Hey guys.

The tea shop is gonna be open for the festival, for sure. But after all the stuff that's happened, we're gonna need a couple extra hands to work there. You'll get paid for your time.

...But you can't use the work to pay off your debts to my sister. Sorry.

Anyway one or two people to help us serve and stuff during the rush...uh, well, it'd really help us. If there're more then you don't even have to stay the whole time. Me and Zelos don't wanna miss the party either, y'know? So just lemme know if you're interested.

[[ooc: Briefly - Sheena and Zelos are married (!!), and they run a tea shop together. Best tea around, hands down, with little cakes and such to go with it. Oh, and Sheena remembers her attacker as a wild animal (instead of a wild Mithos). Needing some holiday help!]]

"Think a certain someone might be too busy to join me-"

[AKA Jet's ~~sometimes unwilling~~ partner and crime/fellow coworker who could be seen being dragged everywhere by Jet, Zuko. No way is Jet letting Zuko out of going to the festival this year- even if he has to take every damn job in his place. And here Jet needed a convenient window to disappear from the festival with too. Perfect.]

"I could use a bit of extra cash though. We talking just the usual busing tables and serving?"

And cleaning up after. Most people in here don't make too much of a mess though.

"Course. It's like houses; what's the point if they don't look lived in? Bit of a mess is nothing~"

[Really, what's a former orphan to complain about mess? He's done so many chores to make ends meat all his life, store upkeep is normal at this point.]

"I'll even sweep. Just gimme a few hours free for the festival the first day, and you got yourself a deal."

Boy, everyone wants the first few hours free. You get off for the tournament, what else is there to ask for?

If you say so. [The sound of a sigh. His debt is a concern in the back of his mind that Giles is always, always happy to lower.

Still. Extra money means more to spend on family during the festival. Giles is always up for that, especially for Vivi, and someone's going to need to pay for his and Helios' drinks.]

What sort of help would you need?

...You're one of the ones on Nami's list, huh? I don't care if you use the money you make to pay her. You just can't use work to get rid of some of what you owe.

I just need more of the, uh, movement-heavy stuff. Serving tables and things like that.

Yes, I'm on Nami's list. So thank you for clarifying.

...is tea for volunteers a part of the bargain at all?

As long as you don't drink my entire storeroom dry, then yeah. Most days I wouldn't get by without having any tea of my own while I worked.

Then I can offer my assistance for a while. Not on the first day - I'm, um, preoccupied for the first day. But if you need me after, I can help.

Sheena! [COUSIN. Jennifer sounds immensely relieved.]

Are you feeling well? The recent Shift didn't upset your health, did it?

I'm fine. I stayed in my own house and everything. What about you?

Oh, yes...I was fine when I woke up. I'm glad it left you alone- I was a little worried...with your injuries, I mean.

I'm pretty much okay now, actually. Nothing to worry about anymore.

I can help out some, if you want, Sheena.

[He's pretty used to assisting his sister sometimes by now, and extra pocket money is always good. Plus it's an excuse to stay indoors until the sun goes down.]

...Does that mean I've gotta pay you?

[she's joking, of course.]

Hey, I'm not slave labor.

[He needs spending money too. Borrowing from this family is out of the question.]

I thought that's what little brothers were for.

[and knock knock - there is a healer at your door later in the afternoon. She has a different reason for visiting today, but she was glad to hear the news about the shop earlier.]

[and in the absence of an affable redheaded flirt, Sheena gets up to answer the door.]

Oh, Raine! I didn't know you were coming over.

I'm sorry for not warning you; it just seemed easier to come over in person. Still feeling okay?

It wouldn't be a warning, it's not like I'd hide under the bed from you or something.

[steps back from the open door, indicating 'come in']

I feel fine. I didn't even have to take a nap yesterday.
