@capn-twitchery its a very vague concept but i have like.... a scene in my head of a younger/newer girl at the palace (though im sure you'd need at least some experience to work there.... maybe not directly in the employ, ill think on it) who messes up with something, possibly even just something small like spilling a teapot or the like, and that being met with far greater reprimand then is appropriate, or at least the threat of it.

And in a split moment of impulse Jamie acts entierly out of character and moves to stand up and defend her from such. As little as they could actually do in the matter. I imagine The Princess would find such a situation so funny. Fine then - the girl will just be fired from her position instead.

Cuz see the thing is the way most serving jobs worked is you were entierly reliant on having a reference from your past employer in order to apply for a new job working for a different household. not having one pretty much doomed you when it came to looking for another job.... so that would leave the poor girl in a bad situation

So Jamie, feeling guilty in part for this but also with Everything Going on in their involvement in the area would end up offering her a job at their house in stead. (Which I dont think the head housekeeper at Jamie's home is much a fan of but thats for further expansion of these characters when i get there lol)

(Theres an important aspect i think in all of Jam's dynamic with The Princess, and The Manager for that matter too tbh, that Jamie comes from a very different background themself. Jamie was an orphan, spent a significant amount of their youth at an industrial school, and has very much worked in jobs. theyve known struggle and hardship in a different way. the place they reached today is very different from where they started.... and impacts them as much as they'd prefer to pretend it didnt)
