[center]Of all things Alyssa had been expecting of an interview, the sudden whirlwind of conversation and details had not exactly been fully anticipated. He was quite the interesting sort of man, from what she could gather in those few short moments, at least. She could have hardly gotten a word in even if she tried; however, part of her was pleased over such a thing. The less she had to talk and fight for herself, the better. On paper, she knew full well she wasn't exactly qualified, however, from experience, she was probably overly suited for the position. She was used to picking up other people's messes day in and day out, fixing things that had gotten broken along the way, tidying up and keeping organized to the best of her ability when she needed to. 

He seemed pleased that she had a degree even though it hardly pertained to the job at all. Then again, she wasn't sure she would have wanted someone who hadn't gone to at least some form of schooling roaming their home. She supposed you had to hold a level of trust over someone who was going to take over such a position, and she had hoped she would have come off as such. At least, Alyssa would give him no reason to think otherwise. She listened to him rattle off his favorite genres and what he'd been interested in and thankfully it had helped her relax in the slightest. Reading and writing had most definitely been where she found herself most comfortable, and if that was the one thing they would have in common, then so be it. Although, she didn't quite know how much interaction she would have with him other than this interview.

Alyssa had parted her lips to try and give him an answer, but he quickly had silenced her to move onto other things. She couldn't help but blink, the tilt of her head showing her curiosity to how quick he was able to switch from one topic to another. It was almost exhilarating as it was nearly exhausting. She had inkling that this man was full of much more knowledge than she could fathom. 

Still, she listened to him, unsure of where she still stood; unsure of what more he could have wanted to know about her; unsure of if she would even land the job. Everything he threw at her she immediately took away, almost tempted to write everything down in case she'd missed something important. From what she could gather, she would be obligated to live there, which wouldn't be a terrible problem considering there was nothing for her at home at this point. She would have to learn everything from Nathan – whom she supposed was the man who had led her into this room in the first place. At least he seemed nice enough – hopefully they would be able to get along, that is, if she had gotten the job. Then there was the salary, which had caught her mildly off-guard. It was much more than what she'd made at the library, that was for certain, and it would get her well on her way to paying for her father – especially if she really didn't have to worry about other expenses considering she would be staying there. 

Alyssa had shifted slightly in her seat, still gripping onto the edges of her portfolio in her lap as if her nerves had still been coursing through her, but she had brightened in the slightest over the mention of it, almost a bit of relief crossing her features – even more so when she was suddenly told that she did, in fact, have the job. Just like that. Just like it was nothing at all – as if she wasn't worrying to death over what she would do if she didn’t get it. 

She had blinked in her surprise, almost forgetting to answer his question all at once, but Alyssa quickly shook her head, the waves of her blonde hair falling around her shoulders. "I – Just –" Clearly she was at a loss for words momentarily before she collected herself rather quickly. "Sorry," She just as quickly apologized with almost an embarrassed smile on her lips. "Thank you, I mean. I really appreciate the opportunity, and I won't disappoint." She reassured him, once more, as if she needed to. [/center]
