Above all shadows rides the Sun
The smile faltered again, doing his best not to picture his city broken, in ruins; trying his best not to feel guilty about not having been there to help when they needed him most. His expression didn't hide it well, a wince of sorrow marring the brightness that he usually wore. "I can't even imagine..." He didn't ask more, unsure he was strong enough to know just yet, not when they still had so much to do before returning.
Zavien, too, would agree that it was a pity Liam had been caught in the Family's snare, still wondering where the error had been made, and when. But for now, he was content to let the man help, certain that they'd be able to build a barrier against the Void creatures that still lingered. He forced a small chuckle, glancing to Liam at his side. "I'm not either, but luckily, we don't have to make anything complicated." Lifting a piece of wood, he offered it forward, pointing one end at a spot in the ground. "Here. Hold this while I hammer it in."
And then the men continued to work, setting out small sections of wall until the afternoon. Then they were thanked with too much food and a good dose of smiles before parting ways so Zavien could wonder as to the condition of his other friends, and the work still to be done.
[FIN]
