"Huh, there are blue prints, material orders, and even who to hire to do the work. I guess this will be easier than I expect." The large book of papers even had dates for when and where to send them. The first few days had her running around for hours to deliver the right papers to the right people. The crafters\' guild was not open in the least but it had already become the place for builders to gather. 

"Stella, we have to head to the crafters\' guild. I know it\'s just a forge building for now but that\'s where we will get our workers. I can send the material orders to the merchants from there too." Stella looked excited to be heading out. They had arrived back in Genesis just that morning on orders. It was unfortunate that they could not see the party but Elise already knew that there was an issue to deal with when it came to the merfolks survival. 

"Make sure you help the little one fly too." The small hatchling had finally begun to flap its wings now and then. Stella had started to bring it with her in the air so that it could get used to gliding. This was perfect early training so that it could fly faster and with more skill later in life. 

The pair left the mansion since that was where they had gone first. Walker\'s mother had been leaving herself and told them to take any of the rooms and to stop by her new bakery later for a snack. 

"Honey, I know you have time off before you take full control as an inner guard captain. And I am very proud that you were able to move up. Guarding the Genesis building is already an honor for our family. But you need to stop coming here for lunch. You are going to eat all the bread!" Garret was currently being reprimanded by Hilda. This wasn\'t the first time he had shown up since starting the new job. 

"But your bread gets better every time I eat it. How could I just walk by without stopping at the best bakery in all of Genesis?" 

"You know I am the only bakery in Genesis, right? But those sweet words still won\'t win you anything. If you have time to eat then you have time to head out and hire me some assistant and a night baker. I\'m already busy enough making private orders and can\'t even open the doors for walk by customers." Hilda needed the help so that she would be able to fully open. Part of her was already brainstorming an addition to the kitchen since they were going to need to expand. "Good thing we have more space behind us. They really took care of us when they set up these shops for everyone." 

"It was a wise decision. I will see how Lisa is doing. I know a few guards that need their uniforms patched." Garret tried his best to sneak out but was forced to take wanted notices for new employees. "And I will post these at the adventurers\' guild where people might send their friends." He ran out of the door quickly while Hilda just shook her head at him. 

"And that is how you pre-seed a garden." Gil\'s mother was looking over her hard work. Many of the seeds wouldn\'t get damaged by the cold and would do better to start growing as the season warmed. Part of the upside of quick seasons in their area was that plants would be able to grow earlier when the ice and snow thawed. 

"I would say you have more than done a perfect job. Just look at the walking paths you have marked out already. The garden is more of a nature trail now. If you keep expanding this then I will be able to hunt here." Gil\'s father laughed a little at his own joke but had not realized he had just volunteered himself. 

"Perfect, you can be on pest duty. I want any mice, rats, and rabbits dealt with before they nibble on my fruits. If even one strawberry is eaten then I will go looking for another garden hand." The threat sounded much more serious than it really was. Gil\'s father was ready to slap himself knowing he had an additional job to do instead of being able to go out and hunt. 

"And I swear, if you even try and go hunting with your friends again this week I will make sure that bow of yours is rubbed with poison ivy leaves." This was the real threat that hit home with Gil\'s father. He had been too excited to hunt a new area and was abusing his free time instead of being home. 

"Of course I will stay here and help in the garden. I know that Gil should be home any time and I need to make sure I help him with his archery academy and maybe even guild. I need to be responsible." The act didn\'t fool his wife though and he was promptly sent to walk the garden on the hunt for pests.
