As they worked their way to higher ground, they left flooded ground behind, crossed muddy trails that wound every which way through streets and off out of the city. It didn't take long before her legs burned with the effort of pulling her feet free with every step. The smell of churned up mud, brine and rotting debris baking in the sun made her eyes water; it was the single trait of the Ascended she missed these days. Lacking sense of smell.
Before long, the sound of hammers and saws and the shouting of voices met them, and Maea looked between the shelters being erected, and a growing mound of stacked supplies some distance away, where volubteers dropped off what they had to offer.
"I'm more inclined to pick up a hammer," she admitted to Lena, and paused to consider the options. "Do you have a preference on where you'd like to go?"

Hope if everybody runs
You choose to stay
You choose to stay
