[It's been a couple days since he's arrived, and though he's not all right - it'll be a long time before he will be able to truthfully claim that - he's well enough to realize that, without a job, he's nothing but a burden on Eren and Mikasa. And he refuses to be a burden.

Looking up jobs in the paper, he has to admit to himself how life as a soldier did little to prepare him for this - but sees a number of promising ones at the Schnee Company, and after doing a little more research, decides that he likes what they are trying to do.

He finds the number to contact, and after taking a long moment to composes himself, makes the call, trying to sound as confident and professional as possible. After his experience in the theatre last month, he's surprisingly good at it.]

Excuse me, Ms. Schnee? My name is Armin Arlert. I arrived here a few days ago. and I'm interested in applying for a few of the positions listed available for your company.

Nine to five would be standard hours for the position, but you're welcome to come in earlier if you'd like. I might be here earlier on some days, but if I'm not here by 9 you can typically assume something happened if I didn't call to tell you otherwise or make not of it ahead of time.

If you need time off, please try to notify me at least a week in advance unless you're really ill. If you come into work and make a sickness-related mess because you have a really strong work ethic, I'll dock your pay.

[ It sounded dramatic, but she wasn't kidding. She didn't want to get sick and she didn't want anyone else to get sick. ]

[Armin nods again - everything she's said makes sense, and he's fine with it. It might seem dramatic to some people, but Weiss has nothing on the military as far as that goes. For Armin, the rules here are going to seem positively lax - though of course he won't let himself do any less than his absolute best.]

I'll see you tomorrow at 9 then, Ms. Schnee. Thank you again for the opportunity.

[ Weiss only gets incredibly strict when things are being done wrong. If they aren't going the way she wants them to, that's when Armin will start seeing how much of a pain she can be. As long as that doesn't happen though, a happy Weiss is a semi-relaxed Weiss. ]

You're welcome. I'll see you tomorrow.
