Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ricky was right.

However, it wasn't so much she wanted to help as it was prove she was capable. This industry she only had gotten into officially a year ago was a men's industry. She was decently strong and able to handle many tasks, but at the end of the day, she was still physically different and had certain things she couldn't do on her own.

The blonde easily had her fingers find the appropriate places to grip, remaining crouched down. "Got it!" Only once she had signaled she had gotten hold, she straightened her legs, making certain that she was hoisting the weight mainly with her legs and not her back.

With steady steps, she moved towards the bed of the truck with her half of the door, only moving in a manner to complement Ricky's movement.

"...so ya plan on killin' like... four hours or somethin'...? And what if I got some sh*t t'take care of after work?" She didn't have anything planned, but it didn't mean she couldn't suggest that she did.

By all technicalities, Ellie didn't have anything planned for after work. However, she was easily able to pull up a legitimate excuse without trying to hard.

"I gotta get home t'my dog... he goes stir crazy, and it only gets worse if I ain't back by a certain time." Aque had gotten better about his anxieties, but there was still only so much the Aussie could handle before he started getting himself worked up. Last thing Ellie really wanted to do was clean up another anxiety-induced pile of barf.

"Why don'tcha go inside, talk t'Hank... get a business card fer Ed Spectre... call him up and set up an appointment fer Wednesday... Get back'ere and tell me what time yer appointment is, and I'll meetcha there." Apparently Wednesday was a day where Ellie was available.

Slapping her own hands together a couple times, she then mentioned "I gotta get back t'work now... jus'... come find me after ya make yer appointment with Ed." With that, she was already dismissing herself back into the garage where some other vehicle was waiting to get a bit of attention from a mechanic. Her coworker had long already found something else to take up his time so he didn't have to work.
