[ Minako is sitting alone on the steps of Shyvere, looking down at a few cards she seems to be shuffling around in her hands. She's got a bandage on her cheek and a very concentrated air. She's murmuring quietly to herself: ]

Decarabia, Sati...

[ She shuffles the cards again. Strange - an observant person would've thought that she had two cards

[Demyx is heading out to practice his sitar again; apparently a certain roommate of his doesn't care much for him playing loud music in the dorm they share. He heads on down the stairs, a small, carefree skip in his step, jostling the sitar in the case over his shoulder.]

Hmm? [He slows when he sees Minako, moving over to the side of the flight of stairs to avoid running into her. The cards catch his eye, and when she speaks, he thinks she's talking to him. He stops and scratches his head.]

Ummm, why'd you wanna get a job if the school gives you a house and food? [A student getting a job? UNHEARD OF.]

[thouarti]

[ Minako squeaks in surprise, looking up at Demyx. She hadn't heard him coming. ]

Well, man can't live on housing and food alone, you know! [ There's a moment when she considers that. ] Actually I guess you could, but that wouldn't be much fun.

[He tilts his head questioningly with a lopsided smile.]
You aren't really sayin' that a job is fun for you, are ya?

[thouarti]

Depends on the job! I worked in a jewelry store for a little bit, but that wasn't much fun - most of the time you just hung around waiting for someone to come in. But I was a waitress at a cafe, and a lot of the people there were really nice.

But even if the job isn't much fun, it still pays. And the money can really help out with a bunch of things.

[She's certainly curious about the cards... but she can't help but notice the bandage more.]

Minako? Did something happen?

[thouarti]

[ She looks up in surprise, then touches her cheek with an automatic grin. Her answer is technically true, but definitely not the whole story. Then again, who would believe the full truth? ]

Oh, this? That's what I get for walking around at night without any lights on. It's nothing serious. Just a reminder to be a little less dumb.
