He jumped as the woman in question opened the door. He turned back around to send the white haired woman an awkward grin. 

[b]"Are you applying as an apprentice, or are you here just to waste my time?"[/b]

[color=brown]"Ahhh..."[/color] Jonathan began, a confused expression on his face. [color=brown]"I suppose both?"[/color] He answered her, though it sounded more like a question than an answer. It would be nice to be her apprentice. Much nicer than being his brother's lacky. [color=brown]"Actually, no. As far as you consider it, I might just be wasting your time. In fact, I'm probably wasting both of our times. But trust me, I'm not here to... doing anything bad. Mind... if I just talk?"[/color] He asked. However, realizing what her answer might be, he added, [color=brown]"You can continue working while we talk. I'll even help if you need me to. I'm fairly good at being a lacky/dog. Just... let me stay here for a bit at the very least so my brother thinks I'm doing something productive."[/color] 

And there it was. He didn't care what her answer was to his questions but he desperately wanted to be away from his brother much longer than he had been. This way, he wouldn't come after him if he thought he was doing something productive, right? When he called, he'd tell him he was working on it. Oh, please... Let this girl let the poor Jonathan in!
