Anna was from Chicago. This wasn’t supposed to be “cold” to her, but damn she hated when the temperature dropped. She was bundled up in a parka, gloves and a hat. She had layers on underneath that too. Still, she felt antsy staying in. She had a day off, but almost felt claustrophobic in her place. Anna also knew if she kept moving, she’d keep warm.
She decided to go to the market - a strange idea when she could have gone to the GUM and been indoors, but this was a good way to get used to the weather here. She took a deep breath, regretted it immediately, and began to look around at what people were selling.
A woman caught her attention. She was wearing a black coat and gloves with a blue knit hat. Reddish brown hear peaked out from under the cap. Anna smiled as she saw the woman’s face. It was Kaylee! Wait - no - Elyse. Kaylee was her stage name. She was the newest girl at Kallisti, but was acclimating well. She had talent and even though it needed refinement, she would get there. The staff at Kallisti were very supportive.
Anna waited until Elyse had turned, snuck up behind her and tickled her sides. Elyse jumped and turned, only to laugh when she saw who it was. ”Anna!” Elyse gave her a hug. ”So good to see you!”
Anna returned the hug. ”I didn’t expect to see anyone while I was out. A welcome surprise to say the least!” Anna smiled. ”We haven’t hung out outside of work - wanna spend the day - get to know each other better?” It seemed like a good time to do so - as if fate had brought them together today. Elyse nodded in an affirmative and they turned to start looking around the market together.
