Zach's eyes widened in surprise. "Miss Viola?" She said aloud, why the hell would I know where she is? Do I look like her keeper? Bah. That being said, this WAS Zach's job after all, doing the bidding of others. A lowly servant to all who wasn't as clumsy, who had more talent and education, than her. "Uh, I'll..." Before Zach could finish her sentence, Blu cut her off. 'Real work? Was the first sarcasm then? I guess she did have a glint of annoyance in her eye when I spoke to her. Everyone does. Wait a second real work? She needs something from me?' Zach's fingers went nervously up to her ponytail, which always held her knotted, wavy hair. "Yeah, yeah I can do that. I'll uh, get right on it." Somewhere stuck between annoyance she had to do something for someone, and happiness someone actually needed her for once, Zach's expression was peculiar, and so was her tone. "I'll be right back, Blu."
Turning around, Zach cringed. Using someones nickname that you weren't really friends with was definitely strange. Not to mention Zach was much lower of a rank, and a person, than Blu. Keeping her head down and hands in her jacket pockets, she made her way to the shed. Her olive jacket was much too big, a man's cut, but she had come up with it. This was all she had left of her past life anyway as her dress she had come up with under it was worthless in this kind of environment. She needed pants and a warm shirt for the work she did. Trudging past the breakfast tent, her stomach growled. But Zach had eaten a considerable amount of food the night before, and her guilt was enough to skip her meal until lunch or dinner time.
The rough wood of the shed was always a site to be admired by Zach, the oldest builders had made it. Although it wasn't as grand as the other buildings, the simple little shed that held up and did what it was made for. Keeping the end of her sweatshirt sleeve over her hand to not get a splinter, Zach opened the shed and stepped inside. At first, the beaten up tools along the wall glinted in the sun and actually looked kind of pretty, but the silent moment was a little lost when a loud snore and rustle of a woman curled up in the corner brought her out of thought. "Viola?" Opening the shed door wider Zach stood there. Then laughed. "Ah, I killed two birds with one stone!" Can't believe my luck, I bet Blu will be proud of me. Looking at the pitiful, almost sick looking, well-known builder, Zach smiled. There was someone in the world doing worse than she was. "Hey! Hey! Viola get your skinny ass up! If you're sick go to the medics, and keep your distance. I don't need any bug going around here. I got work to do." Leaning against the door, Zach pointed out. "If you ain't sick then you best be getting a move-on to do your work as well! You know the rules, pull your weight! Get up!"
