It's kind of strange that it's December again, it was December not long ago back home. [ he sounds a bit...uncomfortable? But he just kind of drops that. ]

I was thinking of getting another job temporarily, there are a lot of seasonal openings now and I have the time. Would anyone happen to know of any temporary positions? [ since he doesn't

I would prefer something with a bigger kitchen.

[Like he cares about sleeping on the floor. He pauses a beat.]

I believe our current wages are more than sufficient to support an improvement in our living situation.

[fatechange]

I'll look for a place then. [ If it sounds like he's trying to do everything then...that is exactly what is happening. ]

...not if Master buys a car.

[baked_inapie]

Should that situation arise then we will consider further employment options. Until then, you are in no need of another job.

voice;

[fatechange]

I'd just like to be productive.

voice;

[baked_inapie]

If you are so antsy, I will gladly provide you with studies to occupy your time.

[His tone grows more forgiving.]

It is rather pointless to find more work for just one month, is it not?

voice;

[fatechange]

I don't need to study anything! I just feel better when I'm working. [ Please, don't make him read the Bible. ]

I used to take up a lot of temporary jobs.

[baked_inapie]

[It's good for you, damn it. It builds character.]

I am quite aware of your previous employment history, Walker. It is unnecessary here, however.

[fatechange]

Did it occur to you that I might just like money? [ because he does ]

voice;

[baked_inapie]

Yes, your obsession with monetary compensation has been thoroughly noted.

[He's met your Master. He can understand the resulting insanity.]

A third job remains out of the question.

voice;

[fatechange]

It's completely practical.

[ a sigh. ]

Then I guess I should just go off and train by myself without telling anyone. [ is he being a brat? oops. ]

voice;

[baked_inapie]

[oh shit]

Wh-what are- what are you eluding to?!

[busted 8(]

voice;

[fatechange]

Nothing at all. [ was that a cheap shot? but Allen's always been for fighting dirty. ]

How about this, if you train with me I won't get another job for now.

voice;

[baked_inapie]

[There is a long, heavy silence on the other end. Is he being blackmailed?]

...My training is not yet sufficient for us to resonate.

[So far he's only managed a whole heap of failure and the trauma of watching Stripp and Haru's resonation sequence.]

voice; private

[fatechange]

[ it's called compromise, Link. You don't want Allen to do something then give him another option that he likes. ]

We managed fine for a while. [ Allen's not entirely sure why they fell apart actually. ]

Was it so bad for you? [ as it is he has no idea what a Meister feels. ]

voice; private

[baked_inapie]

I would hardly call our last experience "fine."

[He must improve. He must be good enough to ensure that never happens again.]

It was not an issue of- [How to explain?] I remain... unaccustomed to the duties of a Meister.

voice; private

[fatechange]

We worked together, we managed to push our enemy back and fight until-- I don't even really know what happened.

[ frustrated sound. well at least they finally got around to talking about this. ]

Did I do something?
