"Markus! It's good to see you!" Rebecca said giving the big man a hug. "It's been forever since I saw you last." She said letting go of him with a smile. "It's just me and Amanda today. And Karen is around somewhere I think. We also got a new guy earlier, but I haven't even met him yet. It's really just Amanda and- Well speak of the devil." Rebecca said as Amanda walked into the lobby. "Hey Markus. Hope your last job went well." Amanda said with a smile sitting next to Rebecca. "Azure's been asking for you. I hope you'll stop by." Amanda said.
The three coworkers caught up on the events of the pet shop, sharing stories and small talk, until Mal walked into the lobby. "Hey Mal. I haven't seen you since Shiva... You don't look to good. Are you feeling ok?" Amanda asked him.
Amanda and Mal talked for a minute, until he brought up adoption. "Yea, workers are allowed to have pets, but Shiva needs a lot of equipment to keep in your house." Amanda said. Mal explained that he was actually interested in Annie and not Shiva. "Sure, I can take you down there." Ananda said. She gave a fleeting look to Markus, signaling a red flag, before following Mal out of the lobby.
Mal walked casually back through thr turns of the enormous pet shop, working his way back to where he remembered Annie's block being. He tried to keep the air light with conversation about the sale happening, but Amanda seemed less talkative than usual.
He reached the cage first, and made sure when he entered to make pointed eye contact with Annie, before saying, "So all I have to do is pay at the front desk and we can go? Because I was thinking about buying another pet as well, as a part of the sale you're having. I think I heard the name floating around earlier, Alpha Bitch?"
