"Helloooo! You've reached Jaune Arc! If I'm not answering, it means I'm probably off somewhere fighting monsters or... doing something really awesome like saving a cat, or the president's son! You know how it is, a leader's schedule can be really hectic nowadays, ha ha! Just kidding, I'm probably in school, but I'd totally do those things if I ha-- [BEEP]"

People should mind being punched in the face!! It hurts!! ...Did it hurt? I bet it did. Sousei is like, super strong. B-But so are you... oh man..... I-I dunno if I can handle this.

[ ! ]

--Also are you drinking alcohol in the noon?! [ H A W K E ]

[kirkwalled]

It's not as if I didn't fight back! You should see his injuries too. I was very impressive.

[ but. oh. she looks a little bewildered. ]

I wanted a drink. Are you judging my beverage choices, Sparrow?

[ heh ]

[beaconed]

[ He's just starting to think Hawke might be a bad influence on his impressionable mind! ]

F-Forget the drink for a second... [ He should have noticed that sooner. ]

I know how strong you are, too. I mean, I don't think Sousei killed any dragons or blood hounds or whatever...

...d-do you need help with your shopping bags or anything?

[kirkwalled]

[ sure did take a while! ]

Blood mages, but possibly not no.

[ ??? that actually surprises her ]

Er, no? I haven't even made any purchases to be helped with.

[ unless you want to go shopping with her to carry her bags, jaune ]

[beaconed]

[ He doesn't want to go shopping with her, per as, as spending time with Hawke is both fascinating and stressful, but it's not like he has enough of a spine to squirm out of this, too. So yes he will go shopping!! ]

O-oh..... do you....... need money...?

[ Someone has stacks of unused cash from his time as Magic Jaune. Don't ask. ]

[kirkwalled]

[ this... this is not something she knows how to react to. did jaune just offer her money? completely? without any prompting?

but also jaune is younger than her (even if he is taller. good lord, jaune, you're a tree.) should she really be taking advantage of such hero worship?

she's just going to... quickly chug down the rest of her beer, pulling back from it with a sigh and covering her mouth with a hand as she lets out a soft burp. okay. right. ]

Only if it's in payment for something. Tell me whatever you need to me do, and I will take care of it. Then, of course, I will take your money.

[ a good middle ground. she tosses away the beer in the garbage can on the street next to them. ]

[beaconed]

[ ah! Jaune reaches out in futile as the can hits the ground!! Damnit..... he's gonna have to clean that up when he's on the clock... ]

Something I need done...? Y-you mean, like... assassinate someone or whatever? I dunno... I don't really dislike anyone that much, y'know...

[kirkwalled]

[ SORRY, JAUNE. seems like she... missed the garbage can... ah, oops. ]

I'm not an assassin, Sparrow. I'm not even a mercenary anymore! [ anymore, hawke? ANYMORE? ] No, I meant like... find your pet or get your boss to not hate you or find you a girlfriend or something. Little things such as that.

[beaconed]

[ he responds almost immediately at the last part ]

You could find me a girlfriend?

--hang on, what makes you think I don't have one already!? I'm cool, I'm a cool guy!

[kirkwalled]

[ she's just going to shrug and state plainly. ]

You're attractive but you're young and stink of eager virgin. A few years and a few drinks in you and you could be something else entirely. Unfortunately, that's unlikely anytime soon.

[beaconed]

I......

Yeah, well, that's not from lack of trying!

[ How does that sound remotely better? But Hawke is right, and he just gives her his entire wallet in shame. Please find him a girlfriend, Hawke-senpai. ]

...fine.

[kirkwalled]

Did you not hear the "eager"?

[ but oh... okay. she opens his wallet and takes out whatever he's carrying before handing it back. ]

I'll do my very best.
