The drive to the spa was a quiet one, Sunset not trying to make small talk with her occupant. All she would do is steal the occasional glance at Minerva, and constantly checking her rearview mirror. In her time in security, she had dealt with more then her fair share of crazy people.

The car was definitely a nice one though. Not the best she had ever driven, but it was still a smooth drive as she made her way to the spa. Definitely good for a fast getaway of she needed one. 

After a few silent minutes, Sunset finally found the spa thanks to a little help from the GPS. Pulling in and shutting off the car, she moved to open the door for the mink, her mind and eyes going to work once more, looking over every window and door on the front of the building, as well as eyeing the rooftops and alleyways near the building and across the street.

Sitting in the front, the mink relaxed a little. Pushing back on the seat, she stretched her legs. The seat on the passenger side was set a little further back that the driver’s for the sake of comfort. Minerva had a fondness for enjoying space when possible. The windows of the car were tinted from the outside so once out of the carparking area on the lot, no-one would know it was Minerva Mink’s car which would be helpful. The only people who knew the license plate was the cops and that was so they wouldn’t pull her over.

The car itself, while clearly used for a few years, was in great shape. The engine wasn’t too loud and there was hardly a bounce from the suspension. It acted like how Minerva moved, elegant and steady. It was a smooth ride and it was easy to see why the mink drove it; it was easy to handle. 

Admittedly, the ride would of been a little less awkward between the two if the radio had been turned on yet the mink didn’t want it on. Instead, she gazed out the window to look at the world outside. She admired it like one expected Rapunzel to gaze out from her tower to admire a world she could see yet never truly exprience. Believe it or not, the mink enjoyed people watching. Watching as people went about their days. Sometimes, even on set, she would watch people and make up little stories for them in her head, explaining why there were there at that moment. It was a fun little game….

Once they had parked up, she undid her seatbelt and slipped out from the car without an issue. A nod was given to Sunset, a show of gratitude and respect for her help before the barefooted mink silently sauntered towards the spa and hotel entrance. It was a modest building, a few stories tall with a logo settled upon the front. Two fountains flanked the path towards the entry way where an attendant stood, opening the door for the duo. Once inside, she turned to Sunset.

“You can relax here, Miss Professional. This place is well-protected enough. I shall, however, make you a little offer.” Her tail flickered as she coyly gave a little cheeky grin. “Care to join me in a more…. personal manner when I get my spa treatment? I never enjoy being the only one after all….~”

Sunset seemed to tense at the minks words, almost at a loss. Finally, she said with a sigh, “I… can join you wherever you wish ma’am, but it’s… quite different for me to relax.” She said with a sigh.

Even though she had been a bodyguard for a mere years, she had only ever had one instance of a client getting hurt. And it didn’t end well for her.
