Um-

[she runs her fingers through her hair, shaking her head.]

Nothing. Don't worry about it.

[nedly]

[ usually, he wouldn't push, but... he saw her when she came in. ]

Well, if you say so. But we've been pretty busy lately. If you ever want to use up a couple of hours, I can call it part-time.

[theblonde]

[she lightens up, posture straightening.]

Really? It wouldn't be too much trouble, would it?

[nedly]

Of course it wouldn't! It wouldn't be any trouble at all. Um, Olive really knows more than I do about the business, but I can start showing you the ropes if you don't... have plans..?

[ hopeful smile. look at this dork. ]

[theblonde]

Yeah! Yes, I have time. I don't have any classes today, so .. yes, that would be great.

[she offers a wide smile back at him; what a sweetheart.]

[nedly]

Great. Well, once you finish your coffee, I'll show you around the back so you can find... things. Important things.

[theblonde]

Important things-- sure.

[she gives ned a wry smile and promptly finishes her coffee after a minute or two.

she sets her money next to her empty plate and coffee and stands.]

Okay! I'm ready.

[nedly]

[ yes, important things. including not the room with the dead fruit. definitely not that room.

but once she's done, ned is booking it back over to her, wiping floury hands off on his apron. ]

All right, let's get started. [ he starts the short walk back to the kitchen, walking backwards very cautiously to make sure that she's following. ] Thiiiis is the kitchen. I'm sure you can slice pies, so, uh, here's a knife. But put it away from the counter edge once you're done! Um, wash your hands, too, but... yeah. Self-explanatory, right?
