Take a Break

[Ronan "Kitten" Lynch]

Ronan was more than a little exhausted and sore. It seemed that almost all his clients preferred being rougher with him than some of the other girls. Maybe it was because he was small and quiet. Maybe it was because he was a man. He was never entirely sure but it didn't really matter. He always got payed and the other girls always looked after him.

As his last client slinked away quietly Ronan made his way to the bar and rubbed his wrists sorely. That's when his eyes landed on a familiar redhead. "Lily!" He called her over excitedly with a bright smile. If he caught her attention he'd wave her over and pat the seat next to him as an invitation. "I don't know about you but I'm starving. Want to grab a bite with me?"

[Eden "Lily"]

Lily hadn't had anyone today, her price being a bit up there left her just able to mingle and talk lightly with the clients and people coming and going and by now she wouldn't expect anyone. She was wearing a rather pretty pink dress and her long hair was just hanging in curls down her back as she sat at the bar before looking over at Kitten as he approached.

"Yes please, you doing ok?" she asked softly, wanting to check in on him since he was still a bit new (at least compared to her) and so she couldn't help the question. She would slip over to sit next to him now, smoothing her skirts as she held up a hand for a menu for them both. She would order some tea for herself as she tried to still make herself look small in her seat to not attract any attention right now.

When asked if he was doing okay his eyes wandered down to his wrists. There were soft rope impressions left on his soft skin but it wasn't bad. "Mostly just sore, but other than that I'm alright." As he was handed a menu Ronan ordered a tea and a simple salad. There was still worry over watching his figure. Though some would argue he could gain some weight and be fine the boy still worried.

"I think I'll be taking a break for now. I'm exhausted." That was at least one thing that he did love about working at the brothel. All the girls were so close. They were a family. They always looked out for each other when he had originally thought there would be some kind of strange competition. "How are you doing?"

[Eden "Lily"]

Eden looked at his wrists and reached out to gently touch his arm, at least it wasn't bad and raw so that was ok, "If they hurt you...tell, ok?" she told him gently. She still had nightmares about one of her past clients that had beaten on her and almost killed her. It was terrifying sometimes. She would give a small smile and order a sweet tea and a bowl of fruit with a side of chicken breast.

"You should take a break. Today's been...easy for me so I'm enjoying it a little," she told him with a shy smile as she would play with her dress a little. She would give a small shrug and smile, "I'm ok just a slow day so I don't overly know what to do with myself aside from staying in my room but I don't want to get in trouble for not at least trying," she told him as she got her drink when he did. She would sip it, the sugars tasting good to her as she sipped her drink.

Her worry was valid. Though it wasn't often there were times clients thought they could get too rough. Sometimes it went beyond just being rough though. Sometimes it was dangerous. That was why they needed to be there for each other. To protect and watch after each other. So far there'd only been once that Ronan had really been scared and had to seek out help. Which was surprising considering he was a male sex worker that serviced other men.

"Don't worry I will." Ronan and Eden were both two of the softer workers at the brothel. It was easy for them to get taken advantage of. When he heard that she'd been having a rather slow day he smiled. With his tea set in front of him he took a quick drink and nodded. "Well at least you've been having a relaxing day right?" When she suggested that she didn't want to get in trouble for being in her room all day he nodded. "Well how about taking a break with me for a while? You have been working after all."

[Eden "Lily"]

This place may be overall nice to them but it was what it was and there was no real sugar coating it. She often thought of leaving like her adoptive sisters had, wishing she could have joined them but she wouldn't fit in anywhere else but here. At least that's what she had been told, that this was all she was good at doing.

"Good, I don't want to see you get hurt," she told him with a little smile. He was sweet and kind, she liked that about him and she easily could sit and talk with him. "Mostly, yea," she told him with a nod as she sipped her tea. His request to join him had her nodding, she had been out here and thus working so it would be ok to stop for a bit and just relax and get something to eat before she was called upon. "I guess a part of me is anxious, just waiting to hear my name," she told him with a small smile as she sipped her tea as they brought out their food. Eden would likely eat less than half of what was in front of her, she had issues with eating and so she only ate just enough to give her energy. She would pick at the fruit and hold out one of the orange wedges to him. "With how busy you've been, you need to eat or you won't be healthy," she told him, a little smile on her face as she offered him the fruit.

[Ronan "Kitten" Lynch]

Ronan understood far too well the anxiety of hearing someone call on you. Some of the other girls seemed much more accustomed to it but he wasn't sure he ever would. When she commented on him needing to eat he felt his cheeks flush a light pink color. "I'm really not hungry." That was mostly a truth. Of course he knew he should probably eat more than he did but he and food had a complicated relationship.

Still, he didn't want to be rude so he did take the orange wedge. It would at least help keep any hunger nausea at bay. Once the fruit was gone he took another drink of his tea before sighing softly. The amount he'd been working rarely ever seemed to register in his mind until he was far too stressed to properly function. It was nice to have little moments to relax with the other girls though. "You should eat more too."

[Eden "Lily"]

"Even if your not you should so that you can keep your strength up," she told him gently, a soft smile on her face to him. She knew the tug of war with eating when this was your line of work but food was the only way they could keep up with the demands and toll that was placed on their bodies.

Him taking the fruit was met with a small nod from her as she would pick up an apple slice and take a bite before going to work on some of her tea. His comment made her smile a little and shake her head, "No...I need to stay like this. I gain any weight and I'll be in trouble," she would take another bite of her apple. She had to stay young looking, sweet, angelic and innocent. She had gained a little weight once and the verbal scolding she had gotten from the owner had her trying to stay as slim as possible.

"I'll be fine, I've figure out how much to eat and be ok and not ill." she told him, not wanting him to worry about that.
