Especially with winter upon us so suddenly, I find myself with little to keep me busy. The people here are kind enough, especially now that they seem content with the flowers I give them and aren't trying to poke me in the eye or pull my hair anymore, but playing the kind benefactor isn't exactly a role I'm suited to.

Has anyone given any thought to running a business? Ruling a town? Anything that might require a clerk or a secretary? There is no paper on my desk save for that I've chosen to put there myself and I'm quite out of my element.

[Interest peaked... But, skeptical. Maybe a few questions before he posits this to Elle.]

Depends. What's the going rate for a clerk or secretary?

I will not require payment. I produce enough on my own to pay for whatever I might need.

[And he means that literally. He's been hesitant to comb his hair in the mornings for fear of how many gems will fall out.]

[This is too good to be true... But, Kiri isn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth. A simple map is doodled with directions to L&F Tailoring.]

That is great! We own a small business. Could use some help crunching numbers if you are interested.

I'm fielding another offer as well, but I'm sure I can find a way to help you out. So you're a tailor, then? Have you taken on much work yet?
