Who: Manda Lofton (Rajah) & Ben Kane (Aladdin)
What: Ben tries to cheer her up -- she's in a funk!
Where: Manda's apartment.
When: Eveningish.
After talking to the floor manager at the aquarium, Manda had somehow finagled her way into having a day off from the front lines of guest entertainment. She hadn't been feeling like her usual self lately. Not at all, actually. Had the guests noticed? Well, there had been that guy the other day who insulted her at work, saying she was doing a poor job. Manda knew such a thing was impossible, and she also knew that the sour mood the man's comments had put her in had lingered through the weekend. She didn't feel fit to do her job properly. She wasn't in the right mindset, and she couldn't fake it.
So Adrian had let her have a few days working behind the scenes, feeding and cleaning tanks, among other things. She had a radio on, so she'd still be available up front if needed, but she was actually glad to be putting in a few hours of the dirty work, the kind that left her smelling like fish for hours afterwards. No, it wasn't sexy, but she didn't have much to do with the public today, which was a blessing.
God, what was her problem, anyway? Manda came home, showered the fish-smell off of herself, then curled up on the sofa in her pajamas, into a tight little cat-like ball. She didn't even bother to change the channel on the tv. She didn't need to, since it was still on Animal Planet from this morning. God, she just wanted to curl up and die -- and acknowledging that she felt that way only made her mad at herself.
