WHO: Kai and you lucky fellows!
WHERE: A nice cafe in the City
WHEN: April 19th
WARNINGS: None! Kai's a jerk though just fyi
SUMMARY: Kai decides to leave his house for once and enjoy the sunshine
FORMAT: Action

[A little over a month ago Kai took a challenge from Kamui, which was to get a job before the other could. Kai took a leisurely pace though, he wasn't too worried about Kamui getting a job before him at all. The kid could hardly speak correctly, so really it would be some kind of miracle if he could get a job. Still, since he began rooming with Ren, Kai's wallet has been... a bit empty...

For a few weeks he's been sending in applications, and he was finally called back for an interview at a little cafe down the street. He woke up early this morning and dressed very nicely (he's wearing a suit) before walking over there. He was a bit early (about 3 hours early wow Kai), so he decided to order a coffee and a danish for breakfast while waiting.

Do you approach ~~the tsun~~ Kai?]

People will always have a reason for the things they do, but the reason isn't always something everyone agrees with.

But you don't even know what their reason is.

No, I don't. And I don't really care about their reason, either. [He takes another sip of his coffee.]

Then why are you going along with it in the furst purrlace? [more things Nepeta will probably never understand: the importance and intricacies of employment]

Because I need a job. [Stop asking so many questions!!]

What're you using your money on that you need one that badly? [you can't stop her!!!!!]

I don't need to tell you something like that. [Sorry but that's a little too personal for someone he just met. ~~hint he's spending it all on dumb friends who can't save their own money~~]

Purrobably not, but you should know that means I get to make up whatefur reason I want to expurrlain it.

[she laughs a little before reaching for her tea]

[He doesn't answer, just simply starts to nibble on his danish.]

[she doesn't mind too much. Nepeta keeps talking as she piles an absurd amount of sugar into her cup, ostensibly to herself but very obviously loud enough for Kai to hear as well]

Like, hmm...oh, I know! He's purrobably a world-renowned expurrlorer searching fur lost cities and magic relics and needs more money to finance his really expensive digs.

[she looks up at him briefly, eyes squinting in an overdramatic appraisal]

Or purrhaps he's just a tomb robber.

[He slightly raises an eyebrow. Those are pretty wild speculations there, Nepeta.]

[hey, she's got nothing to go on but her wild imagination and his stoic appearance. it's a bad combination]

Oooh, defurnitely! He's an infamous tomb robber who's been causing trouble fur all kinds of purrlaces by running off with all their most purecious artifacts, and now he's running out of money beclaws he can't sell any of them yet.

I'm a high school student, I don't have time for that. [Does he really look like he could be a tomb robber...]

That's purrobably why you're losing so much money, then!

[That... doesn't really... make sense....]

[it totally does because in her elaborate pretend scenario he's paying someone to take all his classes for him ok]

You should purrobably budget your thefts a lot better.

I'm not a thief...

Aww, are you pawsitive? I really liked that scenario.

I don't commit crimes like that.

They're only crimes from some people's purrspective! But fine, we won't go with that one. Do you have any suggestions?

[Man she was persistent... ~~or should i say purrsistent~~. He'll just tell her what's really going down to stop her from making up stories about his life...]

...Friends who can't take care of themselves. [He picks up his cup and takes a sip.]

Ohhh. [she nods knowingly, mirroring his action by drinking from her own cup]

Don't try and overwork yourself fur them, though! That'll just make efurything more diffurcult fur efuryone.

I'm not going to overwork myself. [They're both trying to get jobs themselves so after a while he won't need to take care of them.. hopefully...]

That's good! I've got furiends who do that all the time and it's supurr annoying to deal with.

...They need help, if they're overworking themselves all the time. [He crosses his arms over his chest again.]

Tell me about it. [she grimaces] Sometimes I feel like it's impawsible, though, since they keep doing it even after I tell them how stupid it is!

...If they won't stop by themselves, try lifting some weight off their shoulders instead.

I can only do so much when most of the purroblems don't really involve me.

Then it's up to them to solve their own problems.

...some encouragement from their friends would help, I'm guessing. [Suddenly Kai is a problem solver ok]

I'm doing that, at least! And trying to make sure that they get enough sleep. [she giggles] I've got a purretty good amount of experience when it comes to dealing with stubborn people.
