"A pulley system?" Liam asked with interest, offering a quick smile and a stroke of his fingers along Maea's cheek as she departed. "Sounds useful. But if we're stuck, then sure - flooring it is." While Nikandr worked on providing the planks, Liam took up an armful of the ones that the younger man had already completed and returned to his work. Laying planks was easier than installing beams - particularly since he had taken such care with his measurements and leveling - and time passed by quickly as he worked.
With each trip he made down below to gather more flooring, he offered Niki a kind smile and a word of thanks. It didn't take nearly as long to nail down the floorboards, and with Niki providing the materials, they finished in record time. Liam descended, a light sheen of sweat beading on his brow, with a cup of water for himself and one for Niki. "Water?" he offered, holding out the cool beverage. "Floor's all in. Maea should be back soon."

Liam accepts the help and lays the floor, then offers Niki some water while they wait for Maea!
