Stepping a cautious foot into the magnificently decorative building, the widower eyed the elegant and lavish pieces all throughout the room. With mouth slightly agape, his eyes skimmed the walls and ceiling as if it was the first time he's ever seen fancy decor.
The blonde limped slightly on his way, passing by one of the red velvet chairs, his fingers running along the plush fabric. His blue eyes ran along the dark, elegant wood all the way down it's legs. And the carpet and rugs weren't any less spectacular.
Gale could appreciate the fancy surroundings, but he couldn't help but wonder why it was more important than using the money they spent on the furniture to use for the betterment of the city, like repairing the University or feeding the people.
"
Ahem."
Gale flinched and looked at the man behind his desk who had been staring at him since he walked in. Apparently he had missed his short greeting. "
How may we help you today?"
"
Oh- um-" Gale quickened his staggered pace until he got to the luxurious desk. "
I would like to apply for a job?" He said in a fairly nervous manner. He felt as if his baritone voice would shatter the room with how it appeared to echo. Was it just him that heard it?
"
Ah, yes." The man gave a single nod, scrambling across his desk to grab a slip of paper. "
Just fill this out." Gale nodded with a mumbled thank you before taking a seat at one of the comfortable chairs. But he sat on the arm of the chair, glancing around to look for a Quill and Ink.
There was one on the table, in which Gale slid to the edge so he could more easily use it. Dipping the tip in the black liquid, Gale started to fill his application. Holding it with two fingers, Gale fumbled to try and position the feather without it slipping . He eventually held it tight enough to make sure it wouldn't move.

Gale looked back over the application to make sure everything was correct, but frowned. Penmanship was never his strong suit, but writing with two fingers was a lot harder than it looked. He sighed, crossing out the words that were so sloppy it was hardly readable. He was about to rewrite it, but then glanced at his right hand.
After some debate with himself, he switched the quill over, dipping it in ink once more, and rewrote the application to a more legible state.
He looked it over again. Well, it was readable now. He'll have to work on that.
Standing up from the arm of the chair, returning the quill to the ink, he slowly limped his way back to the man, offering the application to the man. "
Sorry for the crossed out spaces." He gave a nervous chuckle.
He was never going to get this job.
