It was late evening, almost dusk. Taeya's shift just ended as she made her way to a familiar meeting place. She waved off to a few of her fellow co-workers, everyone was exhausted. A huge shipment had come in today that required most of everyone working her shift to help unload. She was tired..her arms were sore already as well as her legs. Not only did the workers have to deal with demands of the heavy boxes, Yue Bay was extremely choppy; which made it difficult to maneuver on and off the boats. Taeya couldnt count the times she dropped the heavy boxes on her feet or how many times she was slammed into some of the crates when a wave decided to make it's self known.
She finally reached her destination. It was a large stone/metal clock by the docks. For most people of Republic City it was just an instrument to dictate what time it was, but for the dock workers, it was more than that...it was a signal of freedom! She smiled as she realized she was early. Her eyes traveled down the clock and rested on her reflection in the metal. She looked terrible! Her hair was a mess, her pony tail was almost nonexistant..her belt was loose and crooked. She began to rapidly fix herself up.
She focused on the small plate of metal that was dubbing as a mirror, not noticing the figure that had walked up behind her.
A low deep voice broke her concentration. "Hey Taeya." Tanook smiled as Taeya spun around to face her friend. Her heart was racing. "Heeeeey Tanook." She smiled nervously. "I was just...making myself decent. " Tanook lifted an eyebrow. "And you werent decent before?" Tanook questioned. "I'd hate to see you not decent." Taeya smiled as she walked past him elbowing him slightly. "Look at you, making a joke...." Tanook looked even more confused, he was being serious.
"So, you like tea...there is a tea shop aways down past the park. It has late hours, lets head there. They also have food...we can grab some supper." Taeya egged. Tanook nodded. "Sounds good to me."As they made their way toward the Elephant Koi Tea House an awkward silence fell between them both. "So...How was your day?" Tanook asked. Taeya sighed as she looked at him with sleepy eyes and a pouty face. He grimaced, "You worked the last shift didnt you?" Teaya nodded. "That bad?" Taeya deepened her nod. "Well its over now." He said padded her shoulder. Her heart raced again.
The sun finally set on Republic City just as they reached the teahouse. "There it is!" She pointed at the sign. Tanook shook his head. "Not bad, very homely..." He said as she opened door for her. They took a place at a small table. "My dad comes here alot, actually alot of the police force does...its open pretty late." Taeya said as she handed him a menu.
