"Um... I'm not picky about an interview time. I want you all to be okay with it, and of course I want them to be here too, so I know how they see me." It was maybe a bland answer, but it was all that he had at the moment. "I appreciate the extra information too, as I want to be able to get to know them if, you decide you like me." Karic smiled, feeling a bit nervous. "Well I go to school so, that can sometimes be a barrier for babysitting. I could go there before and after school. I also have a part-time job which is Monday, Saturday and Sunday nights, depending on how busy it is."
The Only Way To The Heart
- Thread starter Claire
- Start date
Remi listened to his explanation of his availability and thought quietly about how to work it out. "Okay, I got an idea. Throughout the week you babysit them, but only after school, or in the case of your job, before you leave out for work. I'm open to you having to call out for something or changing your schedules. As long as you do it early enough so we can find someone else to take care of the two. We can just see how this schedule works out, okay? By the way, do you have any place you can babysit them? If your home is unavailable the park or woods will do."
"That sounds good!" He tried to keep his happiness to a minimum as he didn't want to make himself look desperate. "I will make sure to tell you in advance if that ever comes up, yes I will!" The next question kind of took him for a loop. "Well, I don't know about that. Um well, I don't think that the dorms would be a suitable place for them so... A more public place would have to do until I get a house for my own, sorry."
"Open areas are better for Arjean anyways. When my family is out of the house you-... No, that won't work. Ignore that. Anyways, the park or the woods should do fine, but they like the explore places a lot so there's a good chance they'll try leading you elsewhere. Anyways, when's the earliest you can start? Also, how much would you like to be paid?"
She found it a bit worrying how nervous he seemed to be, but honestly, everyone was nervous when signing up for a job. Especially one all about taking care of sentient creatures, like kids or animals. For now though, she was more worried about Arjean or Junchi speaking about personal stuff that would get their families into trouble. Maybe if he hears he won't do anything about it. Hopefully...

"Open areas yes. I mean I want them to explore but, to do go far enough away that I can't see them. I don't want to be, responsible for seeing any harm come to them. I guess, my end goal is for them to see me as a big brother more than anything." Karic nodded, wanting to take it all in. "Well I can start um... Tonight if you need me to. Do you want my number just encase?" The money aspect was something he wasn't sure about. "Whatever you think is fair. I wouldn't be doing it for the money, as I want them both to have a memorable childhood."
Remi found it strange how nice he was being. She wasn't sure if this was an attempt at getting extra pay for a good first impression, if he was creep, or if he was genuinely a good guy. She had no reason to see him as a creep though, and not everyone had bad intentions when dealing with kids.
"How about twenty dollars an hour sounds good for starting, and yeah, tonight at the park would be great. You already have my phone number on the flier, and yes, I'd like to know your number." She sat Arjean down on the ground so they could play with Junchi, then pulled out a pencil and used the back of one of her fliers for writing down his phone number. "I'm ready."

His head nodded in agreement, as he was more than okay with that price. That was good, more than he was making with his other job. "Oh thank you! Okay!" He said before taking the paper and pencil and writing his dorm number, phone number and his other job's number, just encase. "My bosses name is D'Emerius, if you ever need me while I'm there. He's really chill about pretty much everything." Karic smiled, before giving back the paper. "Thank you for this, I won't let you down, or them."
Remi looked back at the kids to see how they responded to the news, but all she saw was Arjean giving the boy a fearful glare, and Junchi just looked bored and kept trying to get Arjean's attention. She let out a small sigh, not surprised by their behavior. Arjean will get used to it eventually, and Junchi will enjoy being difficult for him.
She looked back at him and took the paper, folded it, then stuffed it into her pocket before zipping it up. "No problem," she responded as she picked up Arjean and Junchi to take them back to their homes. She had to be sure to make sure everything would go just right for their first time being babysat by a stranger, and though she would've preferred someone familiar it wasn't that easy.
Then Remi remembered something that made her feel like an idiot. "I don't think I ever asked for your name... Did I? Well, whatever. I'm Remi." She didn't think she needed to introduce herself considering her name and number was on the paper, but she guessed it was a politeness thing she had to do. She was still stupid for not asking for his name earlier.

He looked at the children, then back at Remi. There was a lot of nervousness that was flowing through him in those moments. Not that there was a lot on the line, but there was a sense of accomplishment that he felt with taking on this job. He needed to prove to himself and his coworkers that he was able to take care of others. Karic only nodded as she took the paper and seemed as though she was leaving. He perked up a bit when she asked for his name, feeling stupid that they hadn't exchanged the most basic of info. "Karic Theron is my name miss." He smiled, wondering if that was all that she was going to ask.
"That's all I have left," she responded, ready to leave. "I'll be waiting at six, butdon't rush yourself, just be there by seven or so. Goodbye." Then she began walking off, confident that she said all she needed to. She had a small worry that the time she put down was too early to be night for others, but it wasn't like she had anywhere else to go. Her plan was to stay with the babysitter while he got to know the kids, and she would stand off to the side being busy. That should give Karic enough time and space to know those he was dealing with, but if anything got too hard for him she could come in and calm things down. If he didn't show, or showed up too late, the kids got to have fun and would be too tired to do anything else but sleep.
