nothing heals old wounds like opening fresh ones
Digging holes was simple, boring, but simple. It required almost no thought, which made Nate doubly glad when Melita actually answered him, the mood that had been clinging to her face apparently gone for the moment. "I'm Nathaniel. Nate, if you want." A grin far brighter than hers spread over his face as he introduced himself.
It only grew as her shovel broke, though he nobly managed to keep himself from laughing, managing to actually focus on his own hole until she had returned with a replacement shovel. "At least we're doing better than the others." He joked, to the room instead of just Melita this time. "Do you think they got swept away?"
With Remi far faster at digging than him, Nate gave Melita her chance to conquer the earth and looked around for something else. Boxing clubs needed heavy bags, or something similar. And there were more bags around, though they didn't look nearly sturdy enough to hold anything in them. Nate collected as many as he could, then started to put them together, double lining the bags and using loose threads from the scraps of some other fabric to reinforce the seams. It wouldn't be pretty, but it should be effective.
Nate finishes his hole and starts working on making heavy bags.
