When Demencia had to Shimmer to meet her at the restaurant called Villaynes, her jaw almost dropped.
In doing her research about the restaurant, (having never been there before) she discovered it had a reservation list that was quite literally more then a mile long. She had even heard rumors of villains cryogenically freezing themselves to wait for their reservation, so know Demencia was able to get a spot, and for her of all people was honestly very impressive to her.
Her heels clacked sharply on the floor as she approached the greeter, almost tripping once. She wasn’t used to wearing heels, but she wanted to look nice, and she had hoped her dress looked the part as well.
The greeter(jesus fuck, was he an… ape?) looked up at Shimmer, giving a light smile as he said in a thick French accent, “May I… help you?”
“I’m supposed to meet my date here. Should be reserved under… Demencia?” Shimmer said.
The greeter squinted his eyes at her before looking at the guest list. “Name?” He asked. As Shimmer told him hers, a smile soon appeared as he said, “Ah! Here we are! Right this way!”
As he walked with Shimmer, he explained “The Black Hat Organization has been our finest patreon and supporter ever since we were established! Black Hat has only ever come her on special occasion, but Miss Demencia is one of our most frequent customers, and when she told us she had a date tonight we had to make sure it would be the best for her. Otherwise…” he seemed to grimace before continuing. “So tonight, whatever you wish will be provided, courtesy of the management. Enjoy, madame.” He said, approaching the table where Demencia was seated.
Shimmer nodded her thanks as she said, “Wow… this place is amazing!”
Demencia looked up from the coloring page she had been reading when she saw her date in a gorgeous dress and working some high heels too.
“Whoa! Shim, you’re a sight! Thanks for coming!” she set the kiddie distraction away and gazed into her date’s eyes. “So, how do you like?” she teased. “Not too fancy, I hope.”
She herself was wearing a red and black dress and looking her best for the evening. She didn’t want to let Shimmer down.
“You… you’re beautiful, Dem.” Shimmer said with a slight blush. She smiled goofily before shaking her head. “Um, it’s- it’s amazing! I’ve only heard stories about this place, but being here now… it’s not like anywhere I’ve ever been…” She gazed down bashfully and gently slid her hand across the table, taking Demencia’s hand in her own. “And being with you makes it even better…”
