Entering through the main entrance of Soothing Waters, Faelia glanced from side to side anxiously, watching as the the customers came and went, laughing and talking. The Kelvic reached her hand instinctively into her pocket, fingering the gold coins she had hidden in there. For just a moment, she considered changing her mind. That was, changing her mind of finding a job at the area. Not long ago, she had just visited the Employment Office, and they had assigned her to a position of healing assistant at the facilities at Soothing Waters. It had all seemed great, until now.
To be honest, Faelia was a little more on the quiet side. She could express herself if she wanted, and she certainly wouldn't let others trample over her. But she didn't always prefer to work in such a crowded area where it was always so loud, like it was here.
Her eyes darted to the receptionist, who was taking the gold coins of the customers and directing them to one room or the other, depending on how much they had paid. She had enough right now to afford something. For a moment, she was quite tempted to go take a bath herself. That way, she could put off having to work for a little longer. But then she shook her head. Either way, she still knew that her family was in desperate need of money. They needed whatever she could get, and wasting a gold coin on a luxury bath wasn't going to help them with anything. Well. Let's just hope that the employed assistant healers get to work in places a tad bit quieter, she thought to herself.
Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward to the nearest employee. "Excuse me," she called, keeping her tone polite. "The Employment Office has just assigned me to a position here at Soothing Waters. I was wondering when I would be able to start, or if I could start learning the basics right now."
