Eclipses day had started early, as early as it normally did. She'd taken to trying to ride Buttercup much more after he slight accident down at the bottom of the mountain. She was determined never to fall off the horse like that again, so she'd taken Buttercup out early every morning before her own chores began, which was mostly tending the garden behind the apartments, which was flourishing. They had tomatoes! Even some carrots. There was rhubarb but she decided it wasn't worth eating, it was far too sour, and she didn't know what good would come of it, but it had been an experiment at first so she would learn not to plant certain seeds. there were a few stalks of corn growing, herbs like parsley, basil, oregano, rosemary were doing well also, though she had to figure out what seed was which to begin with. She'd started from scratch basically so the whole thing about it was hard to comprehend. Once she was done with her chores she headed to the barn.

She'd promised to help saul fix it up with a number of people, and that's what she was going to do. When she entered she could see him in the back clearing the old rubble. She went over and wordlessly started helping. She'd remembered the rubble from the apartments and clearing them so she was nearly an expert at clearing and with help it would be far quicker than doing it alone.
