Moth stood abruptly, pushing his hair back with one hand and clutching his calculator in a death grip with the other.

"Um yes sir...ma'am...miss foreman...forema'am!  Uh...[i]you![/i]"

Moth smiled hugely and playfully punched her on the arm.  Following the absolute, stony silence, his smile froze and he could feel his entire body burning red with embarrassment.  His heartbeat rumbled in his head and he wanted to crawl in a hole and disappear.  Or was that thunder?

"I...I have the reports in order, and I've been tasked to--AHEM--to um, go over a few budgetary concerns that have come to [i]light[/i] over the past few months, and, uh...miss...ma'am?"

He could tell the forewoman's attention was wandering and he was subconsciously thankful for it.  Moth followed her gaze, out over the Wall, to an almost invisible hollow in the distant pastures.  O...kay.  Maybe she [i]really[/i] liked grass.
