It's just on a trial basis. I made some examples for her and she liked my work so she said I could freelance with some projects she can't get to, for a percentage. If it goes well, we'll see from there.
[ Jayce is actually decent at business, he comes from a family of businessmen and workers, technically. The Talis house have been selling their wares for generations now so it comes pretty easily to him, and he likes working with his hands. It might give an explanation for why he is muscular despite being a scientist, working in a forge is dirty and arduous and he's good at it. ]
The good part is I was able to make him a new cane, I can't believe the one he's had to deal with for two months.
[ Viktor had a decent one before meeting Jayce, but Jayce designed Viktor's new braces and cane after their partnership, and he immediately got to work on replicating a version of them here. He doesn't mention the braces as Viktor tends to keep those private under his clothes. He had to get right to work so they could get a new apartment, their funds together will help with that, and now he might have a good reason to insist on a new work space too.
He immediately looks troubled at that information, trying to wrack his brain for why Viktor would work with someone advocating for aggression. If he was desperate to get the funds to start on his work, maybe he thought it could be temporary and would be fine, he always thinks he has everything under control. Jayce lips are pressed firmly together in a straight line. ]
Well if someone needs to say no, I can be the bad guy. I'm sure Viktor's intentions were good, they always are, but I don't want someone taking advantage of him ... or us.
