Someone will be picking you up at 1300 hours. Be ready.

Ready for what?

[ EXPLAIN YOURSELF ]

Do I need to wear a shirt?

To purchase the suits you mentioned last time. Kay will be stopping by your residence in the afternoon to take you shopping for them.

Wear a shirt if you want. I expect you'll be seeing those when you arrive at the store, too.

Why is Kay taking me shopping? Anyway I can't afford a suit so suck it up. You wanted to give me a job and you get what you see.

[ Which he will now demonstrate by taking a photo of himself, smiling in a particularly ridiculous way, wearing a Mordor Fun Run t-shirt.

Enjoy. ]

I never implied you were meant to pay for any of it, did I?

[Though he doesn’t write it, the “you dolt” is still strongly implied.]

I should hope you weren’t planning to wear that to your job, Griffiths.

Told you I don't have a suit, what else would I wear.

[ Sort of a toss up really. Would he? Maybe... ]

And I'm not a charity case you don't need to buy me clothes

I told you that your uniform would be taken care of once you were hired.

I'm delivering on that now. Now that you work for me, you have a certain image to uphold.

[ Hmm. Well if it's a uniform... ]

Do I get any say in what I end up with?

You’ll be with Kay won’t you? Unless you have managed to lose your ability to speak since we last met, nothing is keeping you from making your opinions known.

[Though Aeron does get to approve of the choices in the end. He imagines the fuss Emery will kick up and smirks to himself. ]

No and I'm quite good at that. Purple and green joker suit it is then.

[A good five minutes before the reply comes.]

And you wonder why anyone could ever think you suspicious, Griffiths.

You said I could pick!

I also mentioned maintaining an image!

You didn't specify what kind.

I thought even an idiot would have known but apparently I was mistaken.

Sadly I don't read minds. I might be able to learn though. Think your teacher will tell me how?

Hilarious. I didn't hire you for your witticisms, you know.

Maybe you should have. Better at that than being a bodyguard.

Are you still complaining about that? You’re getting a professional instructor out of this. I thought you would be pleased about that at the very least.

I am. It's just... It's strange. All of this.

[ Also a liiiiiiittle bit scary. He's never been responsible for someone's life before!]

[Aeron has to stare at the screen a moment, one finger tapping at his desk as he thinks. He’s not an expert on Griffith’s behaviour, but even he can tell there’s something…off.]

Is the change to your schedule bothering you again or is it something else this time?

It's just you're a huge clotpole and all, don't get me wrong, but I don't want you to die just because I've got no idea what I'm doing. I've never been responsible for anything other than a cat and I think that cat is more responsible for me

[Well isn’t that reassuring? Aeron sighs and types out another response immediately.]

If this is your way of trying to worm out of this, Griffiths, you are going to be sorely disappointed.
