He listened to Sah's politely affable conversation and Nova's effervescent answers and the easy charisma with which she charmed the Fae. He straightened and popped his back while they waited for her helpers to return, and he studied the young woman with a glint of humor in his emerald eyes. "You have your mother's charm," he noted solemnly, his serene facade betraying only a hint of his indulgence for one of his lady's children.
Hadama acceptedSah's apology with an understanding inclination of his head. There was no rush on the repairs; their only limit was the light, though the sun was moving into early evening now and soon the air would begin to cool. Still, the Tidebreaker's patience was long, and it was rewarded with the Wild Thunder's application of air magic. The new boards obtained by Nova's admirers were indeed a better quality, and Sah cut through them quickly once they were measured out. This time it went much faster when Hadama fitted them into place, and they left some of their helpers to finish the railing as the wingless folk walked up the rest of the way to the Observatory Shrine at the top of the great tree.
There did not seem to be any malicious damage from the Void, but the seasons of neglect had taken their toll. There were shingles missing from the little roof above the altar, shriveled vines still with a hint of decayed purple wrapped around the railings and blocking the path to the altar, and the lanterns hung around the upper deck were tattered or missing entirely. Hadama considered the work ahead, but did not seem displeased. "It is not as bad as I feared," he admitted slowly, gaze sweeping across the issues and tallying them in his head. "I will clear away the remains of the Void corruption. Will one of you replace the shingles above the altar? And the other find replacements for the lanterns?"
Round 3!
We've made it to the Shrine itself!
Dama will handle those nasty dead Void vines.
He needs one person to work on the roof repairs for the protective awning over the altar.
He needs the other one to go to the Sidhe Village and bargain for, buy, wheedle, or otherwise obtain some new lanterns
Hadama accepted
