Figure I've settled in, gotten a flat and it's time to see about a job. Probably best if I post m'resume up here.

* experienced shop girl * Somewhat commanded a military unit and assisted in the research of multi-dimensional travel * Some experience with diplomacy between human and alien races. * Good with the running * Easily adapts to new environments and people * Known in one dimension as Rose Tyler, Defender of the Earth * Excellent at thinking on my feet * Bronze medal in Gymnastics

Think that covers most of the highlights.

[He chuckles and gives her a reassuring smile.]

Exactly, and if you can handle a little office work, too, perhaps some scheduling for me and perhaps at the salon..?

Ought to be able to do that. Easy enough, taking down messages and making appointments.

[She's becoming a bit more confident about this.]

Good. And don't worry, I'll start you off easy so you're not overwhelmed. Let me show you the cafe, I'll even buy you a drink.

[Leading her through a set of doors, they enter a nice, french-style cafe with local art on the walls and pastries in the counter.]

A bit of tea'd be nice. [She looks about curiously as they walks through the cafe.] The whole place is lovely.

[Cinna places the order for two of the house's special blend and ushers Rose to a nearby table.]

Tell me about yourself, where are you from, how did you end up in fashion?

I'm from London, England. That's on Earth, 2009. [She's learned these details are important in the City.]

Guess I just didn't have that many options. I dropped outta school 'cause it was just the same old thing every day and I wanted somethin' more excitin'. What I got, for a while at least, was a job workin' at Henrik's Department store. Haven't done that in a while but I sorta figger it's the kinda thing you don't really lose.

What have you been doing since then?

[The barista brought over their teas with an assortment of sugars and some cream. ]

[His question gets a big smile from her. She reaches for her cup of tea, pulling it towards her and reaching for some sugar.]

Traveling to all sorts of planets and dimensions and times. After that I worked with a place called Torchwood for a bit 'fore I transferred to takin' charge of a military unit researching multi-dimensional travel.

[She had a key to the box they couldn't get open. It gave her a bargaining chip]

[That got a raised eyebrow, planets, dimensions, and times? That was a breadth of information he wasn't sure he could process. But there was one part that stood out.]

You were in the military?

No, I was still a civilian, just sorta in charge of the unit because I had experience and they didn't.

Must have been an... interesting situation.

[It would have had to be. He certainly couldn't imagine the Capitol just letting... anyone take over for awhile. Despite their experience.]

Did you enjoy the assignment? Because there's a police force here that could use someone with military experience, I sure.

Guess you can say that. [She smiles slightly and shakes her head.] Not really my thing. I was just in it to get the Doctor back.

Did you? Get him back?

[He takes a sip of his tea, watching her carefully. He's no reason to dislike her, but he wants to get to know her as well as he can before he offers her a job.]

Yeah. According to the TARDIS and Donna, I did. Sorta got pulled here 'fore I could actually see him.

He's here though so either way...yeah, I got him back.

[Rose doesn't mind. She understands it's his store and he wants to be careful about who he brings in.]

Well, I can certainly tell you've lived an eventful life.

[He taps his finger on the rim of his cup.]

I'm inclined to give you a chance. Like I said, I don't expect you to be an expert overnight, and I make allowances for things like curses and the other... oddities of our fair city.

Are you still interested?

I've been lucky. [The luckiest she thinks, most of the time. She smiles at his offer and nods.]

Yeah. I think I'd like it here.

Wonderful. [He offers his hand.] Come in tomorrow morning, there's a little paperwork, but it won't take long and we can get you right to work.

[Rose shakes his hand with a big smile.] Thanks. I'll be here and thanks for the tea. [She finishes it with a sip and stands up.]

[He stands as well, but he's planning on taking his tea back to his office.]

I look forward to working with you, Rose. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Same here, Cinna. [She smiles, waves a bit and heads out of the store.]
