[PQ+] Branching out

Maea

I feel it in the wind, my dear
The sun is gonna reappear

"I don't mind at all," Maea assured, snatching the note from Niki's hand before he could insist any further. "It's my job to ensure all the supplies are here, so just leave it to me." Not to mention, she would likely be quicker, given her ability to fly. There was plenty of work to do in the meantime, between sawing planks and building the platform, then starting on the framework for the walls... It was an ambitious idea to get all of it done in a single day, but she had faith in their ability to get through.

Hearing footsteps on the porch above, Maea turned to greet Liam with a smile as he came down to them. "Niki's a genius, so we're doing really well," she replied, throwing a playful grin at the young man. "I'm off to get supplies so we can make a pulley system for lifting up materials. Be careful up there - don't get hurt while I'm gone!" Pressing a kiss to her fingertips and touching Liam's cheek, she ducked low under the planks and shifted. Pale wings carried her off with the note clutched in the beak, leaving the boys to manage themselves in the meantime.

Choose between working together or separately, and whether you prioritise the platform or the pulley!

Good days are gonna come along
Hold on, hold on!
