Spinel doesn’t need to eat, but even she knows a good smell when she smells one. And the smell coming from this building - Lovely Loaves - it makes her want to float on the air like she’s laying on a cloud.
Following her nose right up to the window, where a number of baked goods are on display, she clonks her face right up against it so she’s squished against the window pane. She looks from item to item, without moving her face away from the window - if she wasn’t a light hologram, she’d probably leave a smear.
A group of nearby smaller-than-average humans look up at her and giggles, and she pops off of the window pane and looks at them.
“Oh, wouldja lookie here! A buncha l’il guys!”
“You wanna play with your new best friend, Spinel?!”
The kids all react excitably, so Spinel takes that as a yes.
She forms a transparent, purple ball in her hand and starts to juggle it, then adds a second, and then - miming as if it’s increasingly difficult for her, even though it isn’t - a third, a fourth, and a fifth. Soon, she’s juggling six balls effortlessly, and the kids are staring in wonderment as they try to keep up.
Little does she realize, though, that it’s not just the kids who are watching. She’s also caught the attention of someone inside the bakery.
