All In All It's Just Another Brick In the Wall

Ruga was genuinely surprised when the blue-eyed woman made a comment about not being his type, but gave him a pass to go plow someone so he could work. A snort of laughter left him and he tossed her another grin over his shoulder and replied, "Oh, darling, if I had someone to plow that's exactly where I'd be right now, don't you worry about that." If she had started out this whole thing with comments like that maybe he wouldn't have been so hard on her from the get go. It seemed like he had rattled her up enough to loosen her a bit through so all in all mission felt accomplished. The headache from his hangover was starting to dissipate and he felt slightly more alive now that the water and food he had was working through his system. Perhaps he could be a bit more agreeable for her now.

He went to work on digging out the trench for the second half of their project and after a while of working in silence his ear twitched as she called over to him, making him look up from where he was working to look at her with his light green eyes catching her bright blue. She laid out the idea and rules of a "game" which essentially just equated to sharing facts about one another with the only real rule being that they had to be true. He chuckled softly and gave a little shrug, replying, "Sure, why not." It wasn't like he really had anything to hide anyway. She started them off, telling him about her former island home and how she missed it. "Island girl, eh? Sounds like a much more appealing place to live than this. I could see why you miss it," he replied with another chuckle, tossing her a grin. He kept digging a bit while he decided where to start before he told her, "I didn't really grow up in any particular place. My family was traveling craftsman and just went wherever the work was. We hopped from pack to pack depending on where the fight was usually since those were the places that needed armor the most."
