The sphinx stretched when she got out of the car and allowed a genuine smile spread on her face. It had really been a while since she had been among people. She could almost feel it, see it in her eyes - the question asked, the time going by while the human thought and started to sweat, the thrill of a wrong answer, the satisfaction of victory. There was also the intoxicating, euphoric feeling of seeing someone die, watching as life fled from their eyes. And there was the taste of flesh...
But that, she reminded herself, was not for here and now. And she had just been asked a question.
"First? I think we should go in first. It is rather hard to buy anything out here, is it not?" She didn't wait for Chantinelle's answer but strode forward, wanting to see what the building held.
The place was full of lights, scents and people. Definitely people. She stood still, enjoyed it for a few moments, before she nodded, satisfied.
"The first thing I want", she said, "is clothes. But I recall I promised to accompany you, Chantinelle. So, in the spirit of us being here, together, I'll listen your suggestion."
