[Aaron refuses to look at the camera. Instead he awkwardly plays with the sleeve of the tattered jacket he's recently acquired and ducks his head.]

I was ho-hoping somebody could give- could give me a job... I-I don't have any special ski-skills or anything but I-I'd work hard. [He lifts his eyes briefly to the camera and offers a hint of a smile.

It's nice to meet you too, Aaron. Have people given you any suggestions for a job?

I-I been told that Mr. Nagi's always hi-hiring people. Not so sure I'd be a- be a good cook though. [He blushes and laughs a bit.]

There's a dojo in the city. Someone there will work with you on strength training and defending yourself, if you put forth the effort.

What's your name?

[thebutcherboy]

I-I'm Aaron Stampler... I d-don't know if I'd be any good- any good at training... Always been told I have t-two left- left feet, sir...

Aaron? [Oh, the bitter irony. He knew an Aaron in World's End, knew him rather well. Now, he can hear the similarities.]

Giving up before you try?

Voice

[thebutcherboy]

No! N-no, sir, I-I'm just wa-warning you is all...

[dollchains]

You're looking for a job, Aaron? [She smiles a little. He's trying hard, even though he just got here.] Good luck!

[thebutcherboy]

Th-thanks Miss Namine! I think I- think I've found something too! I mi-might be working at- at Mr. Nagi's.

[dollchains]

Really? Can you cook? [Not that she doubts him. Honestly, she's a little bit impressed, if he can.]

[thebutcherboy]

Well, not- not really... But I can clean... or l-learn!
