[First view people will be getting is of a sign with a picture of a cat eye on it. Why one might be thinking, but it soon become apparent as the device moves back to reveal the wording underneath the sign saying 'The Cat's Eye' It wasn't long until it turns around and Fai appear with his goofy grin across his face.]

Good morning everyone. As you can see my cafe is ready for a grand opening which will hopefully be today. I figured advertising it will be helpful here at least.

[Better than doing something else he figured, if it's easier it's better in his mind.]

Because it's a grand opening the first day is on the house, but... payment would be in the form of spreading the word for me. After today it can come in one of two ways, depending on which I find more useful at the time. If you are curious about what one method of payment is, please contact me in private so I can explain.

[He pauses for a moment, he figured that was all he needed to say right now. He figured anyway.]

I hope to see you all, or at least to the grand opening.

[Fai had put his device away in his pocket as he had gone back to his duties as a baker and waiter till the afternoon where he was currently in the bake, cooking up a fresh batch of scones, cream and jam for a nice young couple that had ordered it.

His eyes glance up at the clock as he wondered when in the afternoon the young man would come since now would be a good as time as any to test ones skills.]

[Around 2 in the afternoon, Zelos found his way to the Cat's Eye Cafe, taking a look around. The atmosphere here was pleasant and the lovely smell of freshly baked goods soon caught his attention. Looked like there a few cute hunnies around as well!

Once he arrived - dressed in a smart pink shirt that covered his Cruxis Crystal and white trousers - he looked around to see if he could find Fai...at which point it struck him that he never gave him his name, or asked his. Oops.]

[It didn't take Fai long to come out of the kitchen sending a few treats to some tables before spotting the odd one out that was simply looking around.]

Hello there and welcome, I have to assume your the one I spoke to before, correct?

[Zelos waved once Fai spoke to him, heading over with a confident smile.]

That's me~ The name's Zelos Wilder, don't think I caught yours earlier?

I didn't say it no. [He points to himself for a moment.]

I'm Fai D. Flourite, as you can tell this is my cafe the Cat's Eye. So you wanted a job here and I mentioned showing me what you have, so... [He points towards the door as there was four people walking in.]

Serve them and I can see what you do.

Nice to meet you, Fai.

[He glanced over to the customers - quickly taking a glance around to see where the menus were kept and where there might be free tables - then gave a smile and nodded to him.]

Got it~ Don't worry, I'll take good care of them.

[With that, Zelos wondered over to the little group and offered them his best smile. Despite being a noble back home, he was certainly not out of his depth. After all, he spent a lot of time charming women before.]

Good afternoon and welcome to the Cat's Eye cafe~ Please, come take a seat.

[Picking up some menus, he took them over to one of the tables and pulled the chairs out for the ladies of the group to sit down. That done, he gave them the menus.]

Can I get you anything to drink in the meantime?

[Fai had gone to stand behind the counter for the meantime, knowing that he would be needed sooner or later to whip up whatever they order as the ladies looked through the menu and each woman ordering a different tea and one coffee. Fai had to admit that so far he was rather impressed at watching him work so far as he watched one woman be rather bashful around the pretty young man.]

[Zelos' confidence was certainly aiding him here. He gave a nod at each order - and a wink to the bashful young woman - before he headed back over to Fai to repeat their order. One coffee, different teas.]

[He nodded giving the order with a smile. making one drink at a time.]

Looks like you're doing well so far.

Thanks~ I'm guessing it gets harder from here, buuuut think I'm holding up alright.

[With that, he waited until Fai had finished the drinks before he took them over to the ladies - careful to remember which one ordered which drink.]

So, would you lovely ladies like anything to eat?

Not necessarily. It depends on the type of customer, or the number.

[Once Fai had done he went back to cleaning the sides and keeping an eye on him at the same time. The ladies however had been talking about the menu and what they would want before the young man had returned, they had finally chosen a nice selection of various cakes; from a simple chocolate one to a nice velvet one.]

Alright~ Thank you very much~

[He repeated the order to them, just to make sure there were no mistakes, before taking their menus and heading back over to Fai to give him the order.

Zelos was rather glad the ladies hadn't tried to slap him. This was good progress!]

[Fai couldn't help but let out a small chuckle, his watching was almost finished thankfully. All Zelos would have to do now if simply hand them their correct order, which he noted he did get correct. fai had gone to deal with that while speaking.]

You've done a very good job. I think I feel comfortable in giving you a job should you want it.

[Zelos blinked, before giving Fai a bright grin. Looks like he'd succeeded in impressing him, awesome!]

Sure, I'd be happy to take you up on that offer. Thanks~

[Certainly, he felt that the job would fit him pretty well.]

Great, there are a few things we'd need to sort out before you can start though, if that is okay?

[It's nothing too bad at least.]

[He figured as much, but couldn't help but feel a slight sinking feeling in his stomach. If he was going to work for Fai, Fai would have to trust him. As if that was going to happen, ever.

Zelos didn't let that show in his expression, however, just giving his usual easygoing smile.]

No problem, no problem. What'd you need to sort out?

[Fai puts his hands behind his back as he turned and left the other workers to get on with it as he was heading to his office.]

Just working on days and times, that's all.

Oh, right, got it.

Uh...any particular way you work that out?

It's simple really. I let you choose which days and times you'd rather work. I think it's easier that way, don't you think?

Makes sense to me.

[Zelos paused for thought. It did sound as if Fai was giving him totally free reign over this - so not having to work everyday would be nice - but likewise, if he was going to take hunnies out on expensive dates, he probably had to work a decent number of hours.

What hours did normal people work, anyway? Back home, all his expenses were paid for by the Pope, and working for a living was something he never had to do. Still, he didn't want Fai to know he was a former noble.]

I mean, I'm pretty happy with Monday to Thursday or something? Um...what sort of hours do your staff normally work?

Kinda worked freelance back home so not...really sure?

[Nailed it.]

[He was pretty glad to help explain things if one wasn't exactly use to it.]

I think it depends on the person. They would need to consider certain factors such as age. A normal person would usually work around 8 hours a day, but it can be as little as a few hours. Depends on if it';s full time or not.

[Zelos was rather glad that Fai didn't make a big deal out of it.]

Seems pretty fair to me. So...how does 8 until 4, Monday to Thursday sound? Figure you guys get pretty busy in the mornings.

...or do you need more people around the weekend or something?

Actually those will be good times.

[They're busy most days but he doesn't mind all that much. It means more red bills and that means people can get higher pay eventually. Works out for everyone.]

So Monday to Thursday 8 till 4. You'll also have a set amount of days that you can take off at any time. I have yet to decide how many days though and they won't count towards sick days.

Great~ Let's go with that then, Boss-man.

[He'll stick to calling him that unless told otherwise.

They got sick days off though? That was reassuring. At least he had a get-out if it was particularly snowy one day.]

Guessing if we get sick we just drop you a message?

Boss-man kind of makes me sound old, just Fai will do.

[Considering he is rather old is another matter altogether, but thats a story for another time.]

That is correct and you'd still get paid up until the seventh for sick days because after that I would be kind of suspicious.
