Now We Have Problems

{ Laurent }

Life in Tallahide is... curious. As the weeks go by, I find a rhythm that works for me.

I spend a few hours in the cafeteria eating breakfast and working on school assignments, then get off my butt to go eat at one of the restaurants near my building and then I head back to my apartment to do nothing for the rest of the day, unless Christian calls me.

Christian became my friend, or 'mentor' as he calls himself. He's even trying to give me a job, but I'm still not too sure about it. He wants me to be his 'second in command', which means I would have to run around the clan doing the jobs he doesn't want to do and playing the political game that people in my family like to play. But I don't.

Besides, it's not like I need a job, so I've been putting that off. That and his invitations to be part of the ‘pack runs’. It's something we do in our clan too, but I've never been to one because I just turned eighteen. I want my first clan run to be in my own clan, not here.
