So...

[Branching out of her comfort zone is a hard thing.]

I'm looking to do some work. Building or making whatever people need. Not sure if I'll be able to do everything, but try me. And if I can't, might be able to find someone who can chip in where I slack off.

I'm pretty good with my hands.

[Even if no one wants or needs anything done, she ( Read more... )

[Oh hey she's talking to people! That's great!]

It's a bit empty in forge. Could always use another pair of hands.

[Talking? More like fumbling. At least she's trying. :3]

Just say the word and I'm there. Have you got anything to work on now?

[It's good enough for him. That's how he talks to everyone.]

Um, well I've been playing around with those furry talking things we got out of the bags. I uh, don't actually have anymore steel to forge anything with.

I've been meaning to mess around with mine. I haven't yet though.

[Abeni breathes a sigh, already mulling over where they might get steel from.]

Have you tried asking staff if there's more? Anything we can melt down to use?

[Not that she has any idea what they can even build.]

I asked they staff. They gave me some in return for um...helping them out.

[He's still blaming himself for that Halloween incident no matter what Joe told him.]

But that's gone now. The only other things I could find to melt were things in the armory, but we might need what's in there.

[Neither does he. Most of the time he just starts making things and goes with the flow.]

Hmm. I'll look around and see if I can find anything.

[There's got to be something else. She just can't think what.]

Ever tried woodwork?

[It's another thing she learned from Luis, years ago. Even if it was just simple work around the house, it mattered.]

Not really but I can give it a shot.

[There's not much that Zachariah isn't willing to try.]

I know a little bit. Wood is easier to find too so...

I was thinking about fixing up one of the boats. Some of the panels are a bit worn. The rods could stand for improvement too.

[Woodwork and fishing. Probably the most normal things she's ever done in her life.]

Sounds fun. Let's do it.

[Zachariah is all too happy to fix something, and learn something new. It'll be just like the old days...only they aren't killing people which makes it much better.]

Okay.

[This feels strange. Nice, but still strange. Abeni can only hope that if she keeps up the effort, that oddness will go away.]

I'm headed to the boat house now.

Alright, I'll meet you there.

[When he gets there, she'll be sitting on the edge of one of the boats, untangling a line. Abeni looks up and offers a small smile.]

Hey.

[He smiles back at her.]

Need a hand?

Some jackass tangled the line and left it.

[She actually doesn't mind working it out. It gives her something to do. Abeni taps the heel of her boot on the boat she's sitting on.]

This is the first one I want to clean up.

[Even if it doesn't need proper repairs, sanding it down a bit and getting some of the grime off can't hurt.]

[Zachariah looks over at the boat she wants to work on. It doesn't look too bad but it's a good place to start, especially since he hasn't really done any work with wood before.]

So where do we start?

[He steps closer to get a better look at the boat.]

Gotta look it over, check for chips or cracks, any panels that are rotting out. Get some of the grime off, sand it back where it needs it.

The carpentry house is a mess at the moment, so I guess cleaning that up is on the to-do list as well.
