She nods almost grimly at Maeve's reassurances, not wholly convinced and that reads easily on her features. But the Nightshade has hidden strength, and Aurelia is not so quick to forget that. So, she makes no further argument.
Aurelia is both surprised and pleased to see Seren here, to find the daughter of Safrin among their crew. There would be no one better to give an opinion on matters of crafting an entire building in the goddess' honor. Hopefully, though, there are no aggregious wrongs with what Aurelia and Maeve already have planned. Which is.. quite a lot already, if they do say so themselves. As for Ray, Aurelia offers the other Attuned a beaming smile in greeting, glad to see a truly friendly face in the morning's early light.
Though there is not much time left to dawdle and greet, as there is lots of work ahead of the girls (this is literally just pure girlpower let's gooo).
Since there isn't a fifth person Aurelia takes longer with her supplies than the others, though not because she runs into any difficulties. In fact, things go pretty smoothly for her. The horses are obedient and sure-footed, ensuring that the concrete does not fall from the wagon. But she does need to make multiple trips to gather everything, so she is the last one to finish her task.
Meanwhile, @Seren finishes her workload the quickest and the most efficiently. She gathers plenty of marble and glass, all of it of high quality and beautiful design (as specially ordered). With her Gravity Pulse, the horses barely even break a sweat (although she might? who knows). All in all, she does a fabulous job and not a sliver of glass or marble was broken in the process.
@Ray has worse luck than any of them, unfortunately. While she succeeds in gathering more than enough materials, and her mind is surely in the right place (bless you, Ray), the wheelbarrow she chose was probably the worst one they had. The wheel gets stuck at every little divet in the road... of which there are so many. Tough luck, Ray, but you do make it out in one piece!
Last in order but not least in execution, @Maeve returns just after Seren does with practically the whole city following at her heels. Well, maybe not so many people. But she's drawn a large crowd with her quicksilver tongue and charm. Maybe some of them are merely here because they are good sumaritans, others? Well, others just want a free visit to the Halenani.
Those others that drool a bit too obviously over Maeve will receive harsh warning glares to keep them in check, by none other than Aurelia of course. To distract these workers and give them all something to do, Aurelia quickly sets them to work at gather tools and safety things, and sending them off to finish unloading the wagons.
[say]"Alright! That wasn't so bad, was it?"[/say] She huffs, hands placed at her hips as she regards the main trio. [say]"Next, the foundation and the walls,"[/say] she directs them, [say]"We'll split up into pairs and split the help to get it all done. Do not forget to use the scaffolding,"[/say] she warns seriously, [say]"I don't want anybody getting hurt."[/say] She eyes Maeve particularly, but this does go for all of them. [say]"With how tall these walls are being built... we can't be too careful."[/say]
Aurelia sets to work on helping build the foundation, guiding workers to supply the mortar and stones. Foundation trenches have already been dug, and scaffolding is soon to follow the wake of the construction.
Round 1 was 99% success!
Round 2:
- 1 to help Aurelia with the stone foundations
- 2 to start on the stone walls
