I dunno.

Was, uh, workin' for a tailor. Was military for a bit. Don't know what jobs they've got open that I can do though.

[He's not sure how to tell Miles that he used to a spy, was a spy, (wasn't anymore?), without giving up secrets.]

Alright, that isn't how I'd generally open a response to a job interview, but fortunately, this is not a job interview. You've been all over the board, haven't you? The only posting I know for sure is open at the moment is...Lavatory Specialist, and I'm not sure that cleaning toilets would be a step up from intel. I can ask Captain Thán if there are any other holes that need filling, though.

Have you ever considered a career in veterinary medicine?

Didn't know this was an interview, but if you want it to be more formal like, I can put on my suit and come down?

[He's half teasing, but not completely. Eggsy arrived in a suit, he could totally wear one and do this right.]

Nah, ain't against cleaning, but if there's somethin' else, yeah? Well, I like animals. Didn't think about doin' it for a career.

I was joking about that, actually, but it wouldn't be a terrible idea -- if there were anyone for you to study from. I have a feeling that learning by doing is not the best approach to a degree in veterinary medicine, and the only thing you've got to practice on besides Stark is a shipful of microcats, and I suspect the ship would riot if you decided to use them for test subjects. You saw Starflight's post, didn't you?

No need for formality, Eggsy. But yeah, unless you're dead set on scrubbing latrines, I can talk to Thán for you. We're due for a chat anyway.

So -- what is it you don't like about intel? Some people would consider not having much work to do an attractive propspect.

[ some people...like ivan. not miles, though. miles just doesn't stop. ]

I ain't doin' nothin' that'll hurt any of them cats.

[So, no, he won't be practicing on any live subjects any time soon.]

That'd be great. Thanks, bruv.

Ah, it's boring, yeah? I like to be out doin' stuff, proper action an' all. Sneakin' about can be fun sometimes, but it's rare and I'd rather be useful. Don't like feelin' useless.

Alright, good to know. I'll talk to Captain Thán once I get an opportunity to see him. I've got a few things on my agenda to discuss with him anyway. Unless you'd rather take that toilet-scrubbing assignment right off.
