Today wasn't so bad because right now, you were hanging with your ruffians. This is when you meet Hook Foot and he was nice even though he was slightly quiet sometimes. It was peaceful as Big Nose, Ulf, Hook Foot, Shorty played cards.

You sat on a barrel, watching them, but a few minutes ago Eugene had come in. He paced back and forth, complaining about Cassandra.

“She acts like I'm too good at lying, cheating, and stealing. Which in fairness, I am good at.” He says proudly.

The guys hum in thought and Eugene seems hurt, “So you guys agree with Cassandra?”

You didn't want to get caught up in this, especially when you wanted to relax with your ruffians.

“No, no, no. We don't agree with her. We've simply arrived at a...well….um...nearly identical assessment is all.” Big Nose says sheepishly.

“Ooooh, okay, okay. I see how it is. You know, I am capable of being more than a handsome devil, may care, rouge.” Eugene points, “In fact, I can be a handsome devil, may care, anything I want.” He thinks and smirks, “Maybe, I'll just have to find a way to prove it.”

“Boys, Eugene Fitzherbert is going to find a new colleague.” You notice the guys went back to playing cards and you felt bad for Eugene.

“Does anyone in this kingdom have an attention span, come on! (____)! I need your help.”

You mentally groan, but follow Eugene out, “So basically, you want to find a job you're good at?”

“Yes.”

“Did Cass say something that you're determined to prove her wrong?”

“Yes.”

The two of you are in town now and you roll your eyes, “Alright.” You pull him to a news board, “If you want my help…”

Eugene looks at all the jobs. “....then here are your options.”

“Okay! Now to prove to Cassandra that I can be more than a thief.” Eugene takes a flyer.

You tilt your head, “But being a thief is what makes you…..YOU.”

Eugene walks off and you sigh, following him again to Baker’s Shop. You waited outside and not 30 minutes later, smoke comes out of the window and Eugene walks out in a pout.

“He said bake a pie for 300 degrees for an hour, so to save time, I put it in for 600 degrees for half an hour. Come on! Its math!”

Your look at him weirdly, “Eugene. Math doesn't work like that for baking.”

“Whatever.”

Another flyer is pulled off by Eugene and it read Cab Driver. “This seems easy enough.” You say, smiling.

A fancy carriage and a horse is given to Eugene after applying and you sit next to him. Going down the road, an elderly woman waves and Eugene stops.

He was doing amazing and being a gentleman, helping the old woman into the carriage. “Thank you.” She gets comfy.

“Heya!!” Eugene yells.

You yell, clinging to the seat as the horse takes off at full speed. Maybe you were wrong about Eugene doing amazing.

“Record time!”

Somehow, you end up in front of Varian’s house. You don't think Eugene knows where he was suppose to go because he didn't ask the old woman.
