A Professional Lyre, Part 1 (art by AmaraBurrger)
As always, fantastic art by 
<<< PREV | FIRST | NEXT >>>
Another day, another job interview. The late morning sun was only moderately visible through the tightly shut blinds in the office.
Remmy sat quietly, hands folded and arms resting on the desk, waiting patiently for the interviewer to say something.
JuPrerre turned a page, going over his work history. She casually nudged a strand of dark auburn hair feathers out of her dark brown eyes, as her brow lifted slightly.
”You’ve worked for a senator,” she commented in a soft pretty voice, and an English accent, “A pretty famous one, at that.”
”Uh yes,” he nodded, “for one and a half terms.”
She cocked an eyebrow at him.
“One and a half?”
”He uh, resigned, before the second term ended.”
”What for?”
”Ah… I’m not at liberty to disclose that.”
JuPrerre snorted.
“Fair enough.”
She eyed him for a moment.
“Is there a particular reason you’re applying here, rather than for another high-profile individual?”
Remmy paused.
“Actually...yeah. That job involved a lot of public meetings, appearances. Lots of cameras. I suppose I prefer things a little quieter.”
She just looked at him.
“I see. So you came to me, looking for something a little more boring.”
Remmy blinked. He let out a nervous laugh.
“I mean….I don’t know if I’d put it like that…”
JuPrerre chuckled, placing his documents back on the desk.
“It’s fine. So, how are you at following orders?”
”You name it, I do it. As long as it’s pertinent to the job. And legal.”
JuPrerre nodded, and looked him in the eye.
“And if it isn’t legal?”
Remmy shrugged, smiling slightly.
“In this business, you learn how to be discreet.”
She rested her hands on the desk, fingers clasped.
“This job will require you be present more or less 24/7.”
”I was expecting that, from the salary and benefits you’re offering.”
JuPrerre smirked at him.
“I think you’ll make a suitable addition to my security detail. How soon can you start?”
“How soon do you need me?”
”I would prefer immediately.”
“That works for me.”
JuPrerre placed a contract and a pen on the desk, and slid them towards him. Remmy reached for it, but she kept a claw gently pressed onto the contract.
“Before you sign anything, you should understand; I tend to keep my retinue under my employ until such a time that I no longer desire their services, or until they’re dead.”
Remmy blinked.
“Uh. Okay? That’s fine.”
She lifted her hand, allowing him to take a proper look at the contract. Remmy glanced it over, mostly to double check for the benefits she’d offered. It all seemed to be there. Finally, he signed his name on the bottom.
JuPrerre smiled wide at him.
"And with that, the pact is sealed."
