[ If she's talked to her boyfriend about it, then there's not much else he can do or say. He has about as much power as anyone else does in this situation (which is to say: very little) and he's never been the type of person to offer false hope or make promises he can't keep.
Still. It's frustrating to be able to do so little. ]
If I hear anything new I'll let you know.
[ And then, a minute later: ]
If you need a distraction, I can also bring the dogs over.
Ahaha! If you ever have time, sure! I definitely should get them a bone or something, they were such good boys last time I saw them.
[ The change of subject was a good thing-- It was getting hard not to be overly emotional when literally her everything was at stake. That and the offer was super-welcome and really, she should consider getting her own doggo sometimes. They were so affectionate... ]
If you want, you could come later today. The shop is closed for the week... I had two new friends who worked there, but they have disappeared. I guess they're back in their homeworld and safe.
[ Yeah, she'd forgotten to mention that. Because obviously, things could always get worse. ]
With the current events, it's hard to find gems willing to take their jobs... But I should have someone by next week. Till then I'm working at home, little old me isn't enough to run the shop and I can't ask my boyfriend to do three person's jobs, ahaha!
[ Ah....he's had friends come and go, and while such a thing gets easier over time, he can't say it's ever truly easy. It must be even less easy when said friends were helping out and offering support in other ways.
Given everything happening at the moment, the bookstore will probably be fine for a few more weeks. But after that... ]
I'll help. Though I'm better at organizing and restocking than interacting with customers.

[ Too much time....half a year spent in this place and he still hasn't gotten a job. Truly he's turning in a bum. ]
Just name a time and I can bring them over.

No, don't worry about it. I'll be fine really.
Just bring the doggos when you have time, okie?
no subject
[ He ain't gonna push if that's how it really is. ]
But if you do need the extra help at some point, just let me know. I have time on my hands.
no subject
Guess I really did succeed in befriending you, ahaha!
[ Why, she'd rather end this conversation on a teasing note than on a downer. ]
