He pulled a rag out of his pocket and wiped his hands, before dabbing his forehead, groaning a little at how sticky he seemed to be and he would need to take a quick shower as soon as he got back to his place. Luckily, they had just closed the ride, which meant that after safety checks, he was free to leave for the evening and as the sun was setting and no longer beaming down on him and cooking him alive, he was feeling the happiest that he had all day. A gentle breeze blew around him and he sighed in relief as he began safety drills on the ride, checking to make sure everything was working correctly still before he shut it down.
He was busy with his end of day processes that he almost didn’t hear the click clacking of female footwear on the path heading towards his station. He turned slightly, and looked up from the manual in front of him to ask the intruder why they were there when he stopped at the sight of Mina Matthews coming towards him and smiled. Mina had become one of those annoyingly lovable people in his life that once they had become friends, he hadn’t been able to get rid of, and neither did he want too. She was like a sister, always feeding him and looking out for him and he would do almost anything for her.
“Mina” he greeted, shutting the manual with a snap, “to what to I owe the pleasure, so late in the day?”
