...So.... what's a good job for an eleven year old?

[he really doesn't have much more to say today, he's been searching for jobs but hasn't come up with one yet.]

[Private to Zuko and Temari]

Sorry you guys, I haven't been a very good roommate lately. Once I find a job I'll pay you back for helping me out with rent and such.

[he doesn't like owing anyone, of course.]

[ eleven. that was too young to hold down a job, but of course, he'd seen kids much younger than that working in the lower rings of ba sing se during his exile in the earth kingdom. and the avatar himself was only twelve-years-old. ]

Don't worry about it. We've got it covered. [ especially with zuko's increased salary as a deputy guardian of fayren. ]

[way too young, but he's already far more mature than anyone else his age.]

I don't think so, I can't let you guys just do that.

[ having been a part of a ragtag group of kids on a quest to stop a war and save the world, he gets that whole more mature than everyone else your age thing. ]

I wasn't saying don't pay us back, just that we have it covered until you're able to.

So, do you have any ideas for me?

Not unless you're good with tea.

[ a prince doesn't really have much working experience to share... ]

...Are you good with tea?

[ zuko actually grinned. ]

Very good. You could say it sort of runs in the family.

Did you guys have a tea shop...?

[how else would it run in the family?!]

My uncle did, for a while.

[ he admitted to that, only because this feed was locked. azula doesn't appreciate it when he mentioned iroh. ]

That's good, but I guess it's hard to keep that kind of shop going when you're here in Genessia.

I don't know, the tea shop I was working at before I was a Deputy Guardian was doing pretty well. People like good tea.

[ In her world, they start training for battle when they're children. Eleven doesn't seem horribly unreasonable to her. ]

What are you good at?

I babysat digimon once...

[honestly, he hasn't had a lot of practice before.]

Do you have good balance? Are you good at carrying things? What's the most you've carried before?

Uh. Yes, yes... and... I don't know, a lot?

[ She's thinking. It might not be good to have an 11 year old waiting tables, but she could probably use him as a host. ]

If no one else for hire you, I can probably give you an interview for a host. It isn't like they have a fund for underaged individuals here, so I'm not going to refuse to hire you if you'll do the full job.

A host?

[...oh wow. he would have to deal with so many people!! but he could try.]

I can do the job just fine.

I do have to interview you to make sure that's true. I can't just go hiring every person I've spoken with once. Meet me at Geraldi's at 10:15am tomorrow morning and I'll interview you.

....Not at 10?

[that's just oddly specific.]

I have a staff meeting before that since I just became the manager a little bit ago. It finishes at 10, but I want to give some extra time in case there are questions. Giving yourself appropriate cushion room is an important part of time management, Kouji, and if you do end up working for me, you'll need to make sure you mind that.

I will keep that in mind, of course.

[it's really as though she doesn't trust him yet wow!!] I'll be there don't worry.

[ Well they have only spoken twice and she needs a look at his professional side, after all. ]

Dress professionally, too. Just because you know me already doesn't mean that you don't have to.

I'll try... even though I don't have much money to buy myself a proper outfit.

I don't mean a suit and tie, just dress nicely and professionally. No jeans and a t-shirt.

Yeah... okay, I'll try.

If everything works out, I might even have two jobs. [since now he's with another at a tea shop.]

Do you think you'll be able to handle that?

[ She was worried about overworking him with just giving him a hosting job. He needed to earn money somehow, but.. honestly, Weiss had reason to tread on letting him do labor like this already. If she did hire him, she was definitely going to be checking up on him a lot. ]

Probably.

[he's been through worse situations before than two jobs.]

Don't worry about me.

[ Sorry Kouji, she's worried about herself too. ]

We'll see what happens.

I'm not really sure...I've asked around, but not a lot of places want to hire someone as young as I am.

[Hello bitty friend! Luke is in the same boat.]

I might try to open a tea shop...I know I'm good at that, at least.

[OH ANOTHER ONE HIS AGE.]

Open one, really? Do you think you can manage that?

Well...I don't see why I couldn't. Maybe someone older can help. But I know I'm good at making tea so it seemed like a good idea. There isn't so much else I could do, I don't think.

[He huffs.]

... One shop owner told me he wouldn't how me because I can't reach the top of the counter...

..I don't think adults realize just how much kids really can do things.

[THAT'S AWFUL.]

We can do lots of things. If it weren't for my help, I don't know how the Professor could keep track of anything. His office is always a terrible mess.

[Luke sighed.]

If I could open a shop, would you want to work there? Brewing proper tea isn't hard, you just have to practice.

Ah, sure, I could help out. Can you teach me how to brew tea properly?

And I'm Kouji by the way.

Of course! It only takes some practice.

I'm Luke. It's nice to meet you!

[ooc: Teanie Teas has a second employee! Yes! I submitted the shop to the mods a while ago but haven't heard back yet.]

Alright, Luke, when should I come over to learn some basics?

[ooc: oh yes goodie!! they'll make a good team c: ]

Whenever you'd like! I brew lots of tea, so I suppose it wouldn't really matter when you come!

Don't think too much into it. With the gym picking up, and getting the recent promotion at work, the problem is negligible.

As for a job, how do you feel about tutoring students?

...Tutoring them about what, exactly?
