Heather and Cami both came into the restaurant, with Heather letting out an impressed whistle as she saw how clean and stylish the dining area looked. Cami chuckled as Heather stopped for a moment to admire it even more, before looking at the table in the middle of the room and awkwardly saying "oh, uh... Heather..."
She tugged Heather's arm to get her attention, the latter quickly snapping back to reality as they looked at the thin, auburn-haired man with the glasses that was sitting at the table. He looked up from his phone at them, smiling as he stood up and held out his hand to them. "Ah, so... I take it you guys are the ones that applied for the jobs..."
"Oh, yeah... uh... I'm Heather..."
"And I'm Camicazi, but my friends call me Cami..." the man was clearly not expecting Cami to be as strong or aggressive as she shook his hand. Heather was next, shaking his hand much more gently as she formally said "you must be Mr. Thorston..."
He chuckled and took off his glasses to rub the bridge of his nose, before putting them back on as he said "uh, no... actually, I'm just the Thorston's accountant... Hiccup Haddock..."
"Oh, uh... is Mr. Thorston here?"
"Yeah, he and his sister'll be around in a minute. Why don't you guys take a seat?" Hiccup sat back down, prompting the girls to sit on the chairs on the other side of the table so they were facing him. They sat silently like this for about a minute, and Heather noticed Hiccup glancing at her a few times as if he was trying to piece together whether or not he'd seen her before.
He eventually broke the silence with "um... Heather, is it?"
"Me?"
"Yeah... I hope you don't mind me asking, but uh... are you the girl that was on the news after the whole Ugly Thug incident last month?"
"What's it to you, perv?!" Cami snapped, but Heather held her back as she said "sweet Odin, Cami. The guy's asking me a question..."
"Ugh, man. I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have said anyth..."
"No no... it's fine. I mean, it happened, yeah, we can't ignore it..." Heather cleared her throat awkwardly as she fondled her braid. "I'm the uh... I'm that girl, yeah..."
"Gods... I was shocked when I heard about that..." Hiccup scratched the back of his head. "I mean, my mom and dad, they... hm... they always told me to respect women, always, and by the gods, I always have... but to see a guy try something like that, it... it makes me physically sick, it really does... I mean, I can't tell you that I understand what you're going through, cause I can't, but... but, uh... ugh... I don't even know why I asked..."
"It's okay... and thank you, Mr Haddock..." Heather nodded with a weak smile, before they all looked up in shock as the kitchen door flew open and the twins came out, with the brother yawning audibly.
"Look, Ruff. My alarm clock was annoying, so I turned..."
"Hiccup's been waiting here like a fucking moron all morning, Tuff! You don't have any excuse to be such a lazy cunt! I swear to Thor, if you weren't my brother and co-owner, I'd fire your aaaaaaahhhhello... hi, I'm Ruffnut Thorston, The head chef and co-owner of RBC..."
"Uh, hi... I'm Heather and this is Cami..." Heather tried to sound formal and friendly at the same tine while Cami relaxed back in her chair.
The twins sat on either side of Hiccup, with Ruffnut grabbing his bicep and saying "so I see you've met our accountant, and my boyfriend, Hiccup..."
"Oh, I didn't realise you guys w..."
"Boy... friend... a friend who is a boy." Hiccup interrupted in a blunt, annoyed tone, seemingly suggesting that Ruffnut had done this many times before now. Heather cleared her throat awkwardly again while Cami put her hand over her mouth to stop herself from laughing at this.
Ruffnut eyed Hiccup briefly, before her brother reached into his briefcase and looked at the girls. "So... you wanna work at RBC, huh?"
"We're here, aren't we?" Cami snarked, prompting Heather to glare at her as if to silently say don't be so fucking rude or else we won't get the jobs!
The twins were both put off by Cami's remark at first, but Ruffnut cleared her throat and said "alright... let's get this interview underway, shall we?"
