The meal was, as most things with the man tended to, a surprise. Skarlet had never really felt satisfied with most meals. She had starved in the streets, fought and begged for scraps just to sustain what pitiful life she had. Her ravenous nature did not end when her master remade her, it merely changed with her. Her hunger ran deeper and was less easy to sate now, food could fill her belly but still even so she could be on the trembling edge of hunger and want of blood.

The meat, as he had recommended, offered her both sustenance and liberal blood as well. Not as rich as higher beings, but it was still full and flavored, and she could openly enjoy it without others running in fear of her to ruin her meal. She found herself with a peculiar expression, almost childlike in the freedom of her enjoyment. Another new experience she had him to thank for.

The vegetable was fine, it had good flavor and was filling, but she was very taken with the meat, which was no surprise. She made a note that she would have this brought to the palace as an option for her in the future. It satisfied far better than the lizard and dessert spawn that usually sustained her when she was between battles to feed.

"If this is a taste of home it makes it a tempting place to venture to, if only to sample." Of course, she already knew one delicacy from there, sitting right across from her.
