She smiles. "The Bowers works in mysterious ways. I'm Eva. You?"

"Audrey! Nice to meet you."

"How's your stay been so far? Eventful?"

She flushes a little. "Um. Yeah, it really has been."

"Do you want to talk about it, or are you shy?"

"Yes. Both. Um... The food's really good?"

"Not number one on my list of attractions, but yes, it is!"

"Yeah, number one for me has to have been the sex. I was a virgin yesterday. Now I am really, really not."

"And here I thought you said you were shy."

Audrey catches herself. "Um. Well, it just seems a little silly to... keep being shy, when the whole place is set up for... not that."

"I won't press for details. So, what are you looking for?"

"Um... right now, friends. With or without benefits. Are you interested?"

"I could be. What are you into?"

"Do you mean, like...?"

"Either way."

"I like board games and books and the formal dinner place across the way and walking in normal gardens and having sex. I don't know my kinks very well yet. Except for, um, one, but it's really embarrassing so just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Alright.~" says Eva. "Guess what? I'm into some of those things too."

"What would you, um, like?"

"How about a walk in a garden together and after that we see what'll happen?"

"Works for me!"

"But first, pizza and onion rings." She steals a handful of onion rings and starts eating one of them.

"Also works for me." Audrey takes another slice of the pizza.

Eva puts away her book in a voluminous pocket of her dress, and goes to town on the pizza.

Audrey keeps to her steady pace. Nom.

In the end Eva's eaten about two thirds of everything.
