I thought you said forever over and over
Liam was so focused on his work on the roof that he hardly noticed what was going on below, but if he had, he would have admired the way Maea tried to subtly allow Niki the chance to rest. With the majority of the structure in place, it was time to start placing shingles, and so the soldier-turned-carpenter began to nail them into place. It was slow, tedious work, but he found that he didn’t mind; the physicality of it was calming, and he settled into a rhythm quickly enough, pausing only to roll up his sleeves as he warmed with the work.
Shingle after shingle went into place, with Maea and Niki feeding him more as they were needed. The sun moved through the sky, the breeze wafted through the branches, and as Liam worked, he found himself at peace. Perhaps this truly was something that would prove to be his calling; perhaps it was time to give up soldiering, once and for all. Not to say that he wouldn’t maintain certain habits, but there was a certain satisfaction with finding some other work to occupy himself that he couldn’t deny. But whatever the future held, the roof was nearly finished, and Liam continued working until the project was completed.
