It was early morning and Xela decided to take on a mission that would especially help her and the village she resided in especially well. Xela will have taken her morning medication and her shower all at once. After the shower she will have eaten and then traveled to the mission desk. She would look at the small list and pick the one mission that would help her with her past failures. Her first task was to travel to the Capital City and that was easy enough.

Xela will have spent a couple hours just walking knowing due to her size she would have help there to help carry the wood shipment back to the village. For that reason she would merely travel there for now drinking from a small water bottle while she had her small gourd of water present for any unnecessary occurrence. She had looked at the many bugs flying about the area as well astonished. She had never been to the capital city. This was in fact her first travel.

Xela would enter the capital city with a smile. It was so peaceful and warm around here. Not to mention it had a nice aroma. She would soon arrive and find the place she needed to enter as she looked at the picture comparing it to the shop as she would see the lumber work and then enter in seeing a horse carriage empty, of course, ready for her to fill it up and then travel down to her village once more. She would begin her work immediately.

Xela and the employees would begin to load up the carriage. They seemed to be fidgety with her around and seemed as though they expected someone more. She wouldn't mind though since she was used to the fact that she had always been judged as such. She would be lifting up the many lumbers as she could, mostly 2 by 4's, as she would carry and then toss in. The others lifted up the heavier planks.

Xela would then be asked to cook them something and she was surprised of this. She remembered though that most people got hungrier than most Aburame clan people. She would shrug and then head off to cook as they finished off the work load. She didn't expect it to be anything sexist related but oh well she didn't mind. She would cooked celery soup with rice dumplings as she saw them enter in. She would then smile and bow as she was glad most of the work was finished.

This was just the morning though and there had to be multiple shipments as a second carriage had already entered but the men and herself were busy eating for now to notice. She would have finished sooner and was glad she used disposable items as she would trash it. She would then go on to work once more. There was more to her work now as she would begin her rounds of the job. Before the others came to help she had already carried the last of the two by fours into the carriage.

Xela would smile as the job in the city would reach mid after noon now as they had worked with minimal breaks. She though didn't take time to get to know the helpers. To her they were just a convenience. She would hear them talking about her hair most of all though. She was surprised it was an unnatural color by their standards though. Most times there were browns and blacks.

She would eventually find their talk uncomfortable but didn't say anything since their work was almost done. She didn't want to ruin the day already since the heaviest pieces were about to be loaded as well. She would help them lift then slide to as she would then sit down having worked up a sweat with two more to go. She would get up though and help out surprised she was so weak in physical strength. However they were soon down.

Xela bowed to them and then turned to leave as she would get onto the last carriage and drive it to the village. She was one to do this mission with peace and now she just had to travel back home. She would take the long way through the plains though as she would travel though an old trail. She was happy and would look around the area with a smile. She would soon see the gates and was surprised she was already home.

After having entered the village gates Xela would head towards the directly furthest construction zone to help them out before anyone else. They would take what they needed and then say thanks to her. She was glad and then went to the next station of construction. She would do this till the carriage ran out of things to do. She saw the first one she had filled was just now entering however. She would smile and swapped the carriages with the poor traveler.

She would then help unload the wood pieces to the first station that was at the entrance of the village. They too needed wood but not as bad as the last station. She would smile at the help she had done for them and would continue to do so. She would then place the last piece of wood at their pile and would bow a gracious one as she would leave from that area. She had been glad she helped out today but now returning the last carriage and then sleep was also important.

Xela would travel back to the capital with the carriage in tow. Upon arriving she would grab a small grilled scorpion to eat as well. She dropped off the carriage and headed back home to her village of the grass. During her travel back she saw more bugs everywhere as she finished up her meal. Once completely done she would decide to sleep in the trees like old times as she finally rested and would mail in the completion work tomorrow morning.
