As though in makeup for the lack of progress on the disaster shelter earlier, Tsarzi was burning through her work now. She moved from one greenhouse to the next, attending and directing where she could before she was outside, helping weed the plots and waters and fertilize seeds. Her pants had mud smeared on them and dirt was embedded irritatingly under her nails, but she felt a buzz of satisfaction in the sweat on her skin, burn in her arms, and sight of her work.

Her pace slowed a bit, but Tsarzi stuck with the greenhouses, this time helping to put away equipment that had been placed improperly and sort seeds that had gotten all mixed together. It was meticulous and methodical and took little of her mental faculties, so Tsarzi settled in to listen to some heavy metal while she fixed this mess.

Tsarzi stretched her back and loosened herself back up after being seated and bent over a tray of miscellaneous seeds for an hour of so. Each different kind of seed was sorted into paper envelopes, labelled, and set aside for future planting. Tsarzi noticed Lupos had wandered off in the time since she sat down to sort seeds, and so went in search of her wayward lusus. She found the giant wolf salamander hassling some volunteers, with shreds of rope scattered around and the duo tangled horribly in the bindings.

As Tsarzi came to understand the situation, Lupos had settled in for a nap in the shade of one of the under construction hives near the greenhouses. He had been in the way of the work of a couple of trolls, who heckled the lusus from afar until someone stupidly threw a metal casing for a mailbox his way and Lupos decided that their attempts to shoo him were't so entertaining anymore.

Tsarzi made it clear what she thought of the intelligence of the duo of volunteers and how they got off easy, especially considering the carnivorous nature of the lusus they decided to bother. They were trying to do their jobs though, even if they went about getting rid of their obstacle in a rather stupid way. Eventually, after some repenting and more mild comments, they two were released and Tsarzi helped clean up the mess made from Lupos's rope adventure.

Lupos continued to be cause mischief when Tsarzi went to help with the lusus quarters. Tsarzi was making some comments at him about impeding progress of building new homes and the spread of modernized and thoughtful philosophy. Lupos was quickly growing tired of being hassled by his charge though, and took it upon himself to retire awakyfrom the uptight company of Tsarzi. Of course, upon entering the quarters, lupos got into a bit of a spat with some of the the other lusii and soon enough had to leave lest a fight break out, Tsarzi following diligently, if irritably.

Leaving the lusus quarters after doing practically nothing, Tsarzi wasn't particularly satisfied. Lupos himself seemed a bit rankled himself, and when Tsarzi inquired as to what exactly had occurred, the lusus just grumped and huffed and curled up to nap outside of one of the bare hives. Tsarzi stood over her lusus until the wolf salamander pointedly covered his head and she breathed a sigh through her nose. The behavior was childish and unhelpful and she did not approve. Lupos knew this and didn't care.

To avoid unnecessary tension developing further between them and to make up for the progress she didn't get to make on the lusus quarters, Tsarzi set about taking care of the second coat of paint needed inside the hive.

In one of the greenhouses, a stressed orangeblood knocked over a table and sent pots flying into the floor. It was not a pretty sight and the troll had to be removed and taken for medical treatment. Tsarzi took it upon herself to head the cleaning of the mess and saw that everything was put back in order as quickly and smoothly as possible. So far progress in the Greenhouse had come along fantastically and it wouldn't do to backslide or let moral take a hit now.

Tsarzi watched as the two trolls flung paint in each others direction for maybe five seconds, establishing that this was in fact a complete waste of supplies and energy and was doing absolutely nothing to further the progress of setting up hives. As a matter of fact, it was counter productive as splashes of pale blue were spattering on the rich red exterior of the home the two kids had set up camp in front of.

Tsarzi approached.

As though aware of her fun sucking abilities and the incoming chewing out,
one of the kids lobbed a wad of paint coated paper at Tsarzi. The kids had a good laugh at it, but quickly grew silent as they noticed the blueblood approaching them had gone stock still holding onto an expression that could peel the mismatched paint drying on the hive. Quailed quickly by Tsarzi's short words and frankly displeased expression, the two were back to work quickly. Tsarzi on the other hand, went to go wash the pale blue off before it dried.

