Kara didn't mind in the least going out just for desserts. In fact, she thought it was an excellent idea. And she didn't need to eat anyway, so it wasn't as though she was ruining some diet by having nothing but cake that cake.

Best of all, she thought, was going out to eat cake with a couple of good friends. There had been a long time where she wondered if she would ever go out with friends again, if it would ever be the same. In more ways than she had expected, it was exactly the same. They laughed, made jokes, talked about their mutual acquaintances.

Kara loved the normal life. That was why there was a smile on her face as the three sat down and were asked for their drink orders. This was about as normal as it could get, considering they were in a city built on the back of a turtle that magically translated everything they said.

It was amazing what little it took to appease her sometime. Zatanna gave her friend a warm smile, lightly nudging her side in a teasing manner before turning back to Ava.

"Well...we kind of put in a big order, so I'd say..." Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of their server approaching, a boy carrying a large tray of small plates behind. "Right about now?"

"Awesome!" Unlimited amounts of desert are enough to brighten Ava up even more than she already is.

...Well, not actually unlimited, but way more than she can eat.

"Sweet." She grinned at what she thought of as a clever pun. She had learned the exclamation from listening to others around the turtle. As the food was placed before them she watched eagerly and took in the various smells and the delicious-looking arrangements. It was almost like feeling actual hunger.

Zatanna would have grinned proudly at the pun, except she was too busy mentally claiming a bite of everything that immediately looked appetizing.

Like that one dish. Some sort of...peanut butter and chocolate mousse? Maybe? ...oh, no, wait, that tasted more like expresso than peanut butter. Mmmm.

Two bites in, and the fifteen-year-old was in heaven.

Ava laughs a little too much at that pun. It was super funny, right?

...Either way, they've got some kind of cheesecake. Or something like it. Something that she hasn't had since she got to the turtle.

Kara makes a cursory attempt to look dignified while she tries everything that's been laid in front of her. That effort ends almost immediately, as she begins making noises of approval at just about everything that enters her mouth.

Zatanna waited until she had at least one bite of everything within reach before looking up.

"Alright, ladies. Moment of Truth: any early favorites?"

[superoverachiever]

"I can't decide." She shrugs and takes another bite of the cheesecake and something else intensely chocolately. "There's too much good stuff."

[notdreaming]

"My favorite is the food," Kara declared helpfully with a huge smile. It felt so good to just hang out with friends.

"You two aren't very good at this, are you?" Zatanna smirked, taking another bite of what looked like purple jello. Except it wasn't. "Come on, pick one thing."

[superoverachiever]

"Food IS one thing," Ava points out so very helpfully.

[notdreaming]

"I like this one," Kara decided before popping a bite of food into her mouth. She didn't even look at the dish she picked it from.
