Imperial Brim [Wednesday, Cinco de Mayo]

Jack was behidn the counter for the start of his shift. Not even the mariachi music could lift up his spirits.

He was wearing his mortarboard (but not the gown), anxious as to what would would be happening with his life now that he had graduated.


He was also eyeing the "Now Hiring" sign and wondering if he should put that up in the window.

The mariachi music gave Irulan pause, then smiled.

"Hello, Jack," Irulan greeted. "And, I believe, congratulations are in order?"

"Hello, ma'am," he said, feeling like he should salute or something. "And yes. I'm a high school graduate." That last came out around a bright grin.

Irulan smiled, "How very wonderful, will you be leaving the island soon, Jack?"

"Well, there's a backpack trip I want to take for the spring, here, but...soon."

Next week, actually.

"Then this would be your last time in this shop?" She was happy for Jack but it reminded her very much of Leto leaving.

"I...I'm afraid so. For a while, at least." He wasn't happy about leaving.

"For a while?" Irulan inquired, confused.

"Well, there's a backpack trip planned, and then after that...I guess this is my last shift here." He was surprised he did not realize it sooner.

"I guess it seems so.." Irulan trailed off and then smiled. "Good luck, Jack. You're always welcome here."

"Same here. Of course, my digs won't be as glamorous as all this," he said, gesturing to the shop with a smile, "but if you're ever passing through...yeah. You've been a good boss, and I like this place. I hope you find somene to fill my shoes quickly."
