Ayrah has a minion!

Suklaa the Choco Kitty

The kitchen was full of heat and steam, one pot almost boiling over on the stove.
"Oh no!" Ayrah ran back to it from the sink, turned down the burner, pulling the pot off for a moment before setting it back down and stirring the melted chocolate down.
She was attempting something different today, something that required a lot of patience and vigilance. She hoped she didn't just ruin it, but she was sure she'd find out soon enough.
Wiping her forehead with the back of her hand, she didn't even notice the chocolate she smudged there as she went back to working and perfecting her concoction. It was like a science in many ways. Chocolate could be very temperamental if you didn't do it just right and treat it gently.
"You don't want to overcook it or you're ruin the consistency, but you don't want to under cook it or it won't hold it's shape." she'd explained to one of her customers trying to get some tips on cooking with chocolate.
Ayrah had a talent with chocolate and she loved it. She seemed to understand how it worked, the best temperatures and what combinations were the tastiest without really having any formal training. She figured, perhaps that's why some people seemed so critical of her and her work.
So when she was in the midst of a new project, she sometimes got a little flustered, even if the only one that could see what she was doing was herself- and her cat Suklaa.
Taking a small sample, Ayrah smiled wide and nodded her approval. "Perfect!" she said before dipping in her pinkie carefully and leaning down to let Suklaa lick it off. "Delicious, yes?" she smiled as her cat purred at her and then went back to work.
"It's almost ready, then we'll put it into these molds. Then we can let some customers sample them." she nodded.
Suklaa let out a cute meow and arched herself against Ayrah's legs.
"Oh yes, and Ace too. Of course he'll want a taste. He seems to love chocolate more than tattooing." she giggled.
She figured anyone would love eating chocolate more than getting stabbed with a needle a bajillion times after all. He had yet to persuade her into getting a tattoo, even a small one- but that didn't stop him from sampling chocolate anyways.
"I'll save him some, yes?" she nodded, making sure to set aside a couple of pieces special. After all, he was her boyfriend, even if it had only been a few months.
She felt spoiled, yet no one seemed to understand why she was so taken with this boy. He was vastly different than she after all. He had tattoo's, piercings and his hair color changed frequently. While on the outside he seemed hard and even a bit scary- Ayrah knew better and just like some of the best chocolates, was soft and sweet, perhaps a little gooey on the inside.
She couldn't wait to see him in a few hours. He did spoil her so.
Smiling to herself, she kept working on her chocolates, humming softly as she poured them into the molds.
