DWARVES - Barzûn

Barzûn sat down discontentedly as the Dwarves broke for lunch. Although he knew that they would have to eat, he wished they would not take so long with the food. He ate his quickly, then stood watching the others while they ate. Many of them sped up their eating when they saw that he was watching.

Soon, the others finished their lunches. Barzûn barked at them to get back to work and planning. One or two groaned and another asked if they might call it a day.

"We still have planning," Barzûn growled, "The settlers would like to have a town to keep them warm when the winter comes. We should at least have the plans finalized by then."

The other Dwarves silently and sullenly consented and the group went back over to plan. Barzûn looked at the settlers as they went back over to the maps. It seemed as though everyone was working. Those that were not working seemed to be eating a quick lunch. They finished speedily and returned to their labor. At least the Humans were steady workers. So were the Dwarves once they got to work.

But they still were Humans. The Dwarves would prove to be better builders. That was why they had to get the plans finalized quickly. Without plans, they could not start to build the town.

Barzûn studied the plans with the other Dwarves for a second, clearing his mind. The latest plans were not the strongest, probably because the Dwarves had been hungry when they drafted them. He squinted and looked at the design, trying to think of a better idea.

"Now you see how we began to put this house here?" Barzûn began, "That would destroy our ideas to have that shop..."

The Dwarves focused, picking up around where they left off before lunch, working hard and diligently. Barzûn let the fleeting thought that this project just might work flutter quickly through his head before concentrating his attention back on the plans as the sun moved rapidly overhead, the afternoon growing later and later.
