I've heard of battlemaids in The City, but not normally... And no enemy, just reality. It's why people read books, too -- because they want to leave behind their lives for a moment and pretend they're somewhere else.
silco, huh. she recalls a conversation a long, long time ago now with takasugi -- and her stomach turns. sariel probably doesn't know, because
well, she keeps her lie detection under wraps for a reason. it's easier to catch others if they don't suspect you. the same here; it's easier to use someone if they only know one side of you. it isn't as if she knows silco herself, but she'd been warned for a reason, takasugi had parted ways with him for a reason, and the other two were kept in the dark for a reason.
but that's enough of that. first thing's first: ]
I'm sure Niki would love to have your help, but what's your current job like? Depending on what it is, I might have a few ideas.
Cleaning! He works at a restaurant, and I'm sure he'd love a friend to keep him company.
But security is of personal interest to me, actually. We had something of an incident during our last concert... and I'd feel a lot better if there was someone I knew who had our back. You'll get to come to all of our shows for free, of course -- and I'll handle asking Silco if he can lend you out, since I know any dates well in advance.
If you're interested, of course! I won't skimp on your pay.
[ even if they live together now she's still paying him a fair amount.
...
is this bad of her? using 3kon to make sure sariel stays close, so she can keep an eye on him? they do need the security though, takasugi had made a point to talk to her about it, and this is sure to satisfy him. except the silco part. but he doesn't need to know that. ]
Niki's friendly with everyone, so as long as you say you're friends you are!
And I'm glad you think so too. It was just a case of an overly adoring fan trespassing into their dressing room, but...
[ but it had given her something to think about. shined a light on a blindspot. her oversight could've costed them more than some numis for repair, more than some lost standing with the theatre management. it's a mistake she doesn't want to make again. ]
Anyway, I'll let Takasugi know that we've found our solution to our security problem when I see him tonight. Don't spread yourself too thin, okay? You're tall as a tree, but that doesn't mean you need to grow as many branches as one!
Oh, I'm never tired! But Rafayel's always teasing me about every new hobby I try, and Takasugi told me to stop being such a good worker since he'd like to have a complaint about me, and I've been scolded for working when I was injured... I like to keep my body moving, that's all. I don't feel like I'm doing any more than those around me until I start listing out all of the things I still need to do before the sun sets and realize that my day's packed!
[ no............ there goes her "technicalities".......... sariel's sure to see the slightest fever or fatigue and put her into bed..... nevermind her offhand comments about a sore wrist, which she'd usually just take some medicine for and continue on...... and the worst part is she's kind of looking forward to being taken care of too......... ]

I just mean you don't need to do too much, Sariel. Though I guess I'm not one to talk.
no subject
you should cut back. don't make yourself tired...

i guess there are people like that
you shouldn't work when you're injured, though. that's bad, malkuth
no subject
I don't like worrying people, but I end up worrying them a lot anyway.
[ ... and after october, physical contact had been hard for a while. even from imprints, especially from her foxes. she's okay now. ]
I promise I'll take better care of myself. No pushing myself when I'm injured or sick. Okay?
no subject
i'll check on you
i'll make sure to do so. if you are injured or sick you only need ask
no subject
And you'll hug me?
no subject
of course
