[She writes that down, then opts to dictate a bit more.]

I figured with Max and Sam leaving, and the general lack of staffing I usually have, maybe someone made a resolution to get a job this year. [She still sounds a bit disconnected from it all. The thought that she's been there for three years, that Sam and Max are gone, that Neal has left. Everything doesn't seem quite like the anniversary she thought she'd have.]

The Lux is a wish-free environment as long as there are actual people working there. What the ghosts do or you do when we're technically closed, I can't control, but if you order from one of my employees it's all from local suppliers and farms in town. Most of our alcohol was taken by those looters, but I've been slowly but surely restocking with contacts in the city. It'll probably never be quite what it was when Eliot was running it, but I'm more concerned with not wishing for inventory than anything else.

I offer good pay, plus tips and you can make your own schedule. Same goes for the art gallery - except there are no tips involved there. Also no food or alcohol. Just... art. [a beat] Which residents can provide.

[ LET'S DRAG OUR THREAD OVER HERE OK OK

She's not quite sure what to respond when the notice appears in the journal. She reads it—and pounces on it. ]

I can work! I can do it! I used to work for Sam! I was really good! I was always on time and I did everything I had to and I clean really good! I used to serve the knights and the lords during dinner too!

[OKAY!]

That's a lot of enthusiasm for working in a bar, Arya.

I have to work. I mislike wishing and I need the coin.

[dat face. :| arya, you make it difficult to say no.]

Actually, I could use some help at the gallery.

I know it's not the same, but I have two dogs and I can't stop in the middle of my day to go and let them out. If you wanted to keep an eye on the gallery, I would also pay you to watch my dogs.

It would be very easy money. [Because, seriously, all you do is sit around the gallery and play with her dogs. Plus, Steve cooks sometimes!]

I'd just…be with the dogs all day?

[ There's a catch, right. Those are vicious mastiffs, aren't they. ]

You'd be at the art gallery. People might come by and drop off new art, you'd have to dust and make sure the floors are clean. Others might come in and want to borrow or purchase the art. So you'd have to handle their money and get their information.

And yes, you'd be with my two dogs all day. Chase [The dog, yes, his name is the same as her boyfriend - what of it.] is a small terrier mix... he's mostly a scruffy looking dog, and then there is Penny and she's a Dalmatian.

[ ...seriously. Where's the catch. Do not understand. ]

I can do that.

[It's kind of boring...]

Good, then I would be more than happy to hire you.

When would I start? ...and where is it?

You can start tomorrow if you'd like and it's beneath my apartment. [Assuming Arya has been there before.]

If you don't recall where it is, you can meet me at the fountain in the morning and we can go together.

I'll meet you. At what hour?

We can meet tomorrow at nine in the morning. Does that sound alright?

I think so.

Then, I'll see you tomorrow.
