( video | un: duckling )
[ the feed comes on by itself. ahiru hasn't realized she's turned it on as she's pouring over these pamphlets intently, talking out loud because that's just how she functions. ]
Okay, so to get food, I need to make money. To make money, I need a job . . . What do they have?
[ she looks over the first pamphlet. ]
Healer! That doesn't sound so bad! Something something . . . "mini . . . ministration . . ." Blood? Eugh, no.
[ she tosses that one aside. ]
Next one . . . Hunter.
[ a beat. she stares at it. it stares back at her as if it knows her secret. she immediately scrunches it up, tossing into the trash can because she's not an animal.
( just a bird. that people may hunt?? duck confit is a thing. ) ]
This one! This'll be the one! Arcane scholars . . . "They either wish to consume all the knowledge they can or share all the knowledge that they can." . . .
[ another beat. she sighs. ]
Well, I'm not smart enough to be one of those. Aaaah! I'm never going to get a job! I'm going to starve! I'll never be able to have bread agaaaaain.
[ doom is clearly at hand. ]

[ she feels that applies more to people than . . . ducks. ]
I'd be happy to help! . . . What should I help with?

Well, laundry is a pain in the butt, for one thing. Think you can fetch me the boys' dirty linens? I have to give them a wash today. After that, I can show you how to make their breakfasts.
Um, but let me handle Luca's. His is...special.
Also, I guess I thought this goes without saying but...you know I'd feed you, right?
1/2
You would?
2/2
I mean, of course you would because you're super nice but I can't just take food for free, I mean I could but I shouldn't and I should contribute too except I don't know how to contribute yet . . .
Re: 2/2
Ahiru, don't worry about it! You were brought here against your will and are just trying to make do. For now, just try to get settled in and used to all the people in the house!
no subject
But I can help as well. Just let me know how.
no subject
Truthfully, I might be looking into getting a job myself, for kind of the same reasons. I don't have to work technically, but I want to. I'd feel wrong NOT working.

Why would you ever think you're useless? No one's actually said that to you, have they?
[If they have, Luz was going to have some sharp words for them]!

[ it's just ahiru being down on herself. everyone here is special. unique.
ahiru is . . . not. she's just a duck. ]
