This was the best idea for a date.
Admittedly, Daja had not been on a date in... well, she didn't want to think about that. Not because it had been a long time, but because it reminded her of her dead husband. She didn't think of Hakeem as a very jealous person, or that he wouldn't want her to go out and have fun, but this would be the first time since his death that she'd gone on a date with anyone. Best to just push threw it and try to have fun.
And find things. Lots of things. She stood at the lip of the cave, rocking back and forth on her heels and the balls of her feet. In one hand she held a bucket, while in the other a pickaxe. Both were borrowed from a few people in town. The axe she knew would be helpful, the bucket she could only guess. She'd been a blacksmith, not a miner. Still, if ore was to be found, she'd bet that it was in these caves.
And the only thing standing between her and all that ore was some rocks and her pitiable knowledge of geology. Well, that and a partner. She glanced up at the sky, and nibbled on her lower lip. She was early--being rather excited about the prospects of both a date and getting iron. Unfortunately, that meant she had some time to kill before Kuroth showed up. She shifted, feeling her energy build up. After a moment, she glanced over her shoulder looking into the cave. The cave was slightly lit by luminescent fungus, still it wasn't enough for Daja to see very far. Her brow crinkled, if she strained her ears hard enough, she could almost hear something echoing in the dark.
The woman shook her head. No, she was being ridiculous. Just her nerves getting the best of he while she waited for Kuroth.
