The Lingering Scent of Acceptance

A humanoid feline species was an experimental subject of some organisation although due to certain reasons she's now allowed to stay and mingle with the society which is full of humans. Due to the difference in lineage and appearance she confronts a lot of people whispering around her back. The March month was about to end and so she finally mustered up her courage to work in a shop and become a working societal member. In the shop she met with a man in his 20s who was apparently the owner of the bakery shop. They'd a conversation and she found out many things about the man and has gotten to know herself more. How was her short time she spent with the man and what were her feelings about it?
