Etienne had recently been at the blood bank, or well, that’s how he’d like to call it since he gave up blood and in return he got credits to spend things on. Though it wasn’t enough for Etienne, it never really was. For the past two years he had lived a life of luxury by the side of a vampire and frankly had gotten very spoiled during that time so now a few credits that barely were enough for him to go around simply did not cut it. He needed a job, and as he strolled down the streets of Uptown his eyes gazed along the different shops and restaurants. He knew he had to get in there and apply for one job but he sort of hoped that they could at least put out a sign where it said: HIRING with big capital letters so he didn’t have to feel insecure about which place he should take.
The marbled eyes that shifted due to direct sunlight or being in the shadow changed to various greens and blues hues as they were roaming around the shops. He remembered the first time he had walked down these streets two years ago and the memory was almost hunting to remember. People had stared oddly at him, not that he was odd in general, he was a fine looking man, probably above average if he could say it himself. But they had stared due to the fact that he had been from Haven and really showed it, now he was clean and more citizenized than anything. He blended in.
He was unfocused, he tried to read signs but the fact was that he wasn’t that good at reading either. Though he could read with minor problems, it still went slow and even slower as his brain was screaming for pain. Making it even harder to focus at all. For the moment he had to do with pressing down his nails at the wrist hard enough to leave marks behind. Not enough to draw blood as he would’ve preferred but it had to do. It made him shiver as his mind wasn’t obsessing anymore and he could continue his search for a job. As the sunlight hit against his skin he stared up at the heavens, there were a few clouds passing by. Perhaps he should come back during the night, the best jobs seemed to be during the night, or not the best but those who paid well, that the vampires owned.
