We can be the kings and queens of anything, if we believe.
Stepping back to inspect her work as the final door was properly fitted, balanced and hung, Seren took a moment to stretch out her back. It was more fiddly than complicated, but with a bit of luck none of the doors would have to be adjusted until after the next monsoon season, when the new building had been given time to set.
"Thank you! Want me to get started with the funishings next?" Smiling at Maeve, the girl looked around. Everyone seemed deep into their work, and while some tasks had yet to be completed, nothing was in progress that would risk damaging the items.
Said and done; once her tools and helpers had been gathered up, Seren began to direct the steady flow of couches, footstools, chairs, tables, side tables and cupboards, wardrobes and bed frames through the front door and to whichever floors Maeve wanted them. Her ability to lighten the load made it quite a bit easier on everyone, and while it raised some brows that the smaller of the workers would carry the heavier items, Seren minded not at all.
Peace was settling into her bones as she worked, and her cheerful stream of talk - gossip, encouragement, instructions and reflections - became more and more genuinely happy with each passing minute.
Seren starts moving furniture with the volunteers!
