Alright. Hadriel Think-Tank Time!

In the spirit of being bored I am looking for a job/vocation/calling/etc

Must interesting. Must be blind people friendly. 

It'd also be a nice bonus if I could actually be useful around here

If you're the right person...and...I think you are...I'm pretty sure I live next to your girlfriend. And I've got nothing but time, buddy.

[claritatis]

... Ah.

[Of course that would be where he lived. Now, how to get there without Kate seeing him and wondering just what he's doing that isn't visiting her? He's overthinking it - there's no reason for her to coincidentally appear, and...

And this is something he should talk about with her, eventually. He's been avoiding it, just as he's been avoiding discussing it with Noctis.]

In that case, I shall be with you presently.

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

You want me to make coffee or something?

[He may not have guests over often or like...at all.... but that doesn't mean he has to be a bad host.]

[claritatis]

Ah... no, thank you.

[A hard pass on the coffee. There's only so much of it he can take at once, and that's just enough to keep the headaches at bay. Best taken in the mornings, before he's woken up enough to properly register how vile it is.

Pardon him, he's a snob about his coffee.]

I'll be by shortly.

[And he is, gently knocking on the door so as not to draw any unwanted attention. He watches Kate's door while he waits, still not knowing when he's going to tell her about any of this.]

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

[It's about a minute before Whistler fumbles with the latch and gets the door open. He's picked up on the cue from the quiet knock and silently gestures for Ignis to come in in place of a verbal greeting. Whistler may enjoy teasing people 99% of the time, but he doesn't find anything funny about the possibility of spilling the beans on something this important to a guy's girlfriend before the guy is ready.

As such he only speaks when he's shut the door again and is careful to modulate his voice accordingly]

So, uh...what did you want to know first?

[claritatis]

[Maybe he should have told her first. Perhaps this is something that one discusses with one's friends and loved ones before approaching a near-stranger for help. Perhaps it is, but he can barely speak of it with Noctis - how can he look Kate in the face and tell her about something like this?

There's no way to rehearse it. He knows her well, but for this, he can't judge how she's going to react. Overthinking can sometimes be a benefit but in this, everything leads him around to the thought that he doesn't want to lose her.]

I... admit I hadn't thought that far ahead. [He replies with a sigh, keeping his voice equally quiet. For anyone who knows him, that lack of forethought is a strange thing indeed.] How you navigate the phone would be a place to start.
