Cassie smiled slightly when Sally plopped the large cat into Serix's lap and she could see that Serix wasn't sure what to say at first. The cat sat there in a mild manner way (probably used to being tossed about by the young girl) and even layed down in his large a moment, giving a small 'mew' and a yawn. When Serix said he liked the cat, it was adorable how the girl beamed even more happily. It took away the tension in the room for a moment in time and let everyone relax a little bit. But that didn't last long, as the girl soon took the cat away and scampered off to put him up again. She watched the young girl hurry away and then turned her attention to Ryan as he spoke to her.

He talked about getting her introduced into doing some of the jobs here and of course Serix cleared his throat as if to let Ryan know he should be included as well. Ryan didn't like that idea though and looked at Serix in an annoyed way. He didn't wan to include Serix in the jobs yet, but Cassie didn't see the problem in doing so. It wasn't like in doing jobs he was going to hurt anyone. She was fairly sure Ryan was acting like this just to get on Serix's nerves and Cassie in turn give Ryan an annoyed look to show she disagreed with his view. Along with Serix speaking against it as well, Ryan gave in and said he could come along. Good, because after Serix got into that fight yesterday, she wasn't leaving her husband alone with these people just yet.

When he held out his hand to her to hep her up from where she sat, she rolled her eyes and took the hand, standing up, though once she was up immediately let go and took Serix's hand. She didn't want to give either of them the wrong idea. She didn't want Serix to get jealous and she sure didn't want to encourage Ryan either. Hi was an all around difficult situation for her. She just wished these two could get along with each other and be civil at least while they were around her. 

Sighing she walked with Serix in tow, following Ryan as they made their way through the caves, Ryan speaking to them.

"Most people around here works in the farm growing food. Its where we get most of our food supplies from so of course that's going to be one of our main jobs. Then of course we have the people that cook and fix meals. And people who wash the dishes after."

"Where do they get the water to water the plants and wash the dishes with?" She asked, curiously. Surely they didn't get all their water for all that with water bottles?

Chuckling Ryan turned down into a part of the cave they hadn't gone into the day before, "We didn't show you this place yesterday because its a pretty large area of the caves and easy to get lost in with newcomers. You really shouldn't come down here unless its with one of us." Stepping down into the deeper caverns, he helped Cassie down off the small ledge as well. Once they were down, Cassie could hear what she swore was rapidly flowing water and sure enough, when Ryan turned on the lanterns that were hanging on the walls of the caves, she could see that it really was flowing water. 

An underground river. 

Ryan moved over to the edge of the water, "We gather water from here for all sort of jobs and tasks. We gather the water from this section of the river, and then down river if where we bathe and all." He pointed downriver to show where he meant and then continued, "This place is a big part of our survival here, but its also dangerous with the rapids upsteam," He pointed further up on the opposite side he had pointed before, "Never go up there. There's not enough footage and people have almost died being stupid enough to go up there." He turned to her, and lead the two back out of the lower section of the caves, helping Cassie up the rocks until they were on the more steady passages and heading back up to the main caverns.

"Other than those main jobs, we have the Scavengers. They're the ones who go out and grab supplies. Right now we have two teams that switch out for each raid. Team One consists of me, Hunter, Gunner, Conner, and Monty. We're the ones who brought you back here. Team Two is Jake, Quiny, Ron, Wes, Sarah, and Jerry. They go out once a month with those trucks you saw and bring is stockpiles for us. Right now with what we have we could last at least a year without going out, but we go once a month anyway just in case there does come a time where we can't go out."

Stopping he finally turned to them, "We'll start you out in the farm for now until you get adjusted. Sarah, Jerry, Tori, and Hunter should be there now. I have to go talk to Jake so I'll meet up with you later Cass." He said nothing to Serix and when Cassie nodded and turned to leave with Serix, Ryan made sure to give the Lunairan a glare before leaving. 

Once they were at the farm, Jerry was the one to approach the two, a grin on his face, "Ah, so Ryan sent us the newbs to put to work." He stuck the shovel he had been holding in other ground and leaned on it, "I don't know if thats sch a good idea. It takes a [i]pretty[/i] skilled person to put seeds into the ground. What do you think, Victoria? Think they can handle it?" The red head looked over his shoulder to the young woman with black hair who smiled quietly and nodded, "Okay, the Queen gave her judgement." He bowed silently toward Tori, which made her laugh silently and shake her head. At the sight he had made her laugh, Jerry smiled more and looking to Cassie and Serix again, he picked up the shovel he had been leaning on and tossed it to Serix, "You can start digging holes for us to plant in. Cassie can put the seeds in."

With those instructions, Jerry went back to work. Cassie shrugged, grinning up at Serix and then went to work with Serix planting seeds, Tori going behind them to water them. At one poit Cassie had turned to go down another aisle of plants and ran right into Tori. She gasped and smiled apologetically, "Sorry. You okay?"

Tori just smiled back and nodded, which confused Cassie as to why she didn't answer. Sarah, apparently noticing this as well called to Cassie from across the room, "Yo! Castiel! Come help grab some of these tomatoes to plant!" Nodding and walked over, Cassie grabbed the seeds and when she did, Sarah spoke quietly to her, "Tori's mute. She doesn't talk. Until you can really understand her from her body language just make sure me or Jerry's around to translate what's she's trying to say."

Cassie looked at her, "You and Jerry must be able to understand her well?"

Sarah shrugged, "Jerry married her. So she's basically my sister. We've spent the most time with her over the years. She's already a shy girl, so that doesn't really help the others to under stand her when she wants to communicate something. But if your around her enough you'll start to see signs when she is." Sarah waved her with her hand, "Now, go get back to work. Those seeds won't plant themselves."

Cassie rolled her eyes with a slight smile at Sarah's personality. She had to sat she was getting used to it. She shrugged and went back over to the holes Serix was digging, plopping some seeds in. Looking up at him, she ginned up at him, "How you holding up Serix?"
