Suprisingly, she'd had a good time at the party, and was focused on listening to Teddy's story, her expression travelling in peaks and valleys as he explained Auguste and his relationship to his mother. For a while, she didn't know what to say. Salem never did, really, especially not when people opened up to her like this.
Especially not whenTeddy opened up to her like this.
She always assumed he'd come from money, like her. Not that she was rich, she just had a stable amount of money as a kid, which, she supposed, could be considered rich in this post-blackout world. She found it ironic that he was the one who ended up with money, and she had to fight every day just to provide for her and her cat. Moreover, a lot of the goods that he'd stolen were similar to those her mother used to trade and barter in order to support her growing up.
Finally, she shot him a smile. "Dogs are all the same. At least with cats, you know they love you for real, not just unconditionally. I bet Auguste thought you were special." She hiccuped and thought about Chrissy. Her Chrissy.
And Salem, her...somewhat childhood cat.
"You know, my mother never allowed pets...but there was this one cat," she chuckled, "this one black cat with bright yellow eyes, she'd follow me around for hours until I couldn't help but stop and pet her. We never adopted her, but I snuck her chicken when I could, and...I know it's stupid, but she was the one thing I've really missed since coming here." She smiled, biting back and Green. She wasn't drunk enough to spill that secret, not yet. "I called her Salem as a kid, and she's probably old as hell now. That's actually why I took on the name. Every time I hear it though, I have to fight the urge to look around for her..." She trailed off and stared into space, thinking about the mornings where she'd wake up at five in the morning just to sneak out some beef jerky to the cat. Of course it wasn't healthy, but young Elisa figured she wasn't eating anything else. Of course, when her mom found out she was "wasting food on a mangy animal", she got angry. Her mom would give her the silent treatment for weeks over a few scraps of food.
"What was your mother like?" She asked suddenly. Salem had always wanted to know what a nice, warm mother figure was like. It was foreign to her; the only thing her mother did was tell her about the days before she was born in a wistful tone, reminding Sal every day that she was a mistake.
