A job chat (Serenity, Carly)

Upon hearing of Carly Malec's situation, Serenity had done everything she could to try to make it so Carly could come work at Mariposa. They did have an employee leaving, but not for a few weeks. She figured if she switched some shifts around she could fit Carly in ASAP.

She texted Carly and asked her to come into Mariposa for a meeting. Sure, Serenity was already pretty decided, but she had to at least pretend to do the official thing. When Carly arrived Serenity told her to order whatever she wanted on the house and then she led her back to a more private booth.

"How are you doing today?" Serenity asked, trying not to give the girl a worried once-over.

Carly couldn't help it when her expression was slightly amused at serenity giving her the once over. "I'm guessing Leon told you what happened the other night? "

"A lot of you guys seem like that," Carly suggested, remembering how good Leon had been. It was weird and kind of uncomfortable but... also not so bad? Carly might even get a job out of it. "I'm doing okay," she said. "Like... I could be better."She gently pulled down the scarf around her neck a little to show Serenity the bruise that had come up in purples and greens.

"He, uh, wasn't a boyfriend or anything," Carly said, pulling up her scarf again. "Just some guy who picked me up in a club." A boyfriend? No way, Carly would never let a boyfriend hit her and she couldn't understand the way any woman would, but she didn't say that outloud.

"Literally none," Carly said, making an apologetic face. "Like, I eat at them? But I've never waitressed. My only jobs have been, like, working the counter at Boots and at a service station."

Carly shook her head, looking around, and when her pie and coffee was suddenly put in front of her she smiled at the waitress and then picked up her fork. "Nah," she told Serenity. "I mean, I knew about it. Cause, Joss." She shrugged. "But I never came here before. It's kinda hippy? Not," she added quickly, realising she was talking to her potential boss, "that that's a bad thing."
