Chishio was maneuvering and traveling through her family's home in search of the man who had been hired to do housework that day.
She currently lived at the Golden Dawn base and although she felt herself slowly coming to ease at her new home and occupation her instincts told her to go home that day. Her father and mother, now gone, it'd only left for some of her distant relatives there. She was close to some and some not so much. That's how it was with all family. We didn't like them all, but we didn't dislike like them all either.
She told her family after receiving a notice that they needed to fix a leaky roof. So, Chishio searched for someone to come to her home. She look at wandering citizens and would locate someone and request via letter to reach her home for some roof leakage. He was a male and during times like these, men were the ones who did outside house work. Yes, women too, such as the garden. But repairs and construction? Men.
So, to make sure this man was a potential rogue in disguise and ensure the safety of her family Chishio would be the 2nd person to greet the man. Her uncle was the first and he was pleasant. Told his family he was a 'nice young lad who'd help them quickly'. Chishio was still skeptic and unsure. Besides, he could be a rogue taking a glance at her family's house in the inside to see how wealthy they were.
They were.
And that wasn't ok with the youngest Tanaka to risk anything. So, instead of giving a quick greeting and goodbye like her foolish uncle Chishio went outside to locate the man. She'd see a pale figure on the roof already with some supplies. So, she'd climb up the very long ladder to the roof without any sort of warning. She took off her wooden sandals, not appropriate for such a role as this. And with that, barefooted, she'd walk up the ladder, her steps give a light thud with each motion.
Once reaching the top she'd squint at the man and ask, "Hello. Are you ok?"

Kenshin was excited to do this particular job for a noble family, he really did not ask too much about who is hiring him all he needs to know is what he is going to do and how much they are going to pay him. And well those things were really simple and amazing, all he needs to fix a roof and he will be rewarded handsomely. The man first met the man of the house and old nice gentleman if a bit boring, if kenshin was a weaker man he would have fell asleep mid talk as the old man went on and on for what felt like eternity.
But after that boredom was over the silver haired man was able to go and get the job started, once he was on the roof he would begin to examine issue, a simple hole in the roof, quite weird but not something the man can’t fix so he began to kneel down in front of the hole and take out his equipment, first one was his hammer and nails, then came the wood after that was some protective coating layer and finally cause nobles like everything to be pretty, the final thing was the paint and brush that matched the rest of the roof.
But before he could even do some work, he would hear someone walking over and then ask him a question. The man would turn around to see who was behind this, obviously it’s not the old man here to bore him to death again. And well it was not the old man it was the complete opposite of an old man; it was a beautiful buxom lady with long hair so he will have to respond to her like any gentleman would to a lady.
“Who wants to know?” he said as he looked at the lady while still crouched down, his eyes were a bit lazy, he was clearly not interested in answering her question.
Wow, what an asshole. He straight up showed that he didn't want to be bothered. The elf felt his presence as selfish and introverted. Chishio instantly regretted hiring him in the first place. She was agitated by his rhetorical question, but she answered like it wasn't.
She'd wait for a moment and tap her chin. She knew how she wanted to respond, she just did it coyly.
"The person who hired your ignorant ass." she'd say smartly and approach him, "If you aren't going to be nice. You aren't going to be paid. How dare you say this to the person who was willing for you to be paid a decent sum of yul in exchange of you slapping wood and glue on some roof!" she'd exclaim. She'd march righ over to the squatted man and bend over so, she'd make eye contact with him. Still, pissed.
"I was going to see if I could help you!" she lied, "But with that remark you are on your own trying to finish this up yourself!" she'd say. That one line made her rage immensely. It was obvious she didn't take shit from anyone. He was good looking and he probably had a good view of her chest the way she bent in front of him, but she didn't care. The megalomaniac demanded respect from this peasant. If he wanted to patch up a roof surely he was no noble!
The woman's face was filled with hatred and disgust by his comment. If she had known his true thoughts of her kind relatives that he interacted with before.... she'd had push him off the roof. Well, not literally. That was a crime. But surely, Chishio would've had such a malicious and violent thought pass through her emotional brain.
"Look, do you want to be left alone? Because I can do that. Just hurry the fuck up and finish and get out of my house once you are paid."

Kenny would sigh as he saw that the dark skinned woman got angry and approached him, bending over to have her eyes meet his on the same level Kenny would roll his eyes at her. True she was beautiful and also her chest was clear to him from this angle, but instead of looking there he just chose to stare back into her eyes as she continued to rant on and on.
Once she finally finished the man would begin to speak up first. “ok so are you finally done, I can talk now. Alright so first off, I was working with the old man I don’t remember seeing you greet me as I came, second of all. You can’t avoid paying me once I am done, last I remember I was being paid to do a job not being friendly.” The man’s tone would seem to indicate that Kenny is trying to hide some sort of laughter.
“as for you helping me, please you are too pretty to have any knowledge doing this stuff, so spare me your help and just watch me as I just ‘slap wood and glue on a roof’ if you want to stay, though if you are too angry you can go ahead and let me finish my job get paid and go home.” The man would say before turning away from her and looking at her tools, thinking of a remark that he can use to mess with her a little bit.
“man, why is every beautiful lady I meet is mean.” He said with a smirk as he turned to the girl giving her a glance before going back to his tools and start working.

"First off that, man is my uncle. Don't say shit about him. Secondly, you were given the privilege of this job from no other than me. I sent you a letter. That was my form of acknowledging your existence. And lastly, you pay me respect because I will boot your ass off this roof." she'd say her eyes turning into ones such as a grackle like it was ready to scratch a human because it got near its territory. So essentialy her eyes were like small slits, partially from the sun. But also partially from rage.
Who did this guy think he was?
"I'm not mean. I'm a very good person." she'd state matter of factly, "But I'm not going to put up with some man's bullshit who I hired to do a job," she'd spat at him as she raised above him, standing up properly now. She'd look down at the ungrateful man, almost thinking about how to continue this conversation and what to do. Her family said he was nice but he seemed two-faced or didn't really respect women.
Chishio glared in the quick moment that there was silence if he hadn't responded to her, "You aren't needed. Go on about your day," she'd say and sprawled down. She'd slide all the supplies he had on the roof to the side towards herself before flicking her wrist at him, "Go on. You aren't needed. I'll do this myself."
He thought he could just talk smack to her straight up and still think he'd be getting paid.
"You have crappy manners," she'd say eyeing and trying to figure out what to do first, "Work on them." Chishio said as she held up a tool with no name she knew.
Chishio got on her knees finding herself squatting was tiring but she'd do this on her own. Somehow....