Tsarzi had been walking back towards housing when she overheard whispers of conversation from inside the greenhouse. She diverted in there, deciding that she would help with the chores that needed done there instead. The trolls inside had been talking in excited but slightly too low to hear from outside voices. Once inside the greenhosue walls, she was able to hear that they were discussing recent incidents in one of the troll's hiveblocks. Seems that they too were a commuter. Half an ear on the conversation, Tsarzi went about her business quietly, planting seeds in ready planters and setting them out, an innocuous enough addition to the environment that the two trolls didn't notice her for quite some time. She'd eventually tuned the conversation out when it switched subjects and went about ehr business studiously.

Tsarzi retired from the greenhouses after telling the two in there to stop staring and get back to work. Outside she picked up some of the slack in tending to the crops, watering and tilling soil. It seemed to be a slow day and she found herself eyeing trolls nearby. Her pace was slower than it had been before, but she knew she needed some downtime so she observed the other trolls working with her, taking in their appearances and conversations. It was informative, though maybe not interesting per say. Most of it was idle chatter and left much to be desired.

After a power nap, Tsarzi was back to work again, though this time there was a rather distressed yellowblood working in the greenhouses. They seemed distraught over something to do with their lusus and not having seen them fro three days. They were rambling at some other trolls in there, most of whom looked awkward and concerned. Tsarzi saw that while attempts to help were made, no one seemed to be making any headway. Tsarzi eventually stepped in, and though her way of handling the situation may have seemed a bit harsh, she eventually got the yellowblood to do some breathing exercises and wrangled some info out of the troll. Turns out their lusus had only recently started leaving them on their own, so they were still easily stressed by the absence. Tsarzi managed to get the yellowblood to work a little bit while offering them some frank advice on what to do with the situation.

Tsarzi managed to calm the yellowblood somewhat and get them working a bit, but it was slow and they were obviously still very high strung. After taking them to the Lightseeker captains to see if they could do anything for the troll. Tsarzi was thanked for her help and told they would take over from here, and reluctantly Tsarazi let the matter go. All they could really do was wait for the lusus to come back. It seemed the troll was just having some trouble adjusting and likely not fatal danger being posed to the missing lusus. Still, Tsarzi could only spend so long helping spread fertilizer before she found herself taking an early break to check on the distressed troll and further developments. She was informed that the troll mostly seemed to be having a very rough day and that an alert was going out to keep an eye open for a featherbeast with four snake heads. In the meantime, they'd convinced the yellowblood to take something to help them sleep and was resting.

The work around here never seemed to run out, but progress had been made, and it seemed morale was up at least a bit. Tsarzi noticed the cheerier attitudes and renewed vigor the other trolls were putting into their work. It was easier to work with trolls in a good mood usually, from what Tsarzi was finding, as long as she didn't expect her to join in the cheer.

Tsarzi had only watered a couple rows of rows of crops when the noise of wings and an approaching chorus of hisses could he heard distantly. Tsarzi took note of the flying creature as she continued tending to the seedling corn crop, keeping an eye on the approaching figure. Finally it was close to decipher the the snake like heads on the bird body and Tsarzi wasted little time in hailing the lusus down. He nerves itched a little at dropping her task before she was ready, but helping that yellowblood would get them in better shape faster and then there'd be two sets of hand back at work instead of one.

The lusus noticed her signals and approached, allowing Tsarzi to guide the lusus to the rest house where the yellowblood had been laid up.

Tsarzi saw the end to the yellowblood's fuss by delivering the lusus successfully, and was able to wash her hands of the affair once. The lusus had been noticed by other too, who had been parts of the search party, but they let her go and finish her self assigned task. Scoping out what needed working next, Tsarzi headed to the Lake Road to try and get some work going there, but it was largely neglected, and with only her, she could only do so much.
