[ Jayce smiles and taps his fingers over the table. ]
I'm actually a scientist and inventor back home. My family is in the blacksmithing business, or really the building business, so I was raised in it. I sort of intentionally broke from it to make my own path, I had these big dreams and I accomplished many of them.
[ Until a very bad week of his life that he'd been in the middle of before being brought here. But Jayce achieved notoriety and fame for his work in his city, for all the reasons he wanted. He climbed in a way that the son of a lesser house never should have been allowed to. He speaks all of this honestly and from the heart, it seems like he does that, very off the cuff. Alucard had mentioned to Viktor before how upfront Jayce was, especially about private things other people wouldn't share as easily. But he's just trying to tell Sam that he actually understands the distinction. ]
I don't have the ability to do that here, so I went back into builder mode. And there's a lot to be said for it, it's very lucrative and keeps me busy. So if there is something you are good at and like doing, that would be ideal.
[ Jayce has found a lot of contentment in his position here in Cadens. Even if it brought him backwards in a way, it's also provided a good life for him and Viktor in this strange place. So it's worth it. Suggestions, well, Jayce raises an eyebrow. ]
Swing a hammer like construction? They're working on reconstruction of Libertas, the entire city is going to have to be rebuilt, you might be able to find something there. I go regularly to help, it is rewarding. Not sure how much it pays, but it could be a good starting point.
[ Jayce is a volunteer, that's why he doesn't know what it pays, but as he said already, his business is lucrative. He doesn't need to worry about payment for all of his time. The interesting thing is he thought Sam would want to be a hunter like his brother. ]

It's not as exciting as a hunter's lifestyle.
