05 ❂ Noctua

[absentconstellation]

[ Shortly after pairing announcements, the camera focuses on the front desk of the barge's library where the black cat is often found napping. Now that he's completely free of Arthas, Pounce is ready to turn his attention to more work-related concerns. ]

There are a number of openings for employment in the library. A second warden supervisor would be welcomed, as would any inmate employees. Unpaired inmates do not require special permission to visit the library and may volunteer as they like. Re-shelving is simple work, and you need not rush.

[ He doesn't want to pressure anyone into working here - he does all the work magically, so it's not like the place is falling apart with only the one inmate to help. ]

You're still asking me to donate a portion of my day. What's my time worth to you?

[absentconstellation]

You still haven't said what you want.

[chillestrogue]

Lab access.

[absentconstellation]

Not without supervision.

[chillestrogue]

Of course.

[absentconstellation]

Very well then. For every hour you work in the library I shall supervise you for one hour in the lab.

[chillestrogue]

You've got yourself a deal.

What do I call you?

[absentconstellation]

You may call me Pounce, if you like.

[chillestrogue]

Not 'Master' Pounce?

[absentconstellation]

You may call me whatever you like. My true name is not one that you could comprehend.

[chillestrogue]

I think you have a problem underestimating me.

Fine, Pounce. But I prefer to be called Cold.

[absentconstellation]

[ Whatever man, he ain't bovvered. ]

Cold, then.

[chillestrogue]

Glad we could come to an understanding.

[absentconstellation]

As am I.

[ This looks like the beginning of a truly horrible mentorship. ]
