Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Then I'll go right to it. I'll deliver first the roses, the sooner they are delivered the better, carrying them around could only end in damaging such beautiful flowers. The cold medicine... you wnat it in packed dosis or pills, or in bottled syrup?" he said, cleaning his dish as well after eating.
Then he got the money Shinji's mother handed him for the errands and the roses bouquet he was to deliver.

He waved them good bye with a warm smile, set the things for those who woke up a bit later ho have breakfast and then left as well.

The fishmonger was so happy with the roses and gave him warm regards for Shinji's mom. Then he went to the chemist's and bought the cold medicines and the last thing he got was the clothes from the dry cleaner.
He went home and found a note thanking for the breakfast.
He fixed some quick lunch for him and headed to work. He was a bit nervous about it and managed to get there on time, early in fact.

"good afternoom master Ji, I'm in your care, I'll work hard, so I'm eager to work and earn my salary" he said politely with a wide smile he meant from the heart.

"Of course I can" he said with a smile walking to the boxes full of already price-tagged books.
"Do you wish me to put the oldest ones in front if there are various of the same title?" he asked picking up quite a large quantity of books and started sorting them alphabetically.
His hands worked fast and he had quite the good memory.

Master Ji noded at his question and he put himself to work happily whistling.

Zylver worked hard all his shift, sorting the books as he was told to do and moving older ones to the front racks. While he did that, he dusted the books and shelves gently. He also helped ocasional clients to get to the books they requested if they were up on the shelves.
By the end of his shift he had sorted more than the half of the books as well as memorizing the distribution of the shop and the racks and shelves he had already went through.
His hands were a little dusty by then and he had got some cuts on the fingers, paper is traitor like that sometimes and cuts sharper than a knife, but he had already healed and no mark remained.
He helper master Ji close the door, pulling down the shutter of the gate for him.

"Same here master Ji. for me, is nice to be working and being useful to people once again after such a long time. Rest well tonight boss!"
Zylver shook his boss' hand and headed out to Shinji's place... his home.
The thing he most wanted now was a shower and a warm meal.... and... well.. some of Shinji's kisses. He blushed at that thought and walked home with a happy smile.

"It was great, I worked a lot and master Ji seemed really happy with me there.... hmmm! you nicely smell of curry... it gives me the crave of biting you"
He laughed and got inside.
"I'll return the hug later.. let me wash my hands at least, I'm a little bit covered in dust from the books... specially the hands." Zylver smiled, heading to the kitchen where he got his hands washed and then gently caressed Shinji.

"Do I have time for a quick shower before diner?"

"Then better go fast fast fast!"
He said that and hurried upstairs after winking to Shinji.
Shinji was a really good cook, and Zylver loved that dish called curry, it was so spicy and warm and could have lots of different flavours depending on the mix of species.
He took a fast shower. He was not dirty, only dust in his hair and a little sweat.
He put on the clothes he used to wear around home and went downstairs barefooted. He liked to feel the wood and the stone on his feet.

He was there in time to help put the servings on the table.

Like this.. he simply felt he had found finally his rightful place, his home... and hot only his home, but a family.
They ate and talked about how the day had been, as usually, and the girls had lots of questions for him about his new job, if it was difficult, if he had to work a lot and so.
He explained with a wide smile, and ate quite a lot, he LOVED curry and today's was just delicious, more than ever.
