dom comes back into town after not being able to afford an inn room for the past month 'i'm running low money, maybe i should get a real job? no no, am i going crazy i'll stop doing odd jobs the day the world ends' they think. as it walks over to the bulletin board in town square, one of the posters catches their eye "IN NEED OF A LAB ASSISTANT. PAYMENT IS NEGOTIABLE."
'hmmm negotiable? sounds like money to me.' they think as they tear the poster off and go to the address listed on the paper.

Ash sighed as she wiped her brow. Most people wouldn't think of alchemy as physical labor but it really depended on the materials that were being used. She didn't mind really, she often found the work rewarding and had a fair amount of pride in her work. But it was getting to the point where the isolation of her work was getting to be a little too much.

She wasn't sure how many people would be interested in her advertisement but she was determined to work it out, one way or another.

standing in front of the lab, dom wasn't really sure what to expect 'well only one way to find out' they thought sighing heavily. they knocked. waited a minute. knocked again then shouted "hey is anyone here? i'm here for the job!"

Ash looked up at the knock and set down her tools. “Calm down. I’m coming.” she called back at the second impatient knock and ended up opening the door in her stained apron and gloves. She almost looked more comparable to a blacksmith than an alchemist. “Yes? Can I help you?”

"oh..um sorry, am i in the wrong place?", dom holds out the poster "do you know where this is? I'm looking for the lab and i think i got turned around." dom says looking up at the girl, she was pretty to say the least, 'woah' they think, then dom starts blushing a little embarrassed.

"oh ok. well, really glad i wasn't lost then" they say stepping inside they were hit by a whirlwind of thoughts, 'wow did i just get invited into a cute girls house? That's good right? wait stop NO bad dom, you were literally hired to be here! hang on is this even a house? do i even know what a lab is? holy crap i don't! is this where I say something?' as they thought this they were growing increasingly redder by the second. "so wha- what exactly am i supposed to do here?" they said trying to hide their face, 'dammit why did i have to start stuttering, that sounded stupid'

“So am I. And I am glad that you answered my advertisement.” Ash smiled. “I wasn't sure if anyone would be interested. Are… Are you alright?” she asked, noticing how quickly the dwarf was getting nervous. “Oh, well… If you are willing to work with me, I could use an extra set of hands with gathering ingredients and processing them. Do you have any experience with alchemy?”

@FanfictionFanatic-The-Elder group

Ash nodded at the answer. “That's alright. Not many people know exactly what it is.” she admitted. “Can you perhaps recognize certain plants? That's something I work with quite a lot to make medical products.”

@IcarusFightsTheSun book

dom lets out a heavy sigh of relief 'at least it isn't common knowledge' it thinks, " yeah i know all about that kind of stuff!" they say excitedly, "what do you need, i know basically everything about the woods." they say proudly

“Dommity. That's a nice name. It's nice to meet you too.” Ash smiled back, holding out her hand before realizing that she was still wearing her gloves. “Oh! I'm sorry.” she giggled and quickly took the protective cloth off.
