Stevie squared her shoulders and had a nasty look on her face.
"Why? Are you gonna insult me some more? Look I know I'm in a shitty place. You don't have to tell me I'm not good enough. Already had plenty people tell me that. You asked what you could do for me and Ms. Hall here made it seem like you needed to hire people. It was only a suggestion I came up with on the spot."
She shook her head. Everything was jumbled and rolling in hurt pride. Stevie knew she didn't want to hear what he had to say. She didn't think she could handle another blow like that again. It was just too much. And now she really wanted a drink.

Xapham would stare at the woman with pity in his eyes.
"I didn't mean any disrespect, all I was trying to point out that if you want to work here your... other activities will have to end. The alcohol in your pocket will need to go, you're tendencies toward promiscuity will have to halt. At least while you are on this campus. If you work here you will work with and around children, and children are extremely susceptible to influence, especially to those in power around them."
He would sigh.
"You are free to do whatever you wish outside of this institution as long as you do not bring it back with you when you return. If you can promise that you can, and will, clean yourself up and keep yourself clean, then I'm positive that there is a place for you here. "

Stevie's eyebrow remained raised. Who was this man to tell her what she could and could not do. Sure she wouldn't pull out the flask in front of kiddos. Duh. And she sure as hell wouldn't try to show them sex-ed. Jesus-fucking-Christ.
"I'm not planning on offering this thing up to kids."
She'd tap her pocket.
"Hell, I could be a shining example on what not to be."
She'd give a humorless laugh.
"I joke, obviously."
This guy didn't seem like the type who got jokes..
"What positions need to be filled?"
No promises. Just see what's what.

"I did not mean to insinuate that you would be openly crass in front of the students, however, you currently smell of alcohol and even if you didn't children are perceptive, my children especially so."
He sighed, this woman was so self-focused she took everything he was saying as an insult and not looking at the larger picture he was trying to paint for her.
"It depends on what you are capable of. I have room for Qi trainers, General Studies Teachers, and Combat instructors."

Stevie grasped the straw, completely ignoring the comment about how she smelled. She didn't come to him complaining of him in anyway. Rude.
"I rock at combat. Not to toot my own horn or anything. But you know, the place we came from had it's fair share of fighting, and then some."
She shrugged.

"I know all too well."
He would say obviously speaking as if he wasn't in that room for a minute as he too relived how many battles he had survived on their world.

Stevie surmised he was too busy to teach the brats on his own. What with running the place, he really didn't have enough time to do everything.
"Pretty much all I'm good at is fighting. It's all I've ever known. It's the only reason I'm still alive."
She wasn't really talking to him anymore. Just saying things aloud.
"I don't know if I'll be good at teaching a bunch of kids how to fight, if I'm being wholly honest."

"Well, how about you and Rhona head down to the training area and have a Spar. If she says you're worth it, and you don't mind meeting my requests, I can set you up start the beginning of the new year."

Stevie nodded slowly.
"So no drinking, no sex, and better dressing? We'll see about that. I'll take the spar though."
She'd give a half hearted wave and turn around and grin at Rhona.
"Back to the gym, Miss Hall?"

Rhona was a bit stiffened by the spar idea. Honestly she wasn’t scared but if Qi powers were going to be used she was thinking she received the short end of the stick here.
“I guess I can see what I’m currently made of against someone who fought alongside a Dragon.” She answered in agreement
