[Reimu didn't really have much reason to be concerned with the iron shortage because it didn't directly effect her or her work, though it'd probably turn out to be a pain eventually. Her job was to tend to her shrine and keep an eye out for any possible incidents she might need to intervene in as current sole attendant and semi-official Head Priestess of the Hakurei Shrine.

Things had been quiet on that front though, so while she did keep up with patrols, when she wasn't she mostly lazed about the shrine and took care of any chores that needed doing. At present, that meant shoveling snow out of the shrine's courtyard. She'd taken care of the path leading up to the shrine the other day. Ugh, how she hated doing this, but it needed to be done and this one of those things Reimu wasn't really lazy about. She couldn't wait for spring.

Also, she hadn't gotten all that many donations lately, but that was nothing new. This place didn't really get that many visitors other than the old man and a certain childhood friend of hers after all. Though maybe she'd be lucky and someone might come by to drop a few coins in the donation box today.]

It sure is quiet today... [Cold too. Sigh.]

[Reimu snorted and went back to shoveling snow.]

I do help the city. There aren't any big wild pokemon attacks or anything going on right now, are there?

We do need iron though, smartass.

And what do you expect me to do about that?

[She just looks at him a little incredulously.]

I can't exactly conjure an iron mine out of thin air or anything, and I'm not going that far away from the walls in this weather.

[Really, Ezreal? What are you expecting? She might respond quickly enough to an emergency that involves beating things up, or at least the possibility she'd have to beat something up, but when it comes to most other things she's quite lazy.]

You could always help look. Probably pays better than waiting around in this dump hoping someone will give you free money.

"Free Money?" [She paused in her shoveling again and gave him an annoyed look.]

Free money, nothing. You'd think people would have a bit more respect for the gods.

And are they even paying people for this anyway?

You'd probably have more luck if you had a name. Or a picture.

As far as payment, if you know how to leverage it you can probably make some money. That's how we Delvers do it, you get creative.

How many other places actually remember the names of any of the gods or what they looked like? None of them seem to have any trouble getting worshipers.

[And she was pretty sure there aren't very many people who remember anything about the gods. Of course quite a few of them worship the Savior as well as the gods.]

It still sounds like a lot of work.

[And that sounds like Reimu is still skeptical.]

And that aversion to work would be the true reason as to why you're poor.

I do plenty of work. Just not the kind of work that involves wandering around in the wilderness doing other people's jobs.

Funny, I never see you do anything resembling work.

That's probably because you're usually too busy wandering around the Old City collecting junk.

[Yes, junk, Ezreal. It might be really old junk from the old civilization before theirs or whatever, but it was still junk.

She goes back to shoveling snow.]

Edited 2014-01-12 19:58 (UTC)

You don't seem to complain about the junk when it makes your life easier, I've noticed.

And who said I was complaining about anything? [She only pauses long enough to just look at him flatly.]

Why do you even care what I do anyway?
