I should go see Idril sometime
So Nuala made her visit that evening after the ravens 'encouraged' me to help them.
Yaban: they pecked me until I did it
Nuala: That's generally how they get their way when they can't talk you into something.
Yaban: they didn't give me a chance! Next time if they want something, tell them to peck Grima and I'll do whatever they want
Nuala: I'll tell them you said that.
Yaban: now, what's your name? *holds out her form, pen in hand*
Nuala: I'm Nuala Woolweaver.
Yaban: *writes it in his flourishing handwriting* I'm gonna ask your sex later, heads up. Job experience?
Nuala: I ran my shop until it was burned down.
Yaban: okay, so seamstress? Tailor? Small business owner?
Nuala: Before that I did much the same in my village. Weaving and the like.
Yaban: Weaver, small business owner, raven herder. Not putting that last one
Nuala: Better not.
Yaban: pretend not to know them if their interview goes badly. Sex?
Nuala: Female.
Yaban: *writes as told* You know they made me fill it out for both of them on one sheet? I wonder what'll happen if only one gets hired
Nuala: I don't doubt they'll be cross about it.
Yaban: would they pretend to be each other? I know one's kinda... bluer than the other and rounder, but don't ask me to tell them apart if they haven't been sitting very still first
Nuala: I don't think they would, because it would mean both of them had worked for the wage of only one. They wouldn't like that.
Yaban: hm, good point. I'm not that up on the behaviour of small ill-tempered birds. Okay, reasons for seeking employment with the guard?
Nuala: My shop burned down and I need to support myself.
Yaban: anything about upholding the law?
Nuala: Well, since certain among the guard seem to think some citizens less worthy of protecting than others, someone ought to see that everyone is treated fairly.
Yaban: *tries to work out how to phrase that* To broaden the diversity of the guard workforce?
Nuala: *nods* Close enough.
Yaban: court speak. Still have it. *writes that down* Okay, reading outloud for you to check it over
Yaban: Name: Nuala Woolweaver
Yaban: Work experience: Weaving, small business owner
Yaban: Sex: Female
Yaban: Reason for seeking employment with the guard: A method of supporting myself and to increase the diversity of the guad.
Nuala: Probably ought to mention I'm handy with a blade.
Nuala: And I can shoot, too.
Yaban: *writes in the work experience* Experienced with archery and bladework.
Nuala: That ought to cover it.
Yaban: *folds it up nicely for her and hands it over* there you go, Nuala. I'll give you reading lessons for free until you've got wages again, okay?
Nuala: *takes it and smiles* That's awful kind.
Yaban: it's a valuable skill to know.
Nuala: I'm getting better at it. I'll be an expert in no time.
Yaban: Your first book soon. *grins*
Nuala: Maybe I'll even write one someday.
Yaban: I'd feel awful proud as your teacher if you did
Nuala: Who knows. It might happen!
Yaban: I'll see you tomorrow for a lesson and good luck getting work as a guard. *thumbs up at her*
Nuala: *thumbs up and gives him a hug* I'll need all the luck I can get.
Yaban: *hugs back* If I had a cricket to give you...
Nuala: *tilts her head* What for?
Yaban: they're lucky. But your ravens would probably eat it
Nuala: Ohh. I bet it would be bad luck if it got eaten.
Yaban: I don't know about their personal luck
Nuala: Well it would be unlucky for the cricket, at any rate.
Nuala: I should be off. Best not waste time.
Yaban: good luck! *packs up his stuff*
Nuala: *grins and heads out with her application in hand*
Yaban: they pecked me until I did it
Nuala: That's generally how they get their way when they can't talk you into something.
