Maybe, when all was said and done, when things simmered down, when time had passed, he'd be more reasonable.
Maybe he'd even be able to reach out to her, to speak with her, as easily as they had that night at the Kraai.
Maybe he'd share what Kia meant to him, how her death was crushing him, how in this moment, he saw Wessex at the cause of that death.
"No." It was all he could summon to say in response, biting back the rest that he wanted to say, swallowing down the hurt, the anger, the (irrational) rage that seemed to be growing the longer he remained glaring staring at her.
Loren's words were enough to get him out of his stewing and on to work. Being the person building the wall between the two, he was able to see them both working, but not even Loren's summoning of a gorilla was enough to crack any emotion other than weariness on his façade.
He went to work, focusing on building the frame first, hammering at the wooden planks to fit them together, before raising them up to fit snugly against ceiling and floor. From there, he'd attach broader sheets that would properly separate the rooms Loren had laid out.
