Hey.

I have something I've been wanting to run by you.

[aeva]

What is it?

[chasedshadows]

Someone from Subversion is starting his own club.

I'm considering auditioning for a job.

[aeva]

Auditioning? What is the job?

[chasedshadows]

Dancer.

There's a method to my madness, I swear.

[aeva]

I'm assuming from that statement it's not ballet.

[chasedshadows]

I don't have enough grace for ballet.

And I doubt there's a market for it here.

[aeva]

Then you'll have to fill me in.

( on the plan. she's pretty sure she knows the kind of dancing it'll be )

[chasedshadows]

This isn't what I thought I'd be doing. At all. Ever.

But I can't lose sight of this program and the demands they make of us. If I'm going to be put in situations that are outside of my comfort zone, I'd like to do that on my own terms as much as possible. Maybe that'll make it feel more real.

[aeva]

Okay.

One question though: have you danced before? Even privately for someone.

[chasedshadows]

Because I wanted to? Yes. In a situation like this? No.

But I have a routine for auditions.

[aeva]

Well, preparation helps. And experience.

( not that she's ever done anything like this before )

Have you contacted them for one yet?

[chasedshadows]

I did. I've talked to Bellamy before.

He has a good reputation around here. Seems like he's looking to build a team and do it safely.

[aeva]

That's good. Let me know how it goes and if there's anything you need.

[chasedshadows]

I will.

I also know someone who's considering working there part-time in security. He's a friend.

[aeva]

Can I ask who?

[chasedshadows]

His name's Jon Snow.

[aeva]

I haven't met him but it would be good to have a friend there.
I do know Bellamy. He'll look out for you.

[chasedshadows]

I thought so, too.
I can look out for myself.

[aeva]

I know you can but having someone else doesn't hurt. Someone you can trust if you need to.

[chasedshadows]

Let's just hope I don't need it that much.

[aeva]

I hope you don't either.

I'll make sure to never visit when you're working.

[chasedshadows]

I think that might be for the best.

No offense.

[aeva]

Is there anything you need me to do as your dominant in getting the job? I don't know if I need to.

[chasedshadows]

I haven't heard of anything so far.

It's probably one of the ways the city likes to surprise us. Everything will be fine and then I'll be arrested for taking a better paying job.
