Job:
Darius has two part time jobs currently. One is as a teaching assistant in the local primary school, and the other is working in a travel agents, helping holiday makers. He enjoys both for different reason, the school because he connects well with younger plums, the travel agent because the world fascinates him. He hopes that one day he can become a teacher of some sort in the field of geography. |
So you want to know about Darius? Perhaps he doesn't want you to know. Not that he dislikes those around him, of course; Darius is just extremely guarded. To other plumerians, he can come across as standoffish or rude, but this isn't the case. When he was a youngster, Darius grew up in a secluded spot, and because of this he had a lot less contact with others as a child. You could even say he never had the chance to develop any social skills. Since moving on from his family home, Darius has struggled to build up a strong network of friends and connections. He keeps himself to himself and is content to keep it that way. When someone new or unknown tries to talk to him, he is known to just 'shut down', answering in grunts or nods of the head, effectively pushing the plumerian out.
If someone is gentle and patient enough, they can work their way into their heart rather easily. Again, you could say this is another weakness of his. He finds it difficult to open up to most, but those few that he does get comfortable to, he latches onto far too quickly. His only saving grace is that he is a decent judge of character, and those he does call friends are genuine and feel the same way about him. All that Darius really needs is someone with a more 'gentle' temperament who would be willing to wait for him to grow accustomed to their presence. When he finds himself a buddy, Darius is very caring, sometimes taking more of an interest in that plumerian's welfare than his own. Darius has found an interest in the world around him, and is now taking a course in Travel and Tourism. Through this, he has learnt so much that he never knew, and has a list in his bedroom with names of places/attractions he wants to visit scrawled all over it. His shelves are so packed with geographical books and encyclopedias that they're now spreading out onto the floor, and his collection keeps growing. Reading is his favourite pastime, and being able to combine it with filling his head with knowledge about the world is something of a dream come true for him. When he finally puts his books down, Darius enjoys going on long walks, especially in the evening just as the sun is setting, and though he enjoys cooking, he's yet to develop a real talent for it. He connects very well with children, finding them a lot easier to get on with due to the fact that they do not judge as quickly as older plumerians might. When he's with younger plumies, he can relax a little bit more and be himself, which is always a blessing. |
