Jesse made to reject the offer out of hand – c'mon, he wasn't some two-bit performer for hire! He was just doing something nice for the kid! Then he winced and clicked his tongue at the memory of his not having a goddamn penny on him of late. Of course he could earn a decent day's wage doing a mission off the local boards, but he was under-strength and all his intel was years out of date. Best to do the smart thing.
"Y'know what, sure. Ain't got formal pedagogical credentials or nothin', but I know my stuff and I could do with somethin' to allocate my mind to that ain't, uh. Well, y'know how it is."
Yeah. Something regular. Something altogether different than the goddamn box he'd been cooling off in, or the fighting that put him there.
Mercifully, there was food at last, and Jesse set upon it like a starved thing, only remembering several ravening bites into it that he was supposed to be a well-mannered 'mon, or something approximating that. Well, whatever. He was too hungry to care. Half the town thought he'd caught 'going feral' off his wife and kid anyhow.
