"Ugh...unnn..ahh!" Could be heard nof far from a house.
What followed was a thud. Soon after a cloud of dust, conveniently concealing a rather embarrassed Andorian. "Just think Shev. Four years and eleven months to go." He mumbled as he got up on his feet.
Zeria, having heard the commotion came running and stood over him with her hands on her hips. "What are you doing?" She asked, giving him a very penetrating gaze. She was not at all sure about him, he bumbled about and well he looked . . . funny. Blue skin and those things on top of his head that moved when he spoke to her.
"Honestly, I don't know." The Andorian replied. "I guess I needed something to do. It's been a month since we've been here, might as well be useful. Stupid me picked trying to farm. Stupid I say because where I come from is ice as far as the eye can see."
"How do you eat then? What do you eat?" Zeria asked once he was back on his feet. She looked down at the ground at what he was trying to do. He must have lot his balance while trying to cut the wheat with the scythe. "Here, I'll show you." She picked up his hand, placed it on the scythe and with her hand over his in a sweeping motion cut at the wheat. "If you have the blade turned right, it's fairly easy to cut right through it."
"Oh. Well that makes perfect sense." Shev replied. "Well. We have something called a "tuber root". It's a dietary staple. Aslso we have a bread called Hari."
"So does that mean that there are places that are warm enough to grow plants or are these plants that can survive and grow in the ice? Either way I'm guess you weren't in charge of growing the food." Zeria teased him a little bit. "But you will learn, there's plenty of time."
"That's good." Shev nodded. "Gotta have something to do, right?"
"Yes, and you appear to have a lot of time on your hands." Zeria stood upright again and stretched. "Have you eaten afternoon meal yet. Would you like to join me?"
"I'd enjoy that. Thanks." The Andorian said.
