little run-ins // caesar + maribelle
❧❧『 As Maribelle put his jacket on, he couldn’t help but let his mind drift for a moment because she looked so cute. He found himself grinning without realizing, and her voice brought him out of his thoughts again. A job interview? Well damn, what were they doing just standing around? He should immediately get them on their way if she was running late for something as important as that.
”Nevermind about the shirt right now, signora," Caesar chirped, grabbing the small woman by the wrist. "You were heading this way, right? Let’s go!" He began to speed-walk in the opposite direction he had previously been going in, dragging poor Maribelle along after him. He didn’t walk too fast, though, because the height difference would surely mean her little legs couldn’t keep up.
”What kinda job is it?" asked Caesar, looking back and down to her, blinking curiously. 』
Maribelle gasped as she was suddenly tugged along. She had to go at a bit of a jog to keep up, cursing the fact that she was so small, and it wasn’t able to move as quickly. Taking a moment for her breath, she replied, looking up at him.
“Well the official title is Administrative Clerk. But it’s more of a… secretarial position as it were.” Either way, she wasn’t really in a position to be very picky about her job options. She was more than grateful for the opportunity to provide for her son, and that was what mattered.
Using her free hand, she hiked her purse up higher on her shoulder, but didn’t make a move to try being released. Honestly, she was probably moving quicker with him now that he was making her go that much faster.
“And just where were you on your way to before you decided to join me?” She didn’t imagine that it was very important if he was just willing to drop it like that, but she supposed it was polite asking.
