Iskra glances back over towards Erika as both Zavien and Thorn confirm she is strong-willed. It’s all spoken with enough friendliness not to be daunting, and it’s little surprise to him truthfully with so many strong women being present throughout his life, but it’s helpful to confirm this isn’t a one off. It seals some caution in him so that he can lay low and avoid the path of her notice where he can. ”Noted,” he laughs mildly as the work continues with the brick laying.
Groaning with a newfound weariness for atypical work pulling on less used muscle groups, Iskra stretches as they finish up the first floor. Partway through reaching above his head into a tall and limbering reach, he can’t help the laugh that escapes as Erika does a final sweep before leaving them be.

Coming back the next morning with Goose in tow, the dog peels away to find Sol and initiate a game of chase around a nearby wheelbarrow, invigorated by the weather. Iskra pulls his light rainjacket up, not needing cold and wet to add to tired muscles today. ”Morning,” he greets with a nod to everyone while scoping out the work for the day.
”I got fire magic!” he offers up when Zavien mentions it. ”I’ll stick with the brick walls then, and make sure the fire doesn’t get near the scaffolding.” Thorn’s air magic would prove helpful with this too, and at least the weather offers an outer barrier of moisture. So as Iskra settles into assisting with the second floor wall, he adds a new step today, sending the brush of his fire to rush along the layer of brick and mortar to help ensure it dries at a rate similar as yesterday.
