[ Breaking rocks is a great way to pass time, okay. The greatest. It's productive (sort of) and it gets your blood flowing and all the aggressions out in the open... Aidan is very good at breaking rocks. It's a hidden talent of his.
Of course, he's also human and humans need a break from time to time to breathe and wipe sweat out of their forehead and wonder if going without a shirt will bite him in his ginger ass later. Saying hi to familiar faces is also a thing that can happen. ]
