Maddie listened passively to Lucas' explanation. Came looking for a job was a standard enough refrain. When he mentioned it being a non-profit, though, she perked up with a smile. Add considerate and generous to the list of his virtues, it seemed.
She got the impression, with his comment about being a glorified secretary, that he was being humble. People didn't move to a new city to be a secretary, no matter what company they were working for. i guess I need to add humble to the list too. That list of his virtues was growing longer all the time.
Maddie hummed when he asked her about her plans. She frankly hadn't thought about them in years. She decided to be honest, even if that honesty did make her look a little directionless. "Well, I had plans, when I first started school, to join a pharmaceutical company and work on something worthy. Like curing cancer, maybe. During school, I came to the realization that a lot of employees at that sorts of companies end up working on some version of Viagra or something, which is a pretty far cry from what I was hoping to do." She chuckled a bit self-deprecatingly. It had been a bit naive of her to think that she'd be able to work on cancer drugs and not whatever earned the company the most money. "The nail in that coffin came when I realized that I'm not really comfortable with the idea of testing on animals." There was something about the knowledge that humans were nothing but prey to the monsters out there that had cast animals in a new light for her. She'd been vegetarian almost since she'd started having her dreams. "The only other really common career option for chemists is at oil companies. I'm not super keen on the idea of living in the middle of nowhere on a tar sand though, no matter how good the pay is." She sighed and shrugged. "I guess this is a pretty long winded way of saying that I don't really know."
They ordered their drinks and, as promised, Maddie paid. While they were waiting for the order to finish being prepared, she turned to Lucas with a smile. "Okay, my turn. What does a guy like you do for fun? I mean, other than teaching girls how to throw knives," she teased gently.
