[PQ+] Dripping Red

"That sounds...difficult." Edmund isn't sure how else to describe what Phoebe speaks of. Losing time, especially while Jude had been so young, must have been heartbreaking. But at least it sounds like she wasn't in pain during her time in the garden. Regardless, the thought of it all still sends pangs of sorrow through him. Edmund feels relief when it becomes clear that Dantalion and Phoebe have a better idea of how to create the benches than him. The idea to add them was last minute on the part of the young Ancient and he had intended to just wing their creation with the materials already gathered. This is far better. "I think that's a wonderful idea." Grabbing stone and mortar, Edmund works to add the legs and secure the slabs.  It takes nearly all of them (NPCs included) working together due to the weight of the slabs, but soon the benches are complete. The young Ancient stands on the rim of the bath and regards their work, "Excellent. Now we're getting to the final touches. Let's add a layer of lava stone and mortar along the outer rim." A change in color and material solely for aesthetic reasons. ~ Round 12! Add a layer of lava stone to the rim of the bath! Edmund Reborn In Fire
