The reason hardly mattered because either way, she hadn’t. She’d just taken an extremely long lunch break, and the fact nobody had contacted her before now told her things weren’t imploding.

Maybe next time she ought to look for possible artists they could bring in. Pretend she was actually working when she wasn’t really. It wasn’t like it wasn’t unheard of that upcoming musical artists might be wandering around the Alley, after all.

The footsteps that had approached from behind had her thinking the Daniaus had sent an actual person to collect her, but the voice was decidedly not one of her fellow employees. “Kinsay?”, she responded, swiveling on the stool to look at the blonde more fully. “Everything going okay with you?”

It seemed like an appropriate question. Maybe.

Kins really didn't want to do this. No offense to Astraea. But Kinsay Cassandra James would have loved even just, like, the tiniest moment to herself at the bar. She had thought about brushing past without saying anything, but she'd feel horribly rude if Astraea noticed. So. Yeah. She didn't have much of a choice, did she?

Smiling (though it was a tiny forced), she replied to the question with rehearsed ease. "Yeah, totally." It wasn't exactly a lie. Most things were going okay. She had the most beautiful flat in the best part of the city. Her internship was a dream. She was at the top of her class. She had a boyfriend who constantly showered her in designer clothes. From the outside looking in, her life was perfect. So yeah. Yeah things were going okay with her. Even though there was that weird feeling. It would pass. Hopefully.

To help it get there, she ordered herself a drink. A STRONG one. And then turned back to Astraea knowing it would be rude to drop the conversation there. "How about you? Are things going well for you?"
