Hey. Know anywhere that would hire a sub whose only experience is in firearms and being a janitor? You seem like a social butterfly who would know.

[cicatrize]

There are plenty of places needing janitors, and primarily subs that fill those spots, but the thought if you trudging around in a jumpsuit with a mop is just so sad.

You might be able to find work as security, but a sub in an authoritative position? You'd need the Dom hiring to be damn fond of you.

[skaikrudad]

[ Yeah, it was pathetic enough the first time round. ]

Great. So I'm screwed.

[ He's gonna go crazy if he spends another month here without a purpose. ]

Thanks for your input.

[cicatrize]

I didn't say you were screwed.

Can you pretend to know how to file papers and use a copy machine?

[skaikrudad]

I know. I'm saying it.

Is there a clue in the name as to what a copy machine does?

[cicatrize]

There is. Put the paper on the glass, hit the big green button. Copy.

I ask because Rafa's going to know exactly how full of shit I am when I tell him I've hired you as "security secretary", and will probably want you doing slightly more than standing around, looking pretty, and fulfilling my amusement in having a sub with a gun watching doms getting silently indignant.

[skaikrudad]

[ With a healthy dose of sarcasm: ] I'll write that down.

You're really offering me a job you've just made up?

I don't actually have a gun here... Could you get me one? [ You don't ask for much, do you Bellamy? ]

[cicatrize]

I'm doing exactly that. [ the 'i'm prince, i do what i want' habit is hard to break ]

There's one in my office you're welcome to take charge of. It's there should Rafa end up getting trouble from any over zealous Dominants throwing a fit while I'm not around, but that'll be your job, now.

[ ignore the part where Jack's trained special forces and Rafa's a vampire. Bellamy needs a job. ]

[skaikrudad]

[ It's not the job he pictured having here, but he can't afford to be fussy, and it's still better than being a janitor. And he gets to handle a gun. ]

I owe you for this.

Couple more questions. Do I have to call you 'sir'? And what's the dress code?

[cicatrize]

You didn't ask me to do it and it costs me nothing, so no, you don't owe me anything.

Business casual, or at least something that makes you look like respectable security.If your Dom can't pay for work clothes, let me know.

[skaikrudad]

I've got a suit a Dom bought me for that ship we were required to dress smartly aboard, but I'll ask Emma to buy me some more clothes.

I appreciate your help. You've saved me from working somewhere ridiculous, like that cat cafe.

[cicatrize]

You don’t have to go full formalwear. Slacks and a decent shirt. It’ll be fine.

Oh, but cat cafe? Now I want to take it back.

[skaikrudad]

Too late now. You're stuck with me.
