[color=turquoise]Yes, things were complicated. I apologize for my absence, I assure you such matters have been taken care of and it will not happen again.[/color] John looked up at the group of workers that were attending to the hole in the entrance of the building. He glanced at Bart when he was told to keep an eye on them. [color=turquoise]Do you not trust the people you hired? It wouldn't be good to hire people you dont trust to build the front door to your home.[/color] John would wait for a response before continuing.

[color=turquoise]I have no issue giving them a hand. Construction was my profession for a time. I dont have much to do but I do have a favor to ask. You see, I haven't actually spent time with other guild members aside from Talia. If you have a quest on the board that fits my expertise then let me know please. I'm jot shy for a fight either so if that's all that is available then I don't mind taking it.[/color]

John then secured his tool belt and walked over to a group of workers carrying lumber for the entrance. He helped carried it across to the others. It wasnt exciting work or any kind of adventure but John was actually comfortable in this kind of setting. Being able to help others build reminded him of when he was younger building houses for his small town. He would be sure not to get to comfortable though. Keeping an eye on these workers was his priority and his eyes could spot any fault in their construction.
