Ugh. It was another slow day. Honestly, it didn't really surprise Leia considering that it was nearing the end of November, which only meant one thing - exams were starting and the only place that would really be crowded would be the library, or maybe a bar where students could drink their sorrows away. Honestly, she wished that she could be somewhere studying as well, because let's be honest, she really needed all the time she could get. The arcade obviously didn't foster a study-friendly environment, especially not with the loud, annoying sounds coming from the game machines, and customers bothering her about trivial things that she really had nothing to do with. Anyway it wasn't like Leia could study in the first place considering that whenever she was behind the counter, she was on the job. If her boss caught her doing something else besides working, she would probably get fired. Thankfully she usually had shifts alone, so she really could do whatever she wanted if there was no one in the arcade. Although, Leia complained often, sometimes her job really was the perfect fit for a lazy person like her.
The brunette stood behind the counter as her eyes scanned the room. Save for a few kids who probably didn't even go to CSU, it was fairly empty today. She was tempted to pull out her laptop to fiddle around with InDesign, or even start playing a few totally legal and non-pirated games since the few people in the arcade seemed to be in their own zone and paid no attention to her. Letting out a small huff, she spun around, letting her back to lean against the counter. Leia knew full well how employees weren't supposed to leave customers unattended, but she couldn't really care less at the moment.
Completely absorbed in her own thoughts, she barely heard when the door had opened. It was only when she saw signs of movement from the corner of her eye that she hurriedly assumed her composed shoulders back and back straight position, worried that maybe her manager had dropped by to check on everything. Looking at the tall, lean male, Leia quickly let out a relieved sigh and allowed her shoulders to fall back.
The man who had just entered, who was probably around her age, didn't seem particularly familiar to her, and she determined that he must've been a new comer. Leia allowed her eyes to follow his movements for awhile, wondering if she should strike a conversation with the quiet male. She really wasn't one to talk to strangers, especially considering her quiet nature around people she didn't know, but somehow, whenever she was on the job, she felt compelled to make sure all customers felt comfortable.
"Welcome to Allie's Arcade!" Leia grinned cheerfully, giving him a casual salute, quickly regretting her overly enthusiastic action.
"I don't think I've seen you before... Is this your first time here?" She asked politely, mindfully letting her energy level dropped so she didn't seem so ... happy. Letting her own question sink in, she bit her lip in anxiety, hoping that she wasn't pestering him. After all, it wouldn't be her first time dealing with customers who just wanted to be left alone to their games.
