[ 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. ]

It isn't something that can be played it, instead it must be worked on.

But it's not a job, it's your life.

[ she just frowns at that, something about the statement not adding up to her. ]

Is there any significant difference?

You're stuck with all the bad decisions you make, fur one. And you're not working to make ofur people happy, you're doing it fur you!

...and you purrobably can't quit eifur.

Poor decisions don't really disappear in a work environment, either. And quitting is just as effective in one as it is the other. ...Which is to say that it isn't.

[ she's not 100% on the second point, so she doesn't say a word about it. ]

Yeah, but work is an obligation. You don't have to do anything you don't really want to with your life.

[ she tries to smile at nepeta, but her incredulity ruins the expression. ]

Life is full of obligations, Nepeta. Working, as you just said, among them.

Not really! They're all stuff that you put on yourself. I'm not saying that you shouldn't sometimes, just that there's nothing really furcing you to work.

What about the necessities of continued living?

You don't really need a job fur those. [at least not with Nepeta's concept of necessities]

We can't live in the park, Nepeta. There are laws against that.

How come? I thought it was supposed to be fur efuryone.

For everyone's recreation, yes! But residence is another matter entirely.

Why? It's not like we'd take up all that much room.

Because it isn't ours and they get cross when you stay there after hours. We couldn't exactly bathe there, either.

If we can't stay there fur as long as we like then it isn't really public, is it? And I saw a pond in there! [yes, she is implying exactly what you think she is]

Nepeta, you can't bathe in the pond! You realize that any passerby will see you if you do, don't you?

Only if you're supurr careless about it.

It's public, out in the open! Being not seen would be less likely than otherwise.

Why are we even arguing about this? It's a moot point because I'm not about to let us lose our hive!

I don't know, you seem to be purretty bothered by the whole pawsibility. [honestly she'd prefer living in the park]

All it means is that I'll have to work harder. Given the alternative, there's no other choice.

I think you might be ofurreacting just a teensy bit. [seriously the park is nice, she's there all the time]

And I think you aren't appreciating the full intricacies of our predicament.

Purrhaps. I mean, it's not like I've been here purrticularly long...

No, you haven't, and there's still much to learn, despite being resistant to the methods already in place to do so.
