While inspecting the electrical wiring for the building, Drew found himself close to the EICS office. He noticed the other man stepping inside so he brought his tools with him. Drew set-up near the electrical box before opening it. He glanced back to Joshua and noticed the man counting some of their inventory. The man spoke, but it seemed to be to himself and not necessarily Drew. They didn't seem crazy, though.
Drew let his hands fall from the electrical box before he reached for one of the cans on the ground. "Was this something you were missing? I think I noticed another one by those boxes near the door." One of the cans was placed down beside Joshua. Andrew then offered one of his hands to the handsome man doing inventory. "I'm Drew, by the way. Not sure if we met after arriving." He was happy to meet now, at least.
Location: The EICS Office
Joshua was doing his usual daily round in the EICS office, ticking off the stuff that was there, checking stuff were missing and the usual administration stuff that comes with being in charge of the stock the camp had to survive off. Joshua liked this kind of stuff, he knew some people would find it boring or a waste of their time, but Joshua knew it was important. He knew exactly what the camp had to survivor on, and so if anything were to happen, he would know what they had to solve the issue. He found an enjoyment for stock taking back when he worked in nightclubs.
As he was counting stock, he notice a couple tins of soup were missing. He looked over his paperwork of what came in and out the previous day and notice no-one had signed out the tins of soup. "How am I meant to keep track of all this crap if people can't follow simple rules?" He said to himself not knowing if there was anyone around to hear him.
Noting the look given to him and the words spoken, Drew dropped his hand back to his side. He didn't want to make the other man uncomfortable if he felt that way about touching. They didn't know too much about the way this virus spread. Some things were known, like the bites. But so many other things were still unknown.
There's a nod from Drew as he took the can. It was placed onto the nearby shelf that Joshua gestured to before. Then he returned to that same electrical box from before. Drew resumed his inspection and ensure that each wire was fine. "Valid point. Myself and another guy are working on that problem. We want to have electricity in the building but want to check the wiring first."
Some may of jumped when they heard another's voice speak to them when they thought they were alone. However, Joshua wasn't so easily spooked and as he lifted his gaze from the clipboard to the male, he watched him placing the can by his feet. "That goes over there." Joshua instructed as he pointed his pen he was holding to a nearby shelve.
Joshua wasn't a germaphobe or anything but he wasn't one to freely touch another person. Might be due to being without his husband but Joshua had not touched another since the outbreak. "No touching." He said in a firm tone glancing to the hand offered to him. "Drew who came to fix the electrical box? Good thing someone who finally sent to fix it. How am I meant to take charge of our stock when the lights keep flickering and the fridges keep turning off?"
