The cart was lighter now, at least. The ice had melted on the way back from where she was set up. The wheels clinking and clattering rhythmically behind her as she pulls it along. Zephyr sets it up at the back entrance, locking it in place, fishing out the few remaining cans and bottles, and putting them into a crate to take back inside.
Within, the owner is just locking up shop as the mall begins to close for the night. Zephyr smiles and sets the crate down with the other stock in the backroom. "I'm back, boss," she says with a bow. "Thank you for your hard work today."
The older man bows back, "Welcome back, Windstar-chan. Thank you for your hard work, too." he replies, then fishes out an envelope from his work apron and hands it over. "Go get yourself something nice. I'll have your pay tallied up tomorrow for you."
Zephyr accepts the envelope, looking inside with awe, then... uncharacteristically, darts forward and hugs the man. "Thank you so much." she blurts out before realizing what she's done. "A-ah... sorry. I didn't mean to..."
The owner chuckles softly. With a shake of his head, he holds his hands up to calm the tall teen. "Don't worry about it. We're like family now, right? Has it only been a couple of months?"
Zephyr nods and looks wistful before her bracelet chimes softly like a smartwatch giving a notification. "Oh! I forgot I have to go! Thank you again, boss! I'll see you tomorrow!"
