Making a Living Isn't Easy

Elena

I can't believe I came all the way to Elias just to end up doing this... Urgh...

You

You grumble, but you're pretty fast with your hands there.

I mean, you look so dissatisfied, yet look at you go!

Elena

It's not that surprising! I used to work on tons of dolls back at Santa's factory.

You

About that, I've been curious... how did you end up working at the factory?

You could have been doing research with your skills.

Elena

Human-shaped models that could control small humans, they said!

I thought, "This is big!" and signed up.

They made it sound like some sort of grand research project that required precision and detail.

And I showed up with high expectations...

Turns out it was gluing eyes to dolls, stuffing cotton, checking for defects... that type of garbage!

You

O-Oh...

Elena

On top of that, they had me sitting in the same position all day! Ugh... my back hurts just thinking about it!

You

I see you really went through a lot on Earth, Elena...

Elena

Well, an elf's gotta eat, right? Okay, done! Nothing else for me to do, right?

You

Whoa, already? But there was a huge pile of them earlier...

Just imagining doing that all day made my head spin... Thanks, Elena!

Elena

Talk's cheap... if you're really thankful, make a little room for me in your schedule!

Don't forget! Now, you owe me one, okay, Master?
