Victoire had earned a little extra money that week and decided to treat herself at a cafe. It had been a while since she had eaten out anyway, and the evening was quite lovely. She actually found sitting there enjoyable. It had been a very long time since Victoire had felt anything other than anger and sadness, and it was refreshing to not feel entirely miserable.

The redhead went to light a cigarette but realized she was out of matches. "Damn," she muttered under her breath, scoping the area for another human being that might be able to help her out. She spotted a lovely blonde woman not far from her. "Excusez-moi," Victoire quipped in a friendly tone. "You wouldn't happen to have a light would you?"
