[Ajax shoots a balled up, crumpled piece of paper into the basket next to him as he waits for the appointed time.
It's a bit below his station to do so, but on occasion, the CEO of Nizhnii Corp likes to surprise people and pop into interviews or other people's offices. He gets restless in his own office, not always enjoying having to deal with the board of directors or investors. There were many that say he doesn't really fit his position, that his demeanor wasn't good for being the CEO of a company. Diplomacy was never his strong suit, but despite that the company still managed to flourish. Happy employees always made for better work- and though Ajax himself was a ruthless businessman, he still treated all his subordinates like they were family.
And that's how Nizhnii ended up with such a good reputation, and how he finds it so easy to find good applicants.
Today was no exception, and Ajax plans on making a surprise appearance for this part-timer who's hoping to land a job here. Adjusting his cufflinks on his suit as he walks down the hallway, he makes his way towards the conference room where they generally conduct interviews- and he tells HR that he'd like a little time with the potential hire first. She's already gone through their first interview, and passed it with flying colors, so now he's interested to see who exactly it is who's gotten the interest of their hiring managers. He's timed it so she should be waiting in the conference room already, provided she wasn't late- but he's sure that he wouldn't have to worry about that.
The first thing he does is pop his head in, smiling warmly at the girl waiting patiently for someone to come in to start the interview, before coming in and walking up to her.]
Good morning! Sorry to keep you waiting. I had a small matter to attend to before I was able to come down. I'm Ajax Volkov, it's a pleasure.
[He offers a hand for her to shake, before he'll politely take a seat across from her at the table.]
HR will be with us shortly, but I thought I'd take some time to get to know you a little better before we start asking the stuffy, boring questions of the interview. I hope that's alright.

i can never find anything via reverse search. it's always ended in failure ;;
[With plans settled, Ajax leads Lumine up to the counter so they can pay for their clothes, walking out with their own bags and settled on visiting the blacksmith back up above. The path they'd taken down is the closest to them, so he figures going back up the way they came would be for the best. Their hotel is mixed in with all the business here in downtown Sumeru City, and that includes the blacksmith.]
Why don't you lead the way from here? That way I can focus on finding a boat that will take us all the way down to Ardravi Valley. I was doing a bit of research on the general geography of Sumeru, and I recognize that name as one of the tourist spots. I was also reading that there's a giant robot stuck in the mountain there...
[Ajax takes his phone out and starts to look up boat tickets down the river so they can go enjoy the Sumeru Roses in the valley and maybe see some of the sights there. He even manages to find a picture of said robot and shows it to Lumine, just so she can see what he was talking about.
An overgrown robot covered in moss...who woulda thought?]
truly the most useless function to have ever been forced into 'popularity'
( Lumine also figures, nightfall would be their best time to travel about, as they only have to worry about the humidity and not the combination of the sun with it during the day. Leading him back up to the surface of Sumeru City, thankfully the tree produced a good amount of shade still over the Blacksmith.
When shown, she looks over to his phone to indeed see a giant robot, covered in foliage and attempted reclaiming of nature. She's quite surprised by the sheer amount of it compared to the pictures with people standing by the finger of it alone. )
Wow... That actually looks amazing... The amazing stuff you find all over the world.
( Though the cavern was prohibited due to the dangers inside. Making it to the blacksmith, she asks about any swords he has pre-made. And he pulls out a cool looking one that definitely fits the theme of their nation for sure. Sapwood Blade. It looked really cool, besides they don't even know if they will even see any danger. More of a precaution. )
I'll take it.
no subject
But for now, as Lumine asks the blacksmith about swords, Ajax goes to look at all the ones on display already. There's a variety to choose from, and he marvels at them all like a kid in a candy store. There's other weapons too, and he just gets this inexplicable itch to try them all. Like he needs someone to fight, like he knows he could take any one of those weapons and wield them like he's been using them his whole life.
He wanders back over as Lumine chooses her sword, and he eyes it.]
Oh, found one already? Huh...
[He says as he examines it, his pupils dilated.]
I can't decide myself. There's so many to choose from.
