Speaking of progress, what the hell would he do now? He didn’t want to continue doing the small errands that had become just second nature to him, he actually needed to.. improve, right? He needed to do more, to do more difficult things, for longer. A man needs challenges, things that will push him, that will challenge him. Through strife is how one improves, through struggle can one rise above his own limitations. He sure as shit would NEVER break his limits by carrying glass vials around or feeding fish. Fun as it was and surprisingly therapeutic, it wasn’t the type of struggle that would continue to work towards his rise.
So what then? He couldn’t be still forever while thinking about working hard. He actually needed to work, or he’d become like those weird fucks who panic about not doing things, while panicking too hard to do those things. Only to continue panicking about not doing things, rinse and repeat, ad nauseum, ad vomitoreum. Pretty sure that’s not how one says vomit in latin. ..Funny. What’s Latin?
Before he devolved into progressively worsening existential questions, the big hobo heard the effeminate whining of a desperate bitch. Going by the fact that it still belonged to a guy, he figured it’d probably be a rune knight. And so the stars aligned, he was completely correct! A kid who looked absolutely desperate. Desperate enough to go straight to the first big guy he saw, which ended up being the slightly well known hobo.
The request was.. surprisingly simple. Shitass superiors had called him back to the office but left no one to sub for him and watch the streets, displaying a wonderful level of incompetence that only the rune knights could pull off. Just for that, he knew that the kid was legit. So, after he made sure that the kid promised him a fat reward for taking over his job, he let him run off to listen to some random bureaucratic minging from superiors who just couldn’t get the sticks out their ass. Left alone, the hobo, who didn’t have to obey anyone, just sat down by a spot where he could watch everything just fine and.. watched. He was patient, he didn’t mind.
