Full of pins, thanks for asking.

[ Her short term mobility is improved enough that she can leave the crutches in the back while she works, provided she doesn't wander too much. It would be a relief, but her job mainly consists of sitting in one place, eating fattening food and waiting for something to happen, so what difference does it make anyway?

Needless to say, he's a (reasonably) welcome distraction from how cranky boredom and pain might otherwise make her. She can't stop harping over it in narration, after all! ]

So, what did you do for a living before you got here?

Well, I like to stay updated on the people that have impacted my life.

[ It's amazing that he manages to retain that cavalier tone even for a line like this, as if they aren't both brutally aware of their own brief history together. Not an amazing track record. ]

Before all this? That's the million dollar question... or sometimes way more and most times way less.

I was a contractor.

[ Aranea props her head up on a hand and lets her fingers curl over a discreet smile. Not an amazing track record, indeed, but she hardly seems annoyed to be reminded of it. ]

I'm just gonna assume you're not referring to building houses.

[ Niflheim'd had military contractors, too. She's not unfamiliar with the concept. He dresses up a fairly unpleasant line of work with a neutral term. Along with the monetary value so neatly slid into his words - it's all familar. She's reminded a little of herself, a few years ago, perhaps. Before the top political tiers had proven thoroughly disillusioning, or before Eos had stared to deteroriate and made things too personal. ]

So it took, what, five seconds here before you resorted to assault and petty theft? [ She doesn't sound too judgmental, for obvious reasons. Her normal amount, or a bit less. ] There were better resources available, you know.
