Soleil
my aloneness feels so good
Edmund's smile helps soothe the raw edges around her heart, but she can only summon a wisp of one in return that dies faster than it comes. That hurts, too. She doesn't feel like herself, but is equally unsure how to get back to herself. All she can think to do is keep her days and hands busy, the way Luka does. It seems fitting that she steps into his shoes and he into hers, emerging from Halo like an overwintering bear when normally he was a homebody.
Hissing over her sliver, Soleil frowns down at it, trying to pluck at it with her nails to remove it considering she hadn't brought her adventuring pack as it was of little use in construction. Whether she gets it out or not, she stands and rejoins the others, and even manages a small laugh when Edmund's companion consumes the refuse readily in a way she hadn't expected of such a small, enigmatic creature. Diana, laying in the corner and watching like a silent guardian, chuffs slightly at the subtle signs of thawing in her bonded.
"I'll take the furniture," she offers, the first thing she has said in days. Her voice is mildly raspy from it, but she buckles down on the work with a little less strain on her shoulders. In come chairs, a rug, and anything else that Edmund had set aside for the repaired building.

Soleil tries to get her splinter out, then begins moving furniture in!

I'll only have you if you're sweeter than my solitude
