Ella Gertrude.
Ella raised an eyebrow at Blake’s response and shot her a grin. “Resting thinking face, huh?” she teased, straightening up so she could twist from side to side, trying to loosen her back muscles. “Thinking about anything in particular?” she asked, curious to what might be new in Blake’s neck of the woods. “Thinking about the karaoke set later, maybe?” It was a fairly popular event that attracted a good portion of their regular clientele, and most of the time, people refrained from getting too drunk, which meant fewer times that Ella had to de-escalate things. It was almost like a very entertaining break for her, in all honesty, and she was relieved to still have something dependable to look forward to during the week. “Oh, I don’t have anything special to share, either,” Ella said, and waved a hand dismissively. “I’ve got a day off coming up, I might just use the time to clean my place,” she added with a shrug. “That … sounded so boring, didn’t it?”
“It’s better than a resting bitch face,” She joked. “Or at least, I think so.” At the question, Blake finally gave in and allowed her reasoning for coming here to slide out. “I sold a piece today. A piece I hadn’t expected to sell. I’m pretty proud, honestly.” And it was a nice feeling, to feel pride in your work. It was someone to celebrate, and celebrate she would. “Oh I heard about that!” Just whispers, nothing concrete, but Blake was excited for the event nonetheless. Hearing it confirmed was even better. “Yeah, I’d like to hang out for that. Though I can’t promise any good singing. Prepare to have your ears hurt.” She was only half joking. Blake was no exceptional singer, but she did have fun singing though. It was one of those ‘you win some, you lose some’ situations. A attentive nod of her head as Ella mentioned her plans. “Sounds like a solid plan--- not boring at all.” She assured. “I know I look forward to my days off too, it’s nice to have the time.” Though, typically work didn’t feel al too work like. Blake loved her job after all. Days off were just says where she got to sleep a bit more.
