#PennedPossibilities 946 — Do any of your characters have food allergies or sensitivities?Depends on what you mean by "sensitivities."

Daemons are almost entirely vegetarian. Day angels need extra protein for those fabulous wings, so they eat fish and seafood, and, when not available, insects. The Director of Home (she runs *everything*) eats chicken and other birds, as well as fish. AFAIK, she's the most carnivorous person on the planet, but one wonders what happens to all the egg-layers when they get too old, and the extra "roosters." There is a scene where the smell at a "state" dinner turns the stomach of the daemon MC. In another story, another daemon is taken to a fish restaurant / market because she is being rigorously being physically trained and needs to eat like a day angel to succeed in the short training period. The sight of the glazed eyes of dead fish on ice, and a faint fishy taint in the market, reminds her of storm-wrack after a hyper-hurricane, including all sorts of dead things strew on the beach. She nearly turns and runs. Later, she tastes the crab cakes ordered for her and falls in love, then steals part of the swordfish from the coaches plate, finally grabbing the remnants of fish and chips left behind by rival athletes. The devil-girl is something else!
