Rylan would be the first to admit when she doesn’t know someone but wishes to spend more time with them. Felix was one of those cases. She had spent plenty of time around different types of personalities. Everyone was different, there was no denying that, especially in this world. Her father was more of the type to blunt but secretive. He didn't wear any type of emotion on his sleeve and she can't recall a moment that she saw anything out of him except for the basics of happiness and sadness. He wore a mask that hid everything so well. So well that she used to be envious of such an act. How was he so good at it when the rest seemed so terrible? A question she later discovered the answer to. Her mother, on the other hand, wore her emotions on her sleeve. She cried when she felt sad and she shown different tones of happiness when they presented themselves to her. She wasn't so much an emotional person but she wasn't afraid to let the world see just exactly how she felt. It was how she raised her three kids, even if each of them were different. Rylan was in between the two of them in that aspect. Drawing from them both. Though, she also had the personalities of those in the shop as well. Having been a cheerleader in high school and grown into a young woman who knew that she looked good, had made her grow used to being seen as nothing more than a piece of meat, especially on the shop floor. It was different world in there. A world where men dominated and expected to be treated like Gods. She wanted to show that Goddesses existed too. It wasn't just a penis fest when it came to cars and other sorts of vehicles.

When she had first met Felix on the job. She enjoyed the banter she had with him. The way they could be flirtatious together while she was under the hood of his car. He was tall. Attractive and could make her laugh. All surface things that she was attracted to but it made her want to get to know him more. To spend that time with him and see just how far they could go with this. He seemed cool, even if his car wasn't but that was, yet again, another surface thing. Cars could be changed with work and, unfortunately, money as well but she could do all that with her eyes closed, all he had to do was ask. The thought of it was something that made her heart warm. This was what she liked about her job, even if it made her father mad. She liked helping others who couldn't even change a tire or had the funds to pay for the full fix. She liked knowing that she could get their vehicle fixed up and ready to continue the journey from point A to point B or C. A vehicle could be an extension of a person, something she was no stranger of knowing. She had seen plenty of people pass through the shop who would beg and plead for a payment plan or some type of bargain and she would see how her father would treat them. Something she'd never want to do to another person if she could help.

"You're right." Rylan pauses after he speaks, her light blue gaze settling upon him as she leans back against one of the many work benches in the shop. It was empty. They were the only two and the car that sat between them. She liked the silence though. The way the shop became a ghost town when everyone else had left for the night or had the weekends off. It was just her and the smell of oils and other such things that filled the atmosphere. In this case, it was her and Felix and all those tantalizing smells that others could hate. "But you do realize that the only way to change that is for us to spend more time together, right?" There's a slight raise to her left eyebrow as she speaks, arms crossing over her chest, one foot coming to cross over the other as she lets the work bench hold her weight with the other foot on the ground. "You get to know someone by telling them about *you* and your life." A pause and she lets her hands drop to her sides just then. "Here's to hoping you like my company because I *do* want to get to know you better, Felix." Though, she motions to the car near them, sitting in the middle of one of the many work places in the shop. “We can talk while I work.”
