[ feed cuts on to kanaya sitting at a desk in her room. her eyes are closed and lips pursed with her thumb and forefinger pinched above them, not parting very widely when she speaks, as if she's under some discomfort.

toothaches are awful. growing your fangs back in over the course of a day is worse. ]

This is likely already common knowledge to any who are familiar with him, but at this point I think it would be safe to conclude that Ron Weasley has returned home. To any who were closely acquainted with him, you have my condolences.

[ she winces and reaches offscreen to grab a glass of water, hands over her mouth as she holds a gulp over her front teeth a few moments before swallowing. why did she have to do this now? this was a mistake, she should have known better. ] Excuse me. [ she pulls her purse onto her lap and starts digging around in it for a bottle of painkillers. ]

So, unfortunately, this renders mine the primary income to a household of six, which may necessitate an expansion of that. This season does tend to create a greater need with the increases in consumption that the holidays bring with them, so I may have a fair amount of options that won't use my age as an obstacle. Assuming I can balance my schedule between that and my education...or maybe I'll simply need to drop that one.

[ she finally finds the pills and drops two in her hand. ] Of course, if any of you require an augmentation to your wardrobe for season functions, my services are always available for an appropriate fee.

[ the video ends as she pops some advil. ]

I don't think I would, mind doing that. I'm sure there's something I could do to help contribute. Like maybe, uh, assisting others with their pets.

If the pace of employment would take you, at least. In my experience, age limits our options unreasonably.

Oh, yeah...

[ hm. ]

What if, I worked independently?

I've done a bit of that myself, actually. The main issue is making yourself known to your potential customer base. Find them or make it easy for them to find you, and demonstrate yourself as worthy of their patronage.

[ his eyes go out of focus as he thinks about this. and then a lightbulb goes off! ]

Oh, okay. I think I have a pretty good idea of how to, do that, which will hopefully work so that, I can be helpful around here.

[ she makes a face suddenly, rubbing the tips of her fingers along her cheek. sorry man, it's the teeth, not you. ] Oh? What did you have in mind?

I'll just advertise on the, this thing.

[ he still cannot properly noun the communicator yet, even after all this time. he taps the side of the screen to indicate, but it loses purpose as he observes the feed more closely. ]

Are you, feeling okay?

Right. That should have been obvious, really. But it might be necessary to expand outside of this community, as well.

[ she screws up her mouth, but that hurts actually, so she settles for a frown. ] I'm fine, it's nothing to worry about. Just...a momentary discomfort.

[ SQUINT. ]

Have you taken any, negative symptomatic reducer capsules, for it?

A few. I'm still waiting for the relieving effect they advertise. [ she disobeyed the label and took a few more than she's supposed to in this timeframe, but she is not mentioning that because that would make her a poor role model. ]

But forget about that, it isn't important. I may have negotiated you a marvelous position of employment!

Have you spoken with Susan Storm before, by chance?

[ eyebrows up! ]

Susan... no, I don't think so. Are they, a friend of yours?

An auspistice of mine, actually. [ a beat, a frown. ] Also not important.

The part that is important is that she is seeking an assistant to help care for her mice, and accomplish the general upkeep of her lab. I thought you would make the perfect candidate!

[ he sure is doing a lot of squinting today. ]

Oh, that does sound like something I would be pretty okay at, probably. Especially the mice part, considering my various advantages.

Which is the precise reason yours was the first name to occur to me once she mentioned it!

I'm glad that, you thought of me. How do I mention to her that this would be a thing I'd like to do?

I will begin the negotiations by offering your name in recommendation. Afterwards, if she doesn't contact you, then I will be sure to arrange a method through which you can contact her.

Okay. I'll, keep a lookstub pointed in the direction of receiving correspondence, uhh, figuratively. Hopefully in a manner that's timely, so I can be helping you sooner, rather than, later.

You know already that I wouldn't keep you in the dark for long.

I do know, and, really appreciate that amount of consideration that you have, for that particular status of mine.

I hope that the amount of paying that I get is enough to, be useful. I've never really had a job, that wasn't taking care of my lusus, before.

Given Susan's awareness of our situation, I doubt she would give you anything short of what we need. She has already described the wages as "decent".

I can live with, "decent." Decent is better than inadequate, or, certainly better than none, definitely.

Any help is acceptable help at this point, really, so I'm sure it will be a welcome contribution.
