Aurelia
The morning feels new. Even the way the mist cools her skin, the way the rays of sun warm the air around her, the salty sea breeze; it all feels new. Today is the day construction for the courthouse begins, however, and Aurelia tries to fix all of her thoughts on it. She comes to a stop at the designated building site; a stretch of space as close to the heart of Haulani as she could find. The groundwork has already begun, a handful of hired workers having started just an hour earlier.
Aurelia does not arrive alone, however. Beside her is her fellow leader, to whom she turns. "Are you feeling alright?" She asks quietly, so that only Maeve can hear. She can't help the way she glances down towards the woman's stomach, emphasizing the source of her concern.
They'll wait until others arrive, Aurelia regarding each of them with a grateful smile. When it seems as though everyone has arrived, she will set it all into motion.
"I know you might have questions and concerns. We'll be happy to answer them... later," she glances at Maeve, smiling tensely, before returning her attentions to the others. "The courthouse won't build itself, after all, and we still have a lot of materials that need to be gathered and prepared before we can truly begin."
Aurelia had conducted careful research over how to build the courthouse, having looked at examples of the Hollowed Grounds and Halo's places of power. Interestingly, she'd found a book entailing a particular kind of Outlander architecture that inspired her. This, she had then shared with Maeve, and they'd both agreed on this route.
"We want this building to be strong. So it will be made almost entirely of concrete. We'll need to gather as much of that as we can. Next, we'll need marble and glass - though not as much. I've spoken to several suppliers, and they're waiting for us in the market with these provisions. Be sure to make use of the wagons-" she gestures to a few wagons that are, essentially, parked near the building site. Workhorses that are stronger than most - and for good reason, too - are tied to them.
"We'll need a lot of extra help for this project as well, and I'll leave that to you, Maeve," she inclines her head before moving on, "and, of course, we will need tools. Not only for the work ahead, but safety equipment as well. The ceilings for this building will be... very tall." She ends this final point with a small smirk.
At this, Aurelia strides over to one of the wagons herself, climbing into the driver's seat. She waits and watches for the others, to ensure that the instructions are clear and that they know what they need to do, before she sets off to help pick up the concrete materials. That leaves two more for the rest of the crew, and there are wheelbarrows sitting around as well.
