"Ah, you two are already back? It's only been a day, hope you're not expecting an entire backpack full of ore"
and Petra are back in the dungeon speaking with the mine master Jaxon, both of us thought it would be good idea just to check quickly to see if things haven't gone completely to shit.
It's honestly a little surprising how even just a day of progress can make things different down here. Near one of the pillars, it seems that all eleven bed rolls are around a burnt-out campfire with the barrels next to it, a sleeping bit down here would be expected though. What isn't is that they've already gotten tree logs down here and are starting the first section of an uncompleted mineshaft, this kid definitely knows what he's doing.
As for last night, still couldn't share a bed with Petra just yet even after our love confession, did co very close to suggesting it though. I seriously reckon give it a week or two, sleeping together could be very much possible, I do wonder who might be in the 'spoon' position but I'd be happy with it either way...
(Petra) "Nothing like that"
(Ikarus) "Yeah we're just visiting... so anyways, how's it going then Jaxon? Any issues co up yet?"
Maybe we might appear over eager but it's not exactly like there's anything else going on. As much as I love romantic things with Petra and all, feel like my heart would give up if we spent too much ti with a goal in mind, mostly because that's when all the romantic stuff seems to happen. It would make sense that it would happen in our relaxed tis but still, I've got to be careful otherwise I think I'll end up loving this woman too much, might get clingy or sothing like that.
"Nothing too major but there is a slight one actually, the workers you've employed really haven't got a clue what they're doing"
It seems two of the vocal four who are currently down here have sothing to sothing to say about Jaxon's comnt, they might be smashing rocks in the work in progress mineshaft right now but that still doesn't ss up their hearing.
"That scrawny little shit sohow shows all of us up"
"Yeah, that kid is misleading as hell! How can soone as weak as him smash rocks that easily?"
Great, I feel like I'm going to have to do sothing if these lot are referring to their boss as kid or little shit, he seems to have a response lined up for their complaining though.
"Shut your wagging tongues and get back to work! You don't want to put in a bad word to our wealthy backers, do you? I wonder how much money we could save if you want to keep it up"
"Yessir"
"Fine"
It's a really good thing this kid has a backbone and also sounds pretty strict, even if he is misleading as hell. Seriously though, you would think soone this scrawny couldn't do such a physical job, I still can't get over it.
"Now back to what I was speaking about, the slight problem is food. While we've got more than enough and the quality is excellent, it might be better to focus more on things that can be preserved for a long ti like more of the ats and for stuff which isn't, only focus it around protein-based things like eggs and milk. Need to whip these lot into shape so sweets and things like that for these lot aren't deserving"
Oh, that wasn't what I was expecting, was thinking more along the lines of there might be dangerous animals around, not him pointing out the food isn't the greatest for building muscle. I an, cake does have eggs in so it's kinda protein based? Forget it though, next ti I'll make it less varied and more boring, at's good and all but too much salt can be overwhelming, at least for my tastebuds but obviously not for those muscle gains.
I'm also sure I heard a few of the lot smashing into the ore grunt at his comnt there, they are working for a good wage after all so shut it and don't moan! It's not exactly like I didn't give you bottles and bottles of alcohol to get through as well so losing cake privileges isn't the end of the world. Hang on, if I had to choose between cake or alcohol, what would I choose?... That's like an impossible challenge! If Petra were involved in that choice, then there wouldn't be much of a choice but can't decide if they're only the two options.
"Understandable, we'll keep that in mind next ti"
"You know that's a little ironic kid?"
While I also understand what he's getting at like Petra, that last thing he said about whipping them into shape is a little bit funny, shouldn't he be doing the sa? It's not exactly like he's got much muscle despite clearly being the best miner down here.
"Ah, got a slight condition that causes my body this way, unsure what it's called but I've never been able to build up physical muscle"
Oh, well now I feel bad bringing it up even if he sounded perfectly fine ntioning it, I guess his strength cos from sothing else then? Maybe his muscles are small but dense? This is stupid, not going to ask further about sothing like that.
Thinking about it though, I haven't checked his status out yet, already know it won't be high but I'm still curious.
'Status'
[Na: Jaxon | Species: Human | Level: 6]
[Health 300/300]
[Stamina 258/300]
[Magicka 0/0]
'Never judge soone on their numbers, even if they're pretty low... I need to get him to kill sothing as so point to help him out though... hey Aesa, how would he be able to last a day mining and not pass out half way through? You'd think his stamina would be too low to mine, he seems to be involved as much as the others anyway then just doing advising work'
I ask that simply because of how much it seems to drain, you'd think having stamina that low wouldn't even last a day.
