[It was difficult to say whether or not he was no longer welcome in the castle's kitchens but there seemed to be a consensus among its staff that the amount of labor Archer had been putting in without asking for compensation had begun to wear them rather thin.

That much had been what led him to spending the better part of his weeks in a cozy bakery in Bellvine, making bread and sweets and tending shop as a particularly grumpy-looking cashier and barista--occasionally flanked by the stars themselves taken shape. On days she wasn't there? He was forced to fend for himself.]

Customers would be treated to a scowling waiter, routinely being called out to from the back of the shop to 'Remember to smile a little!' and to no avail. Instead, he'd listlessly tap his pencil on a note pad and continue along.]

Please review the menu and let me know what you'd like.

[You know? ...Oddly, the waiter look really suited Archer.]

Hey, Archer! How's it going?

[Yoojin beamed up at him as if he felt he could make up for any smiles Archer lacked.]

New job?

[Whether he was looking around for stalls and small shops by the pier that were selling usable base components for potions or simply trying to find work at a busy time in the city, Archer couldn't go a day without wasting time and fixing something for someone he'd never met.

A kitten stuck on the crane for a trading ship, a dock worker falling in the water after slipping on a patch of ice, an old man struggling to get a crate of supplies in his shop, a street that needed ice cleared or even a fireplace needing its smoke trap fixed--he was interrupting his routine near constantly, complaining for anyone who'd listen about how little people cared to take care of themselves.

It wasn't stopping him from doing any of that, though.]

[ It's kind of hard not to notice a pattern here.

Especially since one of those days he happened upon the man making complaints while clearing ice. He decided to pitch in to help because it just seems strange to stand around while only one individual was working on something that could inconvenience everyone, and he had nothing else to do at this time, anyway. ]

I suppose the more time spent among people, the easier it is to see when they need help.

[ An idle comment, but it seems to him Archer can't help lending people a hand. Where others might just waltz on by. ]
