Lisa takes a second to cool off, keeping her mouth firmly shut. She's being too hard on Jeannette, and she recognizes frustration at herself that's bleeding over. But it helps her to see the gears turning in the other girl's head. Maybe... maybe it was worth it, and she takes a breath, trying to push her normal, cheery-ish expression onto her face. The question that follows is a fair one, and Lisa nods, that smile turning a little more genuine.

"There is," Lisa agrees gently. "But most of that work is... I don't want to say unskilled," even if she's thinking it, "but since it's not specialized, Director Yoshino can only offer so much in return. And it means you don't have any work-life balance, either. If something's going down at the Dreamer Union, you're in the middle of it all day and all night."

She's silent for a moment, seeming to glance into the distance. She knows the city well enough that she knows where the DU building is from here, and that's the way she's looking, as if the structure itself is the cause of her problems. Maybe it is, not that she's going to voice that to the girl she's talking to that really doesn't deserve yet another helping of her issues.

"It's not a bad idea, and it's probably where I'm headed, too," she eventually finishes, tone carefully neutral. "Just... make sure you know what you're signing up for, yeah?"
