Teasing the lab man
Mar. 21st, 2009 06:39 amAya had the feeling that the mail lady was laughing at her. Had been for weeks now. That was just fine by her, hell, she'd laugh along with her if it came to that! "Another one?" the post mistress grinned, tossing the envelope into the outgoing bin.
"Yep. He hasn't told me to stop yet..." she shrugged, the new uniform shirt pulling through the shoulders. Hmm. She'd have to fix that, or more accurately, get someone in town to fix it. The uniform for sheriff just wasn't cut right for her chest.
"You could just give me a stack you know. I could send the top one out each day..." it was a fine offer. Except...
"I never know what I'm going to say until I actually sit down with a picture after my shift. A whole week ahead would be weird." she admitted a bit sheepishly.
"Oh? Pictures?" There was definitely a gleam in the woman's eye now. A hint of gossip perhaps?
"Hmmm, yep." Aya noted absently, already turning for the door. "The first one just said 'Wish you were here'. This one says 'Catzilla vs. The Cactus Invader. Details to come.' I'm lucky the little furball is so photogenic. I suck with cameras."
"Oh...I see?" just like that the rabid gossip dreams died to be replaced by...utter confusion.
"Well, see you tomorrow Niya" Aya slipped her hat back on and headed out across the street to the precinct. Oddly? This daily mailing bit seemed to make her mornings just that much easier. She liked that.
