Meredith found herself moving towards the Casino she needed a drink a strong one after the day she had. “A shot of Jamison and keep them coming.” She muttered to the bartender after she took her seat at the bar.

“Rough day?” Elsa asked as the newcomer sat herself down onto the seat next to hers. Honestly they could relate to a hectic work life, Elsa had come out to relax too, and that end of shift slump was apparent in the girl’s attitude.

“Yeah… I have no idea how this map works,” he said to himself, turning when he saw someone standing nearby. “Um… do you remember the way to the activities building?”

“It’s not too far from here,” Elsa answered, stopping mid-stride. They were only on their way to grab lunch, taking a minute or two out to help a lost soul wouldn’t hurt anything. “Do you mind?” They asked gesturing towards the map, if he was going to get anywhere using that thing it would take a bit of explaining. “Although I can spot your problem already, it’s the wrong way up,” they commented with a smile.

Jack froze and slowly turned to where his boss was standing, the weight of what he had done already weighing on his chest as he forced his feet to carry him in their direction. Rearranging words time and time again, he tried to form a sentence that made up for the fact that he had just yelled at someone, but all he could force out of tired lips was a tattered apology, a white flag that was waved too often. “I’m sorry.” He tried, his voice tired and his shoulders slumped. “It won’t happen again, promise.” He didn’t mean that. He couldn’t mean that. It would happen again and again until they fired him. Shaking hands, he shook his head. “I just have one more sweep and then I’m done for the day, I’m sorry, I don’t- I’m sorry.” They shouldn’t have gotten in his way. Why did people walk on the ice, why couldn’t they just stay off it when the rink was under maintenance? Clenched fists and frozen bones, he finally brought his gaze up to meet the eyes of the person who could end this steady job for him. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s alright,” they said offering up a smile. “I realise it wasn't an ideal situation and trust me, you’re not the only one who wants to clock off for the day.. Just next time be careful with your tone, we don’t want to scare anybody off now do we?” Elsa knew that was unlikely to happen, the rink was popular with just about everybody, but they were aware that some people could get really antsy and might report the boy, even if they were in the wrong. And as much as Elsa wasn't exactly friends with kid, he did his job well and wouldn't want to see him go.

“Get off the ice!”

[itselsaanders]

“Hey!” Elsa yelled out, taking a step out of the office to see what was going on. After noting a simple matter happening out on the ice they beckoned Jackson over, prepared to comment on his obviously frustrated attitude. They were well aware that safety on the rink was number one priority but there were nicer ways to go about telling someone what they were doing was wrong. If only Christoph were here, Elsa hated doing this.

“Two forty-eight, two forty-nine, two fifty! Nice work, only fifty more! Huh? HEY, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU’RE GOING? Man, not another one…”

“Perhaps you should slow down a little..” Elsa says concerned as they walk past the scene going on in front of them. It’s not that they really want to interfere with what’s going on but the amount of people that look like they’re going to collapse is a little worrying.
