EMMET BRICKOWSKI

Emmet gave a slight jump when Benny hit his head. He felt guilty that Benny got hurt because of him. "Are you okay?" He sounded slightly silent, trying to hide his sorrow. Quickly, after that, Emmet shook his head, trying to get back to his question, "Oh, yes! I almost forgot, haha. Do you think you'll be free later? Today is the anniversary of...well, you know...Taco Tuesday, and they're going to shoot off fireworks and all that..." Emmet took a slight pause, hesitating for a second. "And well...I wanted to know if maybe... you would like to accompany me? It's simple, really, I'm just going to help Watevra set off the fireworks and then party a little. It will be fun, I promise."

Benny set down the box wrench he had been using and walked over to the garage's sink, washing off his stained blue gloves. He was never ever going to get them to look completely blue again, but he still liked to keep them clean. He crumbled up a paper towel in his gloved hands and tossed it into a bin, walking back over. "When is it? I get off work in, uhh.." He looked behind him at the clock on the wall. "45 minutes!"

Various noises emitted from underneath the car, those being ones from the tools laying on the floor. Every so often Benny's hand would appear from under the car and pat around to find something. Some old rock song was playing distantly, but the source couldn't be located. The garage smelled like gasoline, unsurprisingly, and was quite messy. You'd have to tip toe around to not knock something over.

Emmet barely spoke to Metalbeard as well, so he had nothing but assumptions of his personality. Emmet had just noticed how little he talked to his 'friends', they could even be considered mere acquaintances, but oh well. "Why do you say so? What did he do?" Even considering all that, he wanted to know more about them, at least he would take the time of doing so. Emmet didn't care about the smell of gasoline or how messy the place was, it was no different than the construction center.

He paused to use a tool that made a loud whirring noise before continuing. "But uh, yeah, sorry, got a little sidetracked. He likes to take days off to just relax, like anyone would. I know I've done that— Maybe more times than I should," Benny added sheepishly.

"Hey, so, how's everything? Y'know, just in general." He turned to face Emmet after snapping the measuring tape back.

"Everything has been pretty awesome, as always!" Emmet replied quickly, waving his hand dismissively, "And what about you? Have you had a lot of work lately?"

There was still about 25 minutes until his shift ended, and even then, he wasn't sure that the party was soon after work, anyway. It could be hours from now. He wanted to know when it was, so that he could gauge what kind of things they could be doing. In the garage though..? Not much, really. Maybe they could stop somewhere.
