[ There's a click as Jean-Paul's communicator comes on and his Québécois accent is apparent even as he clears his throat to begin speaking and curses softly to himself in French. ]

It appears I've got my job back. Though I guess it's not really getting it back so much as it's acquiring it for the first time - there's an incredible amount of

You will be colleagues with Charles, it seems. It is fortunate that you have found something to do with your time here, at least.

[ Jean-Paul smiles at that and nods knowingly. ]

Young Charles Xavier. It'll be an interesting undertaking, that's certain.

What about yourself? Have you found a profession?

[manlytear]

Yes, I can see how that will take some getting used to.

Unfortunately, no. My previous work experience involved a somewhat... specialized skill-set. I have yet to encounter any opportunities in the City that are similar.

(( ooc: NAHTZEE HUNTAH is such a wonderful skill-set.))

And what specialized skill-set is this?

[manlytear]

The sort that I am not comfortable discussing on an unsecured connection. I suppose it suffices to say that would make it very easy for me to obtain a position with Mossad if they were in need of operatives in the City.

[ Jean-Paul only stares at him for a long moment, before frowning deeply. ]

There we go. There's a bit of that ol' Magneto spirit.

[He gives a slight shrug.]

I suppose there are other occupations where a knowledge of multiple languages would come in useful. I cannot say as much for some of my other skills.

[letoilenordique]

I don't believe that I should inquire as to your other skills, from what I've heard.

[manlytear]

I'm very good at repairing watches.

[ There's a small laugh and Jean-Paul rolls his eyes. ]

I am sure you are, Monsieur Master of Magnetism.

I suppose I could always get a job in construction or something of that sort. It seems awfully mundane, though.

[letoilenordique]

Incredibly, for your skill set.

video; french

[manlytear]

I suppose I am open to suggestions.

I hardly think I could make a post asking, though. There have been quite too many of those.

[letoilenordique]

Mm, you're right. It gets tiring.

Well. Instead of being so cryptic, perhaps you could share with me more of your allowably public skills?

[He seems to consider the question.]

I consider myself an intelligent man, even if I do not have the same level of formal education as Charles. Some of my knowledge in certain subjects is outdated, but I have been working to amend that since arriving here. I speak numerous languages as you are well-aware, and I am more than proficient in hand to hand combat.

I do not wish to sound as though I am bragging, of course.

[ Jean-Paul just listens to him then, before he's grinning. He seems to be enjoying this information incredibly-maybe more than he should. Clearing his throat, the man finally seems to be considering Erik's words while he prepares to speak. ]

You could offer your services. Perhaps as a translator. Or a metalsmith-but that seems... archaic. [ He smiles at the further words. ]

You don't sound like you're bragging. I could brag.
