The Photo Hut; Monday [10/03].
There wasn't really a whole lot that needed doing around the Photo Hut that Monday (or most Mondays, really). Just a few new things coming in and Prompto taking care of putting those where they needed to go, especially the heavier stuff that he wouldn't want to leave for Liz to handle, and that was fine. It was definitely still kind of an adjustment, getting used to the much slower paced and less, you know, life-threatening day-to-day here on the island, but it was nice. Peaceful. And the extent of activity going on with Prompto's phone right now made up for the lack of activity going on in the store.
He was leaning with his elbows on the counter as he poured over various texts and responses, mostly with Summer, because he'd been thinking about something a lot, which only solidified in his brain as he was working that morning. And, of course, what started out as him asking her about potentially picking up a job there blew up into all sorts of other things, mostly about Gladio being back and what that meant for Ignis, and also at least one threat not to hire him unless he shaved off his beard, which Prompto pointed out was discrimination and he'd sue, and she said she'd like to see him try, and then he asked if this was all because of him, and that shut her up about that real quickly.
And when he wasn't texting Summer, he was texting Gladio, mostly links to the weather reports that said they might be in for some rain this week, so maybe he shouldn't be camping in the preserve when there was a perfectly good couch at their place, and Gladio insisting it was fine and Prompto rolling his eyes a lot and somehow managing to agree to meet him for fishing at some point.
And when he wasn't doing either of those things, he was making at least a few more attempts to get a call through to Iggy. Nothing, though, of course, but after talking with Summer, he realized he should probably just try again in two weeks...
The Photo Hut is open!

“Oh?” Liz hadn’t been expecting that, “what kind of job?” she bit her lip, “do you not want to work here anymore?”
She was a little worried at that, maybe he didn’t want to keep working with her.

He gave her a faint smile, another kiss on her hand before his other one moved up to join them, wrapping hers up between both of his.
"Unfortunately, there's not really a market for ex-daemon hunters and failed Crownsguards around here. But I want to start looking into selling some of my work, stock photography if anything, maybe eventually some read gigs, and I can start teaching again in the spring, but, until then....
"I've been talking with Summer, about starting over at T&C. Het some income in, and, better yet, employee discount. Everything we'll need coming up, we can just get from there, that discount can really go a long way, you know?"

"I ... Professor Broom has offered to help, well more than he has already with the store," Liz told him softly, "but I ...it's a lot," she nodded, "and I understand ... I've been trying to put away as much money as I can," she added, "I have some savings before I moved to Fandom, but they won't last much with everything we need to raise our child,"
She paused, "when do you start your new job?"

She had been learning how to make new recipes but her skills definitely needed a lot of work since the only thing she knew for certain how to make was a cake.

To be fair, though, Turtle & Canary definitely got way more traffic and steady business than the Photo Hut.

Liz's smile widened, "I know you will be wonderful," she told him, "and it will be a well deserved break," she added.
