#5. Smolder.

[halffaced]

I have things in perspective now.

I had forgotten myself in wants, railing against the City, demanding my own deserved rights. Mother didn't lie when she said I was the most like her. I could easily become what I least want to be

I take it you've changed your mind about something.

[halffaced]

My mind is unchanged, my Lord, only clearer.

Besides which, today seems to be a drinking festival and Lux will need someone to serve the tables.

[fallen_samael]

I've told you I require no obeisance. Not from you.

Very well. I trust you still remember how it's done.

[halffaced]

It has never been offered because you required it. Will you allow it?

And-- I think I can recall the art of tray carrying and cleaning glasses, yes. I trust that you will say something if you find me lacking.

[fallen_samael]

I see no reason why I shouldn't.

Are there other points you wish to argue?

If not I shall see to providing you with some suitable work clothes.

Take down the want sign when you come in. That, I'm pretty sure, you remember well how to do.

[halffaced]

No more arguments, my Lord. Though I will leave the sign up, you would not have me work alone?

[fallen_samael]

Then hire an assistant at your own discretion.

I trust you'll find someone suitable to work along-side you in the city.

[halffaced]

Yes, my Lord. I will ensure they fill the relevant criteria.

...I do still want to talk with you, about this City.

[fallen_samael]

If you'll be coming in for work, I don't see why conversation would not be possible.

Unless there's something pressing you wish to talk about.

[halffaced]

No, it will wait. I have a feeling there is time.
