"Care for a lollipop?"
It was as big as her face, swirled into an imperfect chain of bright cerulean and powder pink. You lean in closer to admire the details and catch a faint waft of cotton candy.
"I made it myself!"
Juju's eyes gleamed, rapidly glancing between you and the lollipop. She was ecstatic to be able to show off her latest creation to you.
"I've always loved candy. When I was just a cloudy kitten, my grandparents always had a new bowl of candy on the dining room table when we went over to visit them."
Juju glances down. Her excitement dims, but only slightly. She tries to stay collected, but her eyes start to water. It's only barely noticeable, however, since her tears blend in with her radiant, azure pupils.
"My grandpa went to our local candy store, Azuca's Workshop, every week and bought their "mishaps", as he liked to call them. They were the "mistakes"- a color wrong here or there, or the sugar melted in an unexpected way, or the colors didn't blend right... whatever it was, they weren't good enough to be sold at a regular price, so my grandpa bought them!"
She starts to grin again, looking back up at you.
"They were the best. They tasted great, and were, often, hilarious! One time, for the holidays, we got small, ovular, hastily chopped reindeer sourballs. The twist? They had green noses instead of red ones! Guess they shouldn't leave color-picking to the one colorblind worker there. But no, they were perfect, even with all their imperfections. I loved seeing what deemed those candies imperfect, which now lets me know what to avoid when making my own."
Juju passes you the lollipop and urges you to try it. She continues:
"Those memories pushed me to try making my own candy a few years ago, and I've been honing my skills ever since. I want to make others just as happy as I was as a kitten when I saw a new, mishappen bowl of candy every week. It's something I'm really passionate about, but I'm sure you could already tell!"
She smiles wider as you make swift progress on the lollipop.
"I've been working in my basement for a while, but I'd love to work at Azuca's when I get the chance to quit my boring 9-5."
"I'm sure it'd make my grandpa proud."
