Tal didn't jump when Soleil arrived. The fact that he tripped and almost fell over a stray brick was entirely unrelated to her cheerful and completely unexpected greeting. Of all the people he figured might show up to lend a hand, well... his adventurous new guildmate hadn't been high on the list.
And now he felt a little bad about that. But it was still weird seeing little Sol all grown up and--
"Uh... hi?" Her wink left him feeling more than a little flabbergasted and only the broken chair in his hands kept him from reaching up to scrub furiously at the back of his neck. Aside from the fact that he was, like, three times her age - er, had been? - the fact that she was Sah's daughter added an extra layer of weirdness to the interaction, and he turned to Alys with painfully obvious relief for the distraction she offered. "Alys! Have you met Sol? She's Sah's daughter," he offered by way of introductions as Boreal dropped the chunk of wood she'd been carrying dangerously near Tal's foot so she could pad over to the Seer and press her head against Alys's thigh, rumbling a happy greeting to her friend.
"Yeah, it's gonna take some work, but it's not too bad," the courier assured them, setting the broken chair down outside and looking back with keen eye for the potential of the building. "The bones are still sound, mostly. It looks worse'n it is. One good day's push should get it ship-shape! First thing we gotta do is get all the broken stuff out, though, so we can start fixin' what's left."
Round 1:
Clear away the debris inside the building!
No posting order!
