girl you're telling me!!! there used to be a proper bar, but the lady who ran it disappeared like two months after I got here been a tragic state of affairs since in the booze department
okay, well, that's fair I guess I also meant tragic state of booze in canned long islands don't hit like the actual thing, y'know? need someone who knows what they're doing to make one right
you bet I am! I mean long islands are like five drinks in one so what's not to love? but I've been known to kick back some decent scotches mostly because boring old men like it a lot and that was my main clientele for a while
it depended on the client sometimes no, sometimes that's what was necessary I guess I say my job was being arm candy, but my actual job was getting information off those men turns out a lot of them would tell a pretty woman showing them interest a lot of things they shouldn't
oh, it was that kind of job, huh? I'm familiar. done it myself a few times
[Though she was never asked to take it further than pointed flirtation, to which she is very grateful. She's a big fan of being able to select her own partners; anything else she wouldn't have stood for for long.]
well, sure but a friend back home who was a 'self-proclaimed asshole' was also my bodyguard and one of the most loyal, caring people I knew even if he could be an asshole still
well, not directly but you got it there: he had pretty bad self-image probably hard to tell why, honestly, since he was built like a brick shithouse and quiet, kind but he was also a werewolf and that came with a lot of unfortunate stigmas

I was paid to be arm candy for rich older men who wanted a trophy girlfriend, mostly
not the most interesting client base but it had its perks

cw: mentions of sex work
sometimes no, sometimes that's what was necessary

I was surprisingly good at it!
but haven't been in that line of work since arriving here, obviously, so just trying to figure it out

it doesn't mean that's all you are

did he say that was all he was?
or did he have low self-esteem or something?

that's the sound of aggravation
I made a dumb joke, and now you think I'm the kind of person who postures to make up for criminally low self-esteem
I regret everything
no subject
sorry, it's hard to tell over text sometimes!
if it helps, I don't actually think that
I just like yapping

like hell I want to be mistaken for one

no posturing to be seen!
and I'll keep mine to a minimum
