His eyes betrayed his exhaustion, but he mustered a normal smile.

"well, I was gonna stick around for a bit but Theo's sleeping, so I don't have much to do."

he shrugged.

"I'll stick around if you need someone to talk to."

He fished out the pack of cigarettes. there were only 3 left. He would have to save them. he pocketed them again.

"I was actually gonna... go eat or somethin'."

his cynical laugh was uncharacteristic. clearly his exhaustion was revealing his true nature.

"Stick around for a bit," She said with a smile, gesturing towards her usual sunny table by the window. "I'll wait for Theo to wake up. Poor guy rarely catches a break around here. Between finances, and customers..." she trailed off.

Cath put a finger to her lips, and smiled at Kendo mischievously. Quietly walking up to the counter, she slipped a wad of singles and fives in the tip jar, arranging them just so. She crept back to her seat, and slipped into the chair. Unlike many of the patrons of the shop, she preferred tea, and was not caffeine-addicted. She could wait for hours if Theo needed his sleep.

Opening her case, she took out her laptop and plugged it in. She took out a large sandwich, and slid it across the table to Kendo. As a human, she had absolutely no powers or special abilities, but one micro-skill that she possessed was the ability to know when someone would benefit from her bringing food. She was a decent cook, after all.

"So what's new, what's exciting? You seem... off somehow today. Tough test? Call from home? One of the many existential crisises so common to college students?" Her tone was light-hearted, but her intent couldn't be more serious.
It was never meant to be.

"... home, huh? Haven't heard that word in a while..."

He graciously accepted the sandwich, biting into it. It was by far the best food he'd had in the past four months.

"Nah, just having a tiny bit of trouble with money."

he said it like it was nothing, but the empty, tired look in his eyes gave away everything. Kendo was really struggling, but he was too nice to bother anyone about it. he continued eating the sandwich.

"hm... is this what actual food tastes like?"

Cath laughed. "I'm glad you like it!"

She looked across the shop at the sleepy Theo. He wasn't the only one who was struggling financially. "Money troubles, eh? I remember those days all too well. Interview to interview, paycheck to paycheck at a crappy part-timer."

"But actually, I might be able to help. The company I work for is looking to hire a few someones. It's a paid internship position, almost double minimum wage, sixteen to thirty-two hours a week depending on your availability. You'd be editing drafts, and then one of your superiors would run it through a program to ensure the quality of your work. After a year and change, I'm still not sure of your major... but we get a variety of different submissions. As long as you have decent grammar skills, you could edit anything from memoirs, to fiction, to scientific journals. Does it sound like something you might be interested in?"

Kendo perked up.

"O-oh- This is a... very generous offer, Cath."

He looked touched and surprised. He flipped open the notebook as he scribbled something down.

"I'll take you up on that offer."

Kaori yawned widely. She had just woken up from her very long nap, and she blinked twice before focusing on the people around her. She purred, then changed her position and went back to sleep.

"Wonderful! I'll be your first reference, but you'll need two more. Professors that can attest to your writing perhaps, people that can vouch for your character. But you're intelligent enough to hack it in this world... who knows? You might enjoy it, and sign on full time after the year." She smiled, glad she could help.

It was in her nature to try to make things... work out. When she could put the pieces of the puzzle of the world together in a way that made sense, that helped the most amount of people, that was when she truly felt alive. Cath was very Type-A at times. Organization and logic were her strong suits. But she loved the freedom of ideas that was an intrinsic part of editing and writing.

Kitty went into work not a second late. Her boss, however, didn't seem pleased.

"In my office, now." She lowered her head. Word in all the works said that someone was getting laid off, and even though she worked hard and was never late, she was sure it was her.

When they entered the office, her boss' eyes softened. "You already know, don't you?" She nodded. "Look, I'm really sorry. We like you, but I had to get rid of someone and you've been here the shortest amount of time."

Kitty gave a half-smile. "I'll be fine."



Without thinking, her feet carried her to the coffee shop from earlier. Might as well... She sighed, then stepped inside.

Theo slowly woke up cuz I need something to post, and heard voices. ...How long was I sleeping? Ten minutes? He had lost all sense of time a long time ago. He rubbed his eyes and stood up, walking back to the counter. He still looked half asleep. Cath and... Kendo's back..! "Can I get you two ... Uh, anything to drink?" He said, still trying to collect his thoughts.

Oh. That guy is here again. She was looking at Neo. Then looked at the barista, and everything clicked into place.

Ooohhh

Kitty marched right over to the barista. "I'll take whatever the guy over there likes." She declared, pointing at Neo.

am i allowed to drug him with a love/truth potion?

"Hi Theo!" Cath said brightly. She walked over to the counter, gesturing at Kendo to follow her. "I'll take my usual Russian Tea when you get a chance. And get Kendo his usual... my treat."

She smiled at the new arrival, a Neko girl she had seen around town one or two times. The only Neko that Cath knew was Kaori, who was currently napping in her cat form by the window.

"Ello," She said, looking at her, curiosly. "I'm Cath!"

Kitty curiously looked back at the girl. "Kitty." She said decidedly.

"Hey, Kitty! What brings you here in the middle of the day?" She smiled at the catgirl, and leaned on the counter casually. The light streamed in through the windows, adding to the bright atmosphere.

Her cheery disposition was... off-putting. Not many humans were nice to her. "I just go laid off." She mumbled, still in her sleek black dress from waitressing.

"Oh my ogd. I'm so, so, sorry." That was... not what Cath had expected her to say. They were strangers at this point... but perhaps she needed to talk about it. She understood how sh*tty pity felt, so she tried to compose her face into a neutral expression. "How about I buy you Kendo's usual, and we sit down for a bit? We can discuss options for the future... assuming you're comfortable?"

Kitty blinked back surprise. "I had just ordered something myself, actually. I was planning to go home and change - No point in me wearing this unless I want to get hit on." She frowned. I need to go shopping soon...

Cath laughed. The Neko had a good sense of humor. "Alright! Let me know if a stranger in a coffee shop can help... my company's looking to hire some interns... have you ever edited anything before?"

"Sure." She shrugged. "I'm a writer in my spare time - I should be releasing a novel here soon."

"He's already had some coffee today... but if you insist. Two cups of espresso and a cup of Russian Tea coming up." He said, grinning and rubbing his eyes again before trudging over to the coffee machine.

Percy groaned, hiding at the area on the ground where he was before with the drawers. “I’m hungry now…” He stared up, hearing the coffee machine. Percy grumbled, walking away to the other corner of the wall, a bit further away.
