[hr]
Rolling onto her side with a long groan, Kali carefully positioned herself on her left hand side, tentatively drawing her legs up into her chest as she wrapped herself into a ball beneath her sheets. Despite being half asleep, she could already feel the waves of pain start to ascend over her body, shudders shooting through her from head to toe, her body rocking slightly in response to the pain. Eyes squeezing shut, Kali could only wait for the liquid heat rolling through her veins to fade. Hissing softly she pushed herself up into a sitting position, blankets falling around her waist. Stretching tentatively, she swung her bed off the side of the lonely mattress, pushing herself up onto her feet. 

Casting a half asleep look around her room, she grunted softly before going around picking up what clothing she could, tossing away the small fragments and decimated shards of what would've been last nights clothing. She really needed to pick a cheaper outfit to replace.  

She could still feel the strain she had put on her body last night. It was likely why her burns were screaming with each movement. Of course she had to push herself too hard before a work day. Kali had to admit though. No matter how much she ached the next morning, and how dangerous it was to be out as an independent, it payed itself off. The deep satisfaction of helping someone or getting some gangbangers of the street always reminded her why she wanted to do this kind of work. Why she wanted to keep helping others. It was deeply ingrained in her body from her years as a firefighter, a fact she was proud of.

Exiting the bedroom, she instantly made her way through to the bathroom, flinging open the medicine cabinet, pulling out a select few pill bottles and a tub of moisturiser. Tucking the items under her arm, she moved into the kitchen, going about her early morning ritual of making herself a cup of coffee before inhaling it and the pain killers. Leaving the tub out on the side, she replaced the pill bottles in her cabinet, showering before applying the moisturiser to her burn scars before cleaning up the remaining mess and smudges on her couch from the process. 

Dressed in blue jeans, blue trainers and a grey long sleeve shirt, she made her way to her front door, backpack slung over her left shoulder in preparation of what she might need for the day. Pausing at the front door, she grabbed a blue snapback from a hook on the wall, slipping it over her dark brown hair to hold her fringe in place, concealing most of the scarring that flowed from her eye to neck.

Exiting the small apartment, she paused only to lock the door before jogging down the hall to the stairs, taking them three at a time. While she knew she had plenty time to get to work, she always prefered to be a bit early. It gave her enough time to settle down and get comfortable while familiarising herself with the layout of the cafe. She may be a long time employee, but it didn't hurt to ensure no one had moved things around.

Coming up on the cafe, she walked around back, opening the door to the employees lounge with her key before slipping inside, flicking on the lights. The sun had just started to pique over the roof tops, the sight eliciting a yawn from her. Awake through most of the night and up early in the mornings. It likely wasn't a healthy sleep schedule, but it was one she was accustomed to. 

Taking a seat in the lounge, she drew her cap down over her face before dosing off, waking up a few hours later by the clink of keys in the lock of the front door. In the dead silence of the cafe, the sound was almost deafening. Sighing softly, she begrudgingly pealed herself up off of the seat, stretching out before grabbing the apron off of the chair beside her, slinging it over her neck before tying it off behind her, making her way out to the front of the cafe. 

[color=darkred]"Kali! Jesus Christ woman. Don't scare me like that"[/color] A deep voice rumbled, the man in front of her placing a hand over his chest as he let out a dry chuckle, earning a small smile from the woman in question. [color=orange]"Arrive earlier then and i won't have to hide in the darkness"[/color] She said simply, voice shockingly low for a woman, the sound almost scratchy with a raspiness to it which came from the damage her lungs had endured throughout the years. [color=darkred]"Yeah yeah"[/color]. The man waved her off, brushing past her o grab his own apron from off of the wall, coming out from the back room a few moments later, running a hand through slicked back blond hair. 

Tossing her a cloth from his pocket, Chris adjusted the tag on the front of his apron before moving to clean some of the tables that were set out, Kali shaking her head at him before wiping down the counter. Opening time was closing in on the two, so they moved quick. It wasn't long after the door opened that the two were set to work aiding the early morning commuters.
