Liam
And I feel like my castle's crumbling down
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
Liam chuckled as Maea arrived, smiling at her affectionately as she entered the clearing with Shii at her heels. "I think you're right on time," he told her. "Not sure what that makes me." He might have said more, or perhaps done something romantic like reach for her hand to tug her into a hug - but at that moment, Kaisel appeared and went to town on the pastries, leaving Liam to watch the young dragoon with a bemused expression. He shot Maea a wink before making his way over to greet Kaisel - and, when he appeared, Remi.
Nodding in agreement, the soldier added to Remi's explanation. "And if you're wondering who's going to visit the Greatwood in general to train, then you haven't been paying attention," he said wryly, but not unkindly. "It used to be that people could stay in their home region and train there - but these days, we're all a lot more mobile. If you haven't gotten used to different climates and terrain, you're at a disadvantage."
With that lesson offered, Liam stepped back from the table to size up their group. "Thank you all for coming," he rumbled, rubbing the back of his neck uncomfortably. He'd never been one that aspired to a leadership role, and was much more comfortable following orders than giving them. Still, this had been his idea, and he was going to see it through to fruition. "As you know, we'll be building training grounds today. The trick will be making it one with the forest - we don't want to piss off the trees or the Fae. That means we're working with what we have and adding to it. No chopping down trees or digging up roots.
"The clearing should work well, but right now, it's covered in leaves and rocks. Let's start by clearing that away. There are rakes over there -" He gestured towards a pile of tools. "And I thought we could stack the rocks over here, in case we can make use of them later. So, er - whenever you're done with breakfast, let's get started."

Let's start by clearing the ground! Two people can rake up leaves, and two people can collect stones. No post order!
