005 // is there time

[serpentis]

Who: Dorian Pavus and YOU
Broadcast: Yes
Action: The House of Sin
When: 3/29

[Dorian looks better than he has in a few days, wandering around his borrowed bedroom and smiling pleasantly, robes wrapped around him and pants and a tunic under that. He doesn't look like an evil necromancer today, hooray!]

I would like to formally offer my services yet again to the fleet. For those of you unaware, I operate a small salon of sorts out of the Three Twins. If you have a need for your hair cut or anything else, please, for everyone's sake, let me do it.

Today is decidedly different. It's come to my attention that perhaps not all of you know how to read, and I'd like to offer my services as a private reading tutor. I can be a dreadfully patient man, and if that is something you'd like to be taught, I am more than happy to oblige.

[Private, to Varric]

I don't suppose you'd care to write some reading material for me?

Comments

I think that's more than fair. I don't have any munny on me, but if I can get some I'll stop by. I could use a trim, and I really don't want to try and give myself one again.

[She did that when she was six, and let her tell you, that didn't go well.]

I can tell! Your mustache is pretty cool. My adoptive father always tried to grow one but it always turned out looking pretty silly.

[serpentis]

[He chuckles softly.]

They are not for everyone.

I accept credits, from here, and also I work in trade, if that suits you more.

[destinyembrace]

Tell that to him.

[Hopefully her friends won't try to grow them when they're older. Neither one of them could rock a mustache, sadly. ]

I wouldn't mind either, at least once I get credits. Though I'm not sure I can offer much in terms of trade. I don't have many skills and I haven't been on the ship long enough to get anything.

[serpentis]

I'm certain we can make arrangements. You could owe me, if it's more convenient for you. I'm not too terribly concerned with it.

[destinyembrace]

I'll keep that in mind. I don't need it right now, so I'm not too worried.

Though... you were offering reading lessons? Are there really people here who can't read or write?

[serpentis]

There are, some that I consider friends cannot, but...I wanted to make an offer to everyone.

[destinyembrace]

[It's almost baffling to her, that there are people who can't even read or write, but that's her rather sheltered life rearing its head there.]

Will you... need help? I've tutored other kids in my classes before, sometimes with reading and writing. Though, I've never taught anyone how to do it, only how to comprehend it better.

[serpentis]

Ah, that could be very helpful.

What is your name, by the by? Dorian Pavus is mine. I would like to know the name of my pretty assistant.

[destinyembrace]

[There's a bit of an embarrassed smile - and maybe a tad bit of blush - at the compliment.]

Kairi. Nice to meet you. I'll do what I can to help. Just let me know!

[serpentis]

I will, indeed. Thank you, Kairi.
