NIKI
"Hm? Oh, I will survive," Niki says with a smile towards Maea, though it's true that this is probably harder than he's pushed himself in quite some time. (Lol that 5 STR/END). As she lays out the last steps for the workshop completion - which is, naturally, the roof, he finds her suggestion to be entirely practical, even if she is also trying to sneak in a chance for him to rest.
"I can do that," he assures her. "A lot better than I can shift shingles or climb up to lay them, anyway." And so with their roles in place, Niki gets himself over to the brand new door he's mounted, opening it the whole way so that they are able to access the pulley. It takes work, naturally, and he's careful not to stand too close lest he topple out of the treehouse entirely, but with two perfectly functioning arms, he's able to operate the pulley until all of the shingles are on the upper level with them.
Niki operates the pulley!

my body's on the line now, I can't fight this time now
I can feel the light shine on my face
