Video: Looking for work

[notagiraffe]

Um... hello... [Apart from the lesson from the Kedan on his first day Taiki has never really used his computer. Sometimes he has watched or read posts, but never responded. It feels too much like interrupting.

He's never made one either, but he's been here a month now and he still hasn't managed to get a job. He's a bit worried that people will start getting mad at him for it] Um... I'm Taiki, I live in the Water District and um... I was told I needed to get a job and um... I didn't know who to ask...

[He's ten and his job back home was what he exists to do, so the concept of applying for work is new] Um... I'm not sure what I could do, I can fly really fast, and um... I can read and write and I will work really hard.

Oh okay... [It was still a scary prospect] Um... where do you work? [It might be good knowing what kind of jobs would accept children]

[unetrustworthy]

I help out at the clinic. The big one. Mostly small errands here and there. Delivering papers and folders and anything else the adults need. They don't want me dealing with any of the patients.

[notagiraffe]

The clinic... um like a hospital?

[He nodded,it sounded like an important job.] Do you like it?

[unetrustworthy]

I like being useful.

[notagiraffe]

Me too [His smile brightens a bit] I like helping people

[unetrustworthy]

[Huh. It finally happened. She found a kid who actually seemed to act his age. That was a first.]

[But Midii smiled back just as brightly. Regardless of age, he was adorable. And little boys--especially the ones that smiled like that--reminded her too much of her baby brother to ignore.]

You'll get plenty of chances to do that here, I'm sure.

There aren't many kids around, but there are enough that the adults know better than to overlook us. I'm sure you'll be able to find something. Maybe you can even ask some of the people at the clinic if you want to work there, too.

[notagiraffe]

I can ask... um... where is it? [He's slowly getting the hang of not getting lost, its easier now he can change into beast form and fly high above the city and see everything, instead of getting lose in the streets]

[unetrustworthy]

You can ask whatever you like. It's fine.

[And to better help him, she sends him a small map a moment later showing him exactly where the clinic was.]

There. Can you read that alright?

[notagiraffe]

[It takes him a moment to read the map, it's not something he is used to but it's not too hard. He thinks he understands where the clinic is from it] Yes... I think... thank you very much

[unetrustworthy]

You're welcome.

If you need anything else, you can always call too, alright? Just remember the name Midii Une.

[notagiraffe]

Okay... I will... Um I will try and help you as well... if I can

[unetrustworthy]

[Yes. He definitely reminded her of her littlest brother.]

Of course.

If I think you can help, you'll be the first person I call.

[notagiraffe]

Thank you [He smiles at her] It was nice talking to you...

[unetrustworthy]

You too, Taiki. Take care.

[notagiraffe]

[She gets a shy wave through the camera before he switches the feed off.]
