Edit Reason: I didn't realize there were musicians playing too.

Paused outside, peering upon the building, her wild heart beat ecstatic. The slopes and curves curled like tentacles beckoning her inside. The interior was just as ornate. Colors exploded in her sights and just like bearing witness to some spectacle, hers were flared wide as they could go. Smells drifted with such succulent temptation, her mouth immediately burst with water. Hunger roiled the pits of her guts. The Above was brimming with so much food, she couldn’t fathom how so much existed.
She was immediately drawn to the nearest table. A pair of people looked up at her expectantly, but Valeriya was bowed low, studying the savory bites decorating their plates. Only with Armande beckoned her away did she finally withdraw. The word restaurant was tested upon the tongue. Apparently there were behaviors expected here that were explained as she was told where to sit.
Vale immediately shook her head no and sat where she liked instead. The table she chose was positioned within a curved wall that bowed outward. Windows shared views of gardens not unlike that where Armande took her when she first emerged Above. She wanted to pick some delicate flowers and smear their silky petals on her cheeks. Soft as fur, their aroma curling in her nose was something she’d never forget the rest of her days.
She smiled warmly at her great love. “I love it,” she said.
She pointed at pictures of things she wanted to try, but even so much as selecting a single drink was next to impossible. She wanted them all. Finally, she opted for something of a deep red color that sat on her tongue like velvet flowers.
There was one thing that absolutely nobody could possibly ignore. Her lids slid low and Valeriya drifted momentarily. It was almost overwhelming since her ears couldn't tease apart the sounds. It was a chaos of noise, but Vale absolutely adored the music. When she could take it no longer, she was pulled to her feet and placed herself before the performers. Her arms waved like water. Her body moved with the beat. She turned and twisted low upon bent knees only to unfurl herself toward the heavens that this place must surely be blessed by.
