Compared to most other people in the world - and ol' Mugsy surely hoped that there were more good people alive out there - they were on a three-week luxury cruise in the Carribbean, all expenses paid beforehand. Thana was just wired like that Alexander figured, didn't make her a worse person than anyone else though. Alexander himself saw it differently, thankful for the hopefully watchful eye of God above him. Besides Thana asking Gunny about her brother's whereabouts, there was nothing that was going to stop the amputee-duo from getting straight to work. Even with his prostethic leg still new to him, things were going as smoothly as he could have hoped for. Back and forth he went, carrying miscellaneous junk from the room out to the bins in the hall. While most of it went without much notice from the old veteran, the electronics bits and bobs he payed more attention to as he sorted them out. He hadn't dabbled in the glories of electronic fiddling for years at this point really, so he couldn't help but mutter to himself the names and uses of the various electronics he found in-between whatever conversation he was holding with Thalia. Mostly he did what he was told to do, clear and simple. Cleaning and tidying up, just how he liked it. [color=662d91]"Remind me how you got into the electronics again, dear. You're a hand's on type of lady, still surprises me to this day that we've got that in common. Not that I'm complaining, I miss talking to a fellow buzz-brain."[/color] Alexander asked Thalia in a casual manner, at the moment coming back from the hall to find another corned fill with spiderwebs that needed brooming. The new leg had done its job rather well all things considered, that Tesla deserved another thanks when he met him. He stood with his back to Thalia as he tangled the cobweb up with the broom, calmly enjoying his time doing something constructive for once and waiting for Thalia's answer. It had been long since he had conversed about such mundane topics such as one's background, well except for Manny, it was a common subject for them now. Thalia not so much, even for their friendship.

He, handy and useful? Nigel couldn't help but give her a brief smile back before returning to the task at hand. He'd spent too much time around people who didn't understand or made fun of him, so for now this was a nice change of pace. Except the humidity. By Neptune's wet beard it was nearly worse than the swamp. Thankfully the last sheet was soon raised and wrapped up by Nigel, letting in a gentle breeze through the netting which Nigel hadn't noticed before. The former farm boy held up his hand and gently felt the netting, still convinced that he'd view this as a Great Wonder. These people really had it figured out. [color=#B8860B]"Oh yeah, I get it. Either you'd get a leak or contaminated water. Worse than it can be purified anyhow."[/color] Nigel voiced his thoughts on the water issue, though raised his brow like Thana had done to him at the mention of Newnan. Thana was quick to fill him in on the basics however, which Nigel clearly hadn't known of before. It had been too many years since he'd been a substitute for a geography class. [color=#B8860B]"It sounded bad then. Was that were the other group came from, if I may ask?"[/color] Nigel didn't anticipate a conclusive answer to his questioning, after all what right did he have to ask about the others? Therefore he didn't wait long after being handed the list of things they needed to start bringing them in. [color=#B8860B]"Sure, no problem. I'll be right back."[/color] Nigel would head out and get the wheelbarrow, wheel it over to the shed and begin filling it with all they needed. He recognized a bunch of the items, more the tools and soil and less the chemicals. It had been years since he'd done any farm work, and even then he hadn't done much himself. Back and forth Nigel wheeled, at one time noticing a golfcart driving past him with Nikki and Amelia in it. While he didn't know them too well, Nigel raised his hand and attempted to give them a wave, however unlikely it would be that they noticed him too. His sweaty face must have reflected the sun like a lighthouse though. [color=#B8860B]"It wasn't anything like this one, that's for sure."[/color] Nigel answered Thana's question, putting down a bag of soil from the wheelbarrow and wiping his forehead of sweat. [color=#B8860B]"It was a small farm, mostly dealt in smalltime livestock and wheat. Never spent much time helping though. Mom was a vet and dad didn't want me in the way. Well, except in the shop I guess. Spent many hours of my life making horseshoes and such."[/color] Nigel regretted not learning more about farming from his time home, but reminded himself of what he had said about not being in the way. And besides he learned enough by drifting in the woods as he did. [color=#B8860B]"May I return the same question to you, or how you fit in here in the gardens. You have the knowledge of this after all, that much I can see."[/color]
