Tal was oblivious to Noah's kindly thoughts, but the courier flashed his friend the occasional grin when he paused to wipe the sweat off his forehead or walked past to get more wood. It was like he'd told Hotaru when she'd first informed him that she was leaving: they might choose to live somewhere else for a time, but nothing could change that they were Halovian through and through, no matter what anyone else said or thought.
No less than Noah had still been Halovian, even when living in the Grounds.
The courier might have had plenty of experience with lumber, but he was completely baffled by these tropical thatch roofs. He scratched his head as he watched some locals work to secure the overlapping palm leaves into place, then shrugged and headed over to the pile of windows to help fit them into the frames left for them. Installing the storm shutters was definitely more his speed, and he worked with quick efficiency in spite of the increasing number of yawns that forced him to pause as the sky to the east began to lighten.
Tal helps install windows and storm shutters!
