Dex: Did you wash my mugs?
Reader: Yes
Dex They weren't dirty.
Reader: Nothing in your apartment is dirty, sir.
Dex: Dex
Dex: You don't have to clean them.
Reader: Dex, I do actually. You paid for the premium housekeeping package.
Dex: Technically, my employer did, since they reimburse my travel expenses.
Reader: Then there's no reason why I shouldn't clean them.
Wed, 07 Oct 10:33 AM
Reader: I won't, if you don't want me to.
Dex: No, you can clean whatever you want.
Dex: I just noticed that my mugs were perfectly aligned, but freshly washed. That's all.
Reader: I try to keep your home exactly as you left it, albeit cleaner.

Reader: Hey Dex, this is your house sitter from Hestia's Home. I will be taking care of your apartment from Oct 28 to Oct 31. Do you have any special instructions related to the care of your home?
Dex: Do they make you ask this every time?
Reader: Yes
Dex: If I have any special instructions, I'll leave a note. No need to text me every time.
Reader: Okay.
Reader: Btw, thanks for the high rating!! I got a 🔥
Dex: What's that?
Reader: Hestia's Flame, it's a sticker they give out for high ratings. We stick them on our work badges
Dex: Don't see the point, but okay.
Reader: It's an accomplishment. It tells me (and my coworkers) that I'm doing a good job.
Dex: I see.
Sun, 01 Nov 9:54 AM
Dex: Any idea what this is? Someone slid it under my door.
Reader: Yeah... sorry. There were kids going door to door for trick or treating. I gave them some candy out of the bottom of my purse (think I'm the only one who had candy on your floor)
Reader: And then, they gave me a whole presentation about Pokémon cards. I think that's a drawing of Oddish (a Pokémon).
Dex: I'll leave it on the counter for you.
Reader: You should put it on your fridge. It's technically for both of us.
Dex: What?
Reader: The kids. They've seen you before, they think you'd be an Oddish if you were a Pokémon.
