Kris had almost a full day of hair styling scheduled, but he also had laundry to do, having had a bit of a mishap with a mug of coffee and the trailing edge of his comforter. So into the laundry and he began to stuff the machine, the skin of his back crawling as it had been all morning.
He glanced round.
Nobody there.
It crawled again so he glanced round.
Still nobody there.

Guy hadn't heard anything back from the Manor - but then it was only a couple of days and his application had been speculative. He still had his fingers crossed though and he opened the window and took a breath of air untainted by disinfectant. At least the cab no longer stank of vomit. He was heartily sick of picking up drunks.
Even though he was a little preoccupied he still spotted the raised hand of a prospective fare and pulled over with a grin.

Ben ticked another item off on his list and smiled at Kelsey as she passed with a tray of mugs of coffee from the Auberge. He had found the shop fitters worked harder and more willingly if they were supervised and if the coffee kept coming. It would be his turn to go in an hour.
"Is one of those mine?" he asked Kelsey and she grinned and nodded to a mug on it's own in a corner.
Tea.
But somehow significant, Ben thought as he took it, of certain aspects of his life. Yes, the mug alone in the corner fitted.
He glanced round.
