Tara shook Darren's hand warmly. "Nice to meet you Darren."

"You too, so how long have you worked here?"

Tara thought for a moment as she kept walking. "Hmm…..about three years, I'd say. I also study here. And live in an apartment with my friend Abby(if that's okay) about five minutes away."

"Oh cool," Darren smiled, feeling more welcome than he had before. "I just moved into an apartment a little ways from here,"

"Cool!" Tara answered. "I think you'll love it here. I mean, as long as you love sea animals."

"I do," he laughed, "It's always been a passion of mine, I'm happy to be here,"

Tara laughed with Darren. "I like you already." She told him. "You like dolphins?" She asked.

His face brightened up, "Yeah, they're my favorite!"

Tara's face lit up. "Mine too! You're going to love Emerald, let's get you to the front desk fast so you can meet him!"

He was greeted at the front desk. "Hello darling, you must be our new guy. Full name, please."
Darren smiled, the idea of seeing a dolphin on his first day had made him excited, "Darren Everett Anderson,"
"Okay. Yup here you are, already in the system," She handed him a work uniform and badge, "Enjoy your first day!"

(Wow is it possible to ship characters at their first meeting?)
Tara nodded, trying not to laugh. "Come on!" She exclaimed, acting like a little kid on Christmas as she took off at a run towards Emerald's tank.

Darren ran after her after clipping his badge to his pants pocket. There was a spring in his step, this was going to be the best job ever.

(Yey…….I'm not the only one
And if we do make it a thing, let's actually make it a thing.
Usually when I have ships in roleplays the other person disappears
coughTopazcough

(Lol Yay!)
Tara suddenly stopped, causing Darren to run into her.

"Oof," He stumbled, "I'm so sorry," He laughed a little.

Tara laughed(slightly awkwardly) a little with him, then pulled him down a different hallway, going a different way to Emerald's tank.

He followed Tara… Well actually he was being dragged by the hand, but same thing, right?

(Lol)
Finally, Tara and Darren reached Emerald's tank and Tara's frown melted back into a smile. She dragged Darren over to where Emerald was. "Darren, this is Emerald. Emerald, Darren!" She said lightly, a smile spread widely across her face.

Darren's eyes were wide with joy, "Amazing!" He said under his breath as the dolphin swam around, "What happened with the tail?"

Tara frowned as she sat down, putting her feet in the water. "Emerald got into a fight with a shark." She said softly.

He tilted his head to look at the dolphin, "You should see the other guy," He seemed to be talking to the dolphin.

Emerald swam up to Tara and Darren, resting his (snout?) on Tara's knee, as if comforting her. Tara smiled. "You're right Em, I shouldn't be sad right now." She said.

Darren's amazement only increased, "Can I, ummm," He looked at his hand like he was shy to ask.
