 [He's still thin, but he doesn't look so sick now that he's been here for a few days. His expression is twisted and smoldering with annoyance, anger, something. If his memory weren't so impeccable, today would just be any other day, but no. He remembers Kakashi's birthday as though the date had been singed into his head with an iron brand.

His mind never misses an opportunity to beat the shit out of him.

So the words are a little harsher, more clipped than they might have been, for the neutrality of the question.]

I need somewhere with a lot of space to train. 

And a job. 

Comments

[bondsoflove]

What are you going to pay me?

[blondejokes]

Seven dollars an hour. If we get any tips, you can talk with Youko and Luke to split them up between the three of you.

How much do you know about flowers?

[bondsoflove]

They come out of the dirt.

[Dryly.]

And that a lot of them can be used for poisons.

[blondejokes]

[ Well... he's not wrong. ]

We don't carry poisonous flowers in the shop.

But don't worry, Luke or I can give you some quick lessons for your first week. It isn't hard; Luke learned it all pretty quickly.

[ Luke is her star employee. ]

[bondsoflove]

[His eyes narrow.]

Who is Luke?

[blondejokes]

He's a Duke. [ And he's dating a princess. THAT SHE SET UP. Because she's such a good friend. ]

Luke's a great guy, I'm sure you two will ... not grow to hate each other. [ Like was a strong word for Sasuke. It always has been. ]

[bondsoflove]

Luke the Duke.

[His raised eyebrow indicates how seriously he's taking this.]

I don't want to work with customers.

[blondejokes]

[ Her facial expression should indicate how hilarious she thinks he is. ]

Okay, then you can just work in the back and sort out the seeds I get from the greenhouse.

[bondsoflove]

Fine. When do I have to come in?

[blondejokes]

Monday morning at 9.

[ She texts the address of the shop. ]

I'll have an apron ready for you. [ Don't worry, it won't say Sasuke-kun. ]

[bondsoflove]

Do I have to wear an apron?

[blondejokes]

Yes.

[bondsoflove]

Why?

[blondejokes]

Because otherwise our clothes will get dirty. And it's better than making everyone wear a uniform.

[bondsoflove]

My clothes are already dirty.

[blondejokes]

Just because you're working in a flower shop isn't an excuse to look like a slob.

[bondsoflove]

I'm a neat worker.

[blondejokes]

Good, but you're still going to wear an apron.

[bondsoflove]

What color?

[blondejokes]

We have green or yellow to choose from.

[bondsoflove]

Green.

[Yellow doesn't go with his coloring. It makes him look sickly.]

[blondejokes]

Okay, I'll haul one out of the back for you.

[ They might have little flowers embroidered on them. For once, not Ino's fault. ]

[bondsoflove]

I'll see you Monday.

[And he cuts the feed.]
