ISKRA
It's always the offer that's the hardest to make, like getting up on cold mornings to go run, that first push back of the covers always the hardest. Well, that and not snoozing the alarm. Once he does it though, he's always glad, because seeing the way relief blooms into something bold enough to be hope on Zavien's face is something better to sip on than beer. Their hands meet, and Iskra nods to answer the rhetorical question.
Although, wouldn't it be a damn funny sike! moment? Mel would be proud, at least.
He doesn't take Zavien's moment of quiet as anything but the gathering of thoughts, arranging what maybe has only been a jumble in his mind until now, finally spoken aloud with more intent than it seems like words should do. Thing is, words make it real, and they make you shape your thoughts into something concise and understandable, tying up fringes into seams.
"Well," Iskra starts, fingers tugging throughtful on his beard. "Can't say I'm a carpenter or anything of the sort by trade, but I can do my fair share and definitely organize shipments from Halo once I get back there tomorrow." He could assemble quick, not exactly having anything time sensitive other than a date to plan, but Mel surely is running about fucking with various monsters in the meanwhile. "When do you think you need it by? This season, next, ?"

Never caught a feelin' this hard — harder than the liquor I pour
