Chapter 62
Poppy is in the Kitchen of the shelter helping Mrs Honey. He is humming the same little tune from before as he slowly puts the cups away in one of the cubberts. The hunter is still a little extra joyful due to Branch comforting him a night ago. Mrs Honey is sweeping the kitchen floor with a wooden broom as she listens to Poppy's humming.
" Did you come up with the lyrics for that song yet,dear?",Mrs Honey asks kindly.
The helpful man stops humming still keeping his happy demeanour. He puts the last cup into the cubbert and closes it. Poppy didn't get any lyrics for his song yet but, a new part of the melody was created in his head as he was just scrapbooking. At the same time he was thinking about Branch and her coffee gesture. The turned vampire turns around to see the kind woman looking at him as she sweeps.
" Not yet but, new part of the melody just popped into my head yesterday night when I was scrapbooking. ",Poppy admits honestly and a little cheerful.
Poppy had started scrapbooking about his favourite moments in Vampdom so far yesterday night after he left the Coffee shop. He in fact scrapbooked a bunch of moments he shared with Branch like their first waltz and their coffee shop moment. Half of the moments were in fact of him and Branch but, he didn't notice that yet. Mrs Honey notices that he had used a pun.
" Pun intended?", Mrs Honey asks simply.
" No. Happy accident I guess. ", Poppy says cheerful.
Mrs Honey nods her head to the turned vampire understandingly. Then she continued to talk as she sweeps. The woman is almost finished with sweeping.
" Could put those glasses by sink away for me,dear? ",Mrs Honey asks kindly.
Poppy happily does as the older woman asks. It feels good to be helping someone in stead of just sitting in his room. Poppy needed something more to keep him busy in his spare time. The former troll quickly and gently closes the cubbert where he put the glasses in. Mrs Honey stops sweeping and puts the broom aside against the wall. The pink vampire looks at the older vampire as she brings her attention back to him.
" So do you need me to do anything else? I got nothing else to do anyway...",Poppy says honestly.
" No but, thanks for the help. Maybe you should start looking for a job now in the meantime? It will be good for you to earn yourself some money and will keep you busy. I do know of a few places that are looking for extra help if you would like some help with looking for a job.", Mrs Honey says kindly and honestly.
Mrs Honey truly thinks it will be a good idea for him to take a look at his job options. Poppy will have to start looking at some point anyway. Maybe he will find something that he can do and will like. Poppy pauses and thinks for a moment about what Mrs Honey said. The hunter still has a job but, getting a job in Vampdom to do during his mission didn't sound like a bad idea at all...
Nights have passed but, Poppy is still looking at his options for a job he could do. The jobs available to him are either something he can't do or aren't for him. Most of the jobs Poppy couldn't do but, he didn't let it get him down. He is sure he could find a job that he could both do and be right for him to do for the time being.
The turned vampire walks into the library returning a few books for Mr Honey. Poppy has them in his arms as he walks over to desk happily but, Miss Robin isn't there. Poppy looks around from where he is standing but, still doesn't see her. He decides to wait for her so he puts the books down on the checkout desk.
A few minutes go by but, then Miss Robin comes back to her checkout desk complaining to herself while holding a piece of paper. She doesn't seem happy at all! Poppy notices her but, becomes a little confused by her. The librarian unhappily reaches her post then puts the paper down by the books Poppy brought. The spy looks at the paper and notices what is written on it.
" Help Wanted
Vampdom Public Library needs someone to work part time to stock and help sort out the book shelves and read for children 'Story Time'. No special skills needed. Must be able to read. The pay is Minimum wage. ", is written on the paper.
Poppy's eyes light up and a smile appears on his face at the job. Maybe he should apply to work in library? It doesn't seem so hard and he does like reading to children. Back in the village Poppy volunteered to read to a group of trollings a bunch of times. The hunter can still remember how the trollings would be so happy to see him and how they would enjoy most of the books he read to them. Poppy loved reading to the children in the village so why not read to the vampire children? Plus since the job is part time it could work for him. The amount money didn't matter to the hunter. Then Poppy looks back at Miss Robin.
" Are you returning these books for Mr Honey?",Miss Robin asks blankly.
" Yes, I am. Is the job mentioned on the paper still available?", Poppy says cheerful and hopeful.
Miss Robin looks down at the paper then back up at Poppy. A few nights ago one of the other employees had quit for a better paying job. As a result it made Miss Robin's job harder than it should be. Nobody had applied for the job yet but, looks like Poppy is the first and only one interested in it to the librarian. She takes the books and marked them as returned in her folder as she talks.
" It is but, nobody applied for it yet. If you want the job then you must apply for it and get an interview with Mr Clover. I'll get you application to fill in and give it to him when he comes in later. ", Miss Robin says blankly.
Poppy nods his head happily to the librarian. The librarian grabs an application from a draw of her desk and hands it over to the turned vampire. Poppy takes the application then looks at the form smiling. He is going to apply for this job.
