She'd been assigned to help mend new fences for tithes coming in. On a hot day with little supervision and a lot of fencing to put in... what, exactly did they expect to happen? Certainly no heatstroke, if she had any guesses.

Shiloh stood before the area marked out by chalk lines, leaning on a shovel as she held a large water container in the other. There was so much! She'd probably just get splinters and those were hard to pick out from her calluses! And with the sickness going around... she wouldn't be surprised if she got infected from it.

And she was supposed to have a partner for this too... Where were they? Late? Sick? She wouldn't be surprised if they were sick... Shiloh sighed.

Seragee had been pleased as punch when he'd found out that he'd be helping construct new fence for the expected tithes. This was a problem worthy of his skills, if perhaps a bit basic. He needed to calculate the amount of field he'd need based off the estimates of what the weyr expected in this tithe. That in itself was a challenge. To get it exactly right without having exact numbers. Over all he thought he'd come up with a suitable number.

He had gathered up everything he thought useful, things to measure angles to plumb bobs to ensure a post was straight. The candidate hadn't paid too much attention when he was told he'd be working with another candidate. He was confident in his abilities. However, he was greatly disappointed as he arrived and saw that most of the work with measuring out the field had already been done. Ugh! He wanted to pout but spotted his apparent help leaning on a shovel. Instead he put on a brave face.

"Hi. I'm Seragee. You're here to help me build the fence?" He set his woodworking tool box down and started pulling out things.

Shiloh turned when she addressed, a curiously resigned expression on her face as she met Seragee's gaze. "Mmhmm, splinters and bruises both." She looked over the equipment that Seragee had gathered and arched a brow, noting the distinct lack of first aid supplies.

There were an awful lot of other tools though... was this a woodworker? Or someone who fancied themselves a woodworker? It was always hard to tell here at the Weyr. "Just how many tools do we need?" This was looking more complicated as the moments went by.

Great. She'd probably miss lunch or dinner because of it.

Sorry for the wait!


He wrinkled his brow as he tried to decipher her cryptic remark. "Uh...." Why did she want splinters and bruises? Maybe to get sympathy from her friends? Seragee tried to pass it off with a shrug after his unintelligent reply.

His attention turned back happily to his tools. He'd get to use a number of them today and that made him happy. His knowledge would be put to good use. Seragee glanced back at her as she spoke up with a question. "Well, measuring tape of course, shovel, chisels to cut the appropriate notches and ends.." He trailed off as he saw her expression and grinned. "It won't be that bad! All the angles are 90 degrees so no fancy maths." Some people hated figures he knew. She might be one of them.

"So what's your name?" He picked up a pair of shovels and passed her one. "It looks like they already marked where they wanted the posts."

I'm so sorry!


"That's a lot to put up fencing..." She replied curiously, quirking a brow, "I thought we were driving stakes into the ground and then hammering planks to them!"

Shiloh took the offered shovel, nodding, "Yeah, looks like it. Seems simple enough. Oh, and I'm Shiloh. What's yours?"

He glanced resigned at the area of the new field. Perhaps he was being a bit optimistic. "Er well yes that is in essence of what we're doing." Perhaps he was trying to over achieve and perhaps gain some brownie points with the riders. Assuming of course he ever found a dragon that wanted him. With a sigh he stood up with his shovel and moved to the first hole. Maybe he'd be lucky and get his brownie points just by completing the fence. Seragee broke the soil for the first hole and started piling dirt.

"Seragee. At least they made it for us I guess."
