He looked over at the doors. Oh. Just Ivory. That was okay. He didn't see any point in starting up a conversation past a simple hello, so he waved and moved into the medicine aisle.

Ivory waved back before scanning the isles, and completely jumped when she saw Zane's tall figure restocking items. "Shit!" She cried out, stumbling backwards and almost knocking a display over. "I didn't expect you to be working right now." She admitted.

Anndrea of course only knew of her from Terezi's memories, and just followed Tassek down the aisle.

He jumped as well, sending an armful of purple containers clattering to the ground. He muttered an apology and scrambled to pick them up before he turned his gaze to her. "...oh. Hello. Yes, my hours run late."

2015-06-27 08:30:09

●

She immediately rushed over to help him pick them up. "I can see now. Do you prefer to work this late at night?"

2015-06-27 08:31:43

🌀

"Well, it is favorable as it leaves me more time during the day, but I do not specifically prefer it over other hours." He was rambling a bit, wincing as he noticed the lid had come off of one of them, spilling shampoo across the tiles when he picked it up.

●

She managed to pick up a couple of shampoos as well, keeping them tightly in her arms when she straightened them out. "I see. Usually most people who have night shifts just sleep all day, or have college."

"...admittedly, I do perform excessive amounts of the former. And I am considering attempting the latter, but...mostly it is so I have more time to play." He scratched his head and looked at the puddle of hygiene product. Did they have paper towels in the back room? Or at least a mop?

2015-06-27 08:41:58

●

"I see. I considered doing college but high school stressed me out so much that Lance decided that it was a terrible idea for me." She placed the shampoos on the shelf. Better not be rude, correct?

2015-06-27 08:46:09

🌀

Yes, correct, I applaud your courtesy. He frowned a little. "If it is not too intrusive, is that not a bit of a large decision to be letting someone else make for you?"

2015-06-27 08:50:04

●

Applaud me again and I will knock each and every bottle off this shelf. "Well, yes and no. Him and I were talking about it, and I guess that was one of the things we both agreed on. He likes the voice the things I am thinking so I realize it a lot."

2015-06-27 08:52:42

🌀

Now that's a little excessive, I'd say. "...hm. Just a minute." He went to the supply closet to get a mop and bucket. He hoped it wasn't locked. His coworker did that sometimes, just out of complete non-consideration for her fellow human beings. Ehem.

2015-06-27 08:55:28

●

Oh, hey, Ivory. You actually came here for a reason. Once Zane returned, she remembered why. "Oh yeah, Lance wanted me to buy him some nail polish. Can you tell me where that is?"

2015-06-27 08:58:51

🌀

He blinked in surprise. "Um. A few aisles down. ...why does he need nail polish?"

2015-06-27 09:00:39

●

She shrugged and then realized something, narrowing her eyes and furrowing her eyebrows. "Wait a second, he doesn't wear nail polish. That asshole lied to me."

2015-06-27 09:02:11

🌀

He actually laughed a little, putting a hand to his mouth to stifle it. Wow, he hasn't done that in, how long, lightyears? "...sorry. Why would he do that?"

2015-06-27 09:07:23

●

She smiled. "Probably has your work schedule memorized from Cale and sent me to talk to you. He has grown quite happy that I found someone to talk to that isn't him."

2015-06-27 09:08:41

🌀

"Socializing is always a positive activity." He took the mop and began cleaning up the shampoo, trying not to smear it across the floor too much. It was disproportionately small in his hands.

2015-06-27 09:11:20

●

"And apparently something I 'desperately need.' according to him. Then again, he is a much more social person than me. He used to always go to parties before i was turned, and now I think he's too scared to leave me alone."

2015-06-27 09:13:14

🌀

"He cares for you that much, that is a good thing." He finished mopping up and stuck the end in the bucket, considering whether or not he should put down a wet floor sign for the relatively small area.

2015-06-27 09:15:07

●

"Yes but I think he's also afraid I might do something stupid." Well, he has his reasons Ivory you dumb. You're crazy.

2015-06-27 09:16:28

🌀

"It is difficult to do that when one remains inside as often as you do." Yes, a sign would be safer. He went and grabbed one, returning to set it near the shelf. She's relatively subdued, actually.

2015-06-27 09:18:32

●

You've only seen a small fraction of her. "I prefer staying inside, but I do take walks from time to time around the block. Especially in the rain."

2015-06-27 09:20:21

🌀

As have you with Zane. Relative to him, she's subdued. "That is something, I guess."

2015-06-27 09:21:28

●

For now. For now :]. "Better than watching women repeatedly try on the same type of dress and complain how fat it makes them look."

2015-06-27 09:24:26

🌀

Oh joy. That smirk is discomforting. "...yes, definitely better. Do you attempt to give them advice?"
