[ despite winning the same luxury upgrade, the mention of working a shift had caught thoma's attention and had brought him to volunteer anyway. it's a chance to see if he recognizes anyone else as much as it is one to meet more people, though half of the reason also has to do with not having a job just yet and wanting to do more than just vacation. he realizes that might seem strange to some, but after being yanked out of a relatively busy life, having so much time has left him feeling a little lost in the time he doesn't fill with exploration.
so this feels natural, even if he's never spent any time working this specific kind of job. thoma's in the middle of checking a woman in and handing off her keys when he feels eyes on him and when his attention shifts, he finds himself looking over at childe as he ends up at the counter. his smile brightens at the sight of him, but he finishes with the first guest before he turns to him fully, an easy laugh earned by the request. ]
Is that so, sir? Would you like me to contact the service department or should I come take a look at it myself? [ his shift is nearly over and there's another person working the front desk with him, so it's not as if it would be a terrible thing to step away for the last half hour or so. ]
