Gideon stepped forward and looked past Aria at the queue. There were women and even children among them, which made him narrow his eyes slightly.
"I don't think construction work is suitable for children and women," he said.
He was not deeply familiar with the field, but there was a reason it was still dominated by men.

"Some are signing up for cooking, hunting, and other tasks. As for the children, they can help with lighter work like cleaning the tents."
She gestured to the booth. "I set this up to make registration easier based on what they want to do."
"I see. Make sure you explain the benefits I told you about," Gideon said.
Honestly, he had expected her to assign roles based purely on skill. Choice was a luxury for a group this small.
"I already told them," she said with a grin.
Then her attention shifted to William. "Who's this? A friend of yours?"
