Apartment Above Fina, Wednesday

There was a little bit of tidying-up to do after Lulu's visitor the night before what is still being played out, but it has a most satisfactory ending, so she was spending her afternoon bustling around, taking care of the little things

Zack had... kinda missed his shift on Monday. Which was sort of a conscious decision yes, and so he really had to own up to it.

The dishes had directed him upstairs, to Lulu's apartment. Zack kinda spent a few moments fidgeting at the door before actually getting around to knocking. Fessing up to missing a shift was tricky enough. Doing so on your employer's front step was a different matter entirely.

"Zack!" Lulu said, smiling broadly, when she opened the door. "Come in, come in-- Can I get you something? Something to drink, perhaps?

She knew perfectly well he'd missed his shift, but really, after that weekend, she could only assume he had good reason. ... She'd let him get to that himself, though.

"I... Um." Wow, Lulu was tough to come to with one's tail between one's knees, when she gave such a warm reception at the door. No wonder the dishes seemed to like her so much. "I'm okay, I think. I just wanted to apologize. I mean, for not coming in on Monday."

The fidgeting continued. The looking down at the toes of his boots was possibly new.

Lulu stepped back a little, trying to project, y'know, a 'pfft, whatever' kind of attitude while giving him more room to come in. "It's all right -- I'm sure after this past weekend, we all needed a little time to recover. If only from the sheer brain-breaking we received."
