Hahah, sorry, sorry! [ He's caught Levi like this a couple times. It's admittedly funny that he keeps forgetting Levi isn't in school anymore. ]
Figured I'd try and scoop up someone being truant and get a little help. Not like I can't do the work myself, but, well, you know how easy it is for me to get dragged off.
[ It's true. The downside of being a busybody is how easy it is to get derailed from his deliveries. More than once a delivery has been late because he got saddled with flowers, or wrangling chickens, or some other task someone else needed help with. ]
I probably don't need the help that bad that I have to drag you into it, if you're busy...
[Levi gives a long suffering sigh, but it's just an act. He has no reason not to like Cloud and despite the dejected loner persona he puts on he is a nice guy. He'd probably helped Cloud before.]
[ He doesn't want to take up too much of Levi's time, though, so, hrm, what should he have him focus on... ]
The general store should have a package for me, if you can believe it. Zachariah [ His trusty steed of a Chocobo, in case Levi forgot— ] is resting for a couple weeks after pulling a wing. I need to make sure I give him a topical cream to help reduce the inflammation.
I can handle the other deliveries I gotta do today on my own, but if you can grab that for me while I'm busy dropping off stuff for Claude and Astralin, I'd appreciate it.
And hey, if you'd like to be compensated, I can handle that.
Just drop it off at the inn. I've got Zach posted up in the stables there for now, could look after him at home but, well, guy's gotta eat and the inn work is right up my alley.
[ He laughs a little. ]
I'm kinda light on change, but I'm sure I can string something together... [ He thinks. ] ... You need something done, Levi? Whether its me getting something for you or taking care of something on your behalf. Most of my pocket change is going to Zach right now, but I don't wanna leave you in the lurch, so name a favor and I'll get it done.
Alright, if you're sure... just don't forget to come calling when you need me and make sure I pay up, ok? I hate owing people when I know they've done me a solid.
[ It was Aldrip, 'favor for a favor' was a natural exchange among a close-knit community like this, but it doesn't mean that Mr. Busybody doesn't occasionally feel guilty about owing people. More than once has Cloud been dragged into something outside his skillset because he's owed someone a favor and needed, or wanted, to pay it back. Levi's favor is no exception. ]
Alright, well, with that settled. What's new, different, and interesting in the life of Levi? Anything going on worth bragging about, recently?
[ Despite needing the help, he seems more than ready to kick back and relax on a bench, now that he's gotten part of the checklist squared away. Work hard, play hard, right? ]
[ Well, at least he tried. He'll try to remember to make sure Levi knows he still has a favor to cash in later. At the mention of the Casino, he seems to... frown? ]
...Yeah, I guess it is new, huh. I can't really remember when it came in... do you?
[ He reaches to the back of his head, scratching it as confusion seems to tug at the corners of his mind. When did it come to town...? ]
Like, it's definitely made nightlife here a bit more busy, and I'm glad for that, but... I feel like I should've remembered when it opened.

I'd like at least something, no body likes to work for free.

How about you just owe me? I'll think of something later.
[Something reasonable...probably.]

[Of course if he went and got high or drunk after this he may forget. Oh well.]
Uh...no. Same old same old in beautiful Aldrip.
[He rolls his eyes. Perfect gets tiring.]
I guess there's the new casino?
