Work started early.
Gannicus didn't have a problem with early mornings, but sometimes they had a problem with him. Especially if he'd been drinking the night before... and he was almost always drinking the night before. His boss informed him a day or so ago that he'd hired someone new and they - she would be in this morning.
Whatever he was expecting, she was... short. With hair that reminded him of home. Despite his generally congenial nature, Gannicus couldn't muster an actual smile. His head still throbbed, though with the water he'd been pounding back it was starting to ease.
"I am not much for mornings," he confessed as he pulled his hair back. They had a fresh shipment that needed to be cut and portioned for the day's sales. It was early.

Suddenly, the thought of hacking away at meat turns my stomach and I have to drop my head and close my eyes until I get my bearings again.

I take a deep, cold breath and put my hands on the counter. "I'm not used to this. I will be."
