Well enough

Saffron knocked at the bosses door and they entered his large office. It was dark, with only the light of a candle to show the silhouette of Trist staring at a blank canvas and chewing a pencil. Sam instinctually felt to flick the light switch on, only for a thrown pencil to hit with his hand as it slid up the wall.

Sam looked over at Trist, no evidence that he'd even moved as he was already chewing on another pencil and continued to stare

"Morning boss!" said Saffron with an absolute sugary sweetness that even surprised Sam. "Sorry for the interruption, but I've brought the new person I thought would be good here"

Trist shook his head and seemed to wake up a little. "Oh... Saffron, lovely. Ah- don't worry about the interruption I could use a break" he said and stretched his arms out, putting the pencil down and walking over to the couple.

"Hi I'm Sam..." said Sam as he offered a hand to shake. Trist ignored him and produced a small tape measure, taking his height, hips, waist, chest measurements. He wrote them down on a small notepad and tore the page off and handed it to Sam.

"Very good Miss Sam, take your uniform measurements to Mindy in HR, give her your various details, and I'm sure Miss Saffron can show you how to do what needs to be done today" he said, before walking back to the blank canvas and beginning to sketch something.

Saffron giggled a little to herself. "Come on then *miss* Sam" she said and they went to hand in his details and start work

Sam spent an ordinary day cleaning with Saffron, going from floor to floor, wiping down office benches and vacuuming and replacing tea and coffee in the break rooms. "Maybe this job will be normal" he thought
