Sigh~ My dentist appointment didn't happen because my new insurance didn't come though. So I've had to reschedule. :( The movie was pretty good though. Do you like Middle Earth movies?

As the book was slid across the counter, Levi looked down at it and blinked. The dismissal was not surprising, nor how quickly the man turned back to his previous activity without missing a beat. Determination at the fact that he had to do well on his first case made him reconsider his approach. He placed a palm on his newly purchased book as he simultaneously pushed his glasses upward onto the bridge of his nose. This man before him did not seem to like interacting with customers, which is something Levi could use to his advantage. He turned, his hand still atop his book, and glanced around to see if there were any customers lingering, showing signs of that desperate attempt to ask for help without actually asking. Luck was on he side as he spotted a woman in a polka dot dress with matching pink cardigan, one hand fidgeting with a thin silver chain about her neck and the other crossed at her middle to rest on her hip. Her idly wandering eye caught his and she smiled, Bingo. He let his hand slide off of the book as he approached her, leaving it sitting on the desk. The clerk probably wouldn't even notice. "Hello there," Levi said pleasantly. "Can I help you find anything in particular?" The woman's relief washed over her face as her hand fell from her chain, "Yes, thank you. This store is so cluttered, it's a little overwhelming. Not that it's a bad thing! I actually like being surrounded by books. But it makes it hard to find the right one when there are so many choices." Levi chuckled at her immediate need to defend her words, a person that wanted to please all does that without thinking in those light, friendly but nervous tones. "I understand exactly what you need. How can I help?" The two chattered about books, the friend she was buying a books for, the type of things that particular friend liked to read, and he guided her around to the areas which he'd been perusing earlier while he thought of a way to approach the clerk. "Ah ha! This is perfect. She'll love it. Thank you ever so much - I couldn't have done it without you," She finally said as she clutched the book she'd finally decided on after serious debate to her chest. "I'm glad the owner finally got good help in here. I spent hours last time I came, and I don't think I settled on anything. Anywho, I'll go pay for this. Thanks again!" As she turned to go upon his nod and smile, he followed behind her at a distance. If what she said was true, and she had spent hours here last time and left without buying anything, then perhaps this less than fifteen minute selection would show the store owner that he was useful. Perhaps he would sway a little, since he didn't seem to enjoy the customers as typical of one who runs a business. Not entirely confident in the change of mind, Levi wanted to be ready to jump in with more evidence of his skill if need be - he was already going to suggest an apprenticeship, which implied room and board as the form of payment.

Wow, I've been trying to get on for a couple of days, but it shows up with that 'maintenance or spamming' thing. I'm here now though. :D

PS: I just saw The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies. I'm pretty tired, so I'm going to bed. But! I only have dentist appointment tomorrow. I'll be on earlier than usual. ^^

Ooh, I'm the master of unfinished games. I have about 5 games in progress ... >.>

It's pretty awesome if you like games that let you do your own thing after a while. I mean, there is a leading story, but you can just go off and do minor quests for a while. It's very RPG-y. Lots of reading and talking to people. Your race and class determines how people treat and react to you at times.

As Aiden explained, Jude actively listened with his hands folded on the table before his meal. The young man didn't seem upset about the incident at all - of course, he would be that type of person, one to easily brush off offenses against him and give it some explanation or another. Upon hearing Annie's input, Jude let his face break into a light smile before he took a chip from his tray. "He wouldn't want to burden someone, naturally, it seems. To avoid all the problems, I would offer the couch in my office, but then I'd have to insist it isn't a problem." He'd been looking to Annie when he spoke, but he glanced to Aiden before turning back to her and matter-of-factly adding. "I am chief surgeon of the trauma ward."

As he had been speaking lightly, he wondered if he should look into the relations between the laboratory employees. It was not his jurisdiction, but if technicians were wasting their work hours being unprofessional then there needed to be punishment for those individuals. Otherwise, it would continue. He would not let his department have these sort of interactions - mostly because their department was dealing with patients right off the ambulance, so there was no time for practical jokes. Reflecting on this, he wondered if that was why his coworkers were very professional and did not relax even in downtime around him.

As the gentleman answered, Levi finally pulled out a twenty. He had exact change, but he needed a reason to linger. The answer he'd received didn't give him a lot to go on, so he had to think quickly. An idea struck him quickly as he recalled little things about the store - the tight space, stubborn dust, customer relations, and fact that the owner never left that chair the entire time Levi had been in the store. Changing tactics, he shuffled a bit as he handed over the cash. "Well, I was asking because I think it might help you to have an assistant. To deal with little annoying tasks, I mean." He perked up, adding quickly with a smile. "And I'm actually looking for a job at the moment."

Yeah, a bit. I'm still super tired, but if that's it then I'm glad.

I did shorter since they're talking. I hope that's alright. ^^;

Ooh, that's good to hear. Perhaps I'll looking into it then. I'm currently on Dragon Age: Inquisition though, so perhaps if I still have some life when I finish. Haha.
