Melita was a welcome sight, fierce and fiery as the dawn, bringing her energy and her strength to the task in a way Jigano had already learned to appreciate. She was a hard worker, tireless and enthusiastic, and the formidable Fangorn was a sight to bring a grin to the face of anyone who had met the pair, endearing for how helpful he was to his mistress in spite of his toothy visage. He bowed gratefully at her salute, and was unsurprised to see that she needed no supervision as she set to work with a will.
For once, Jigano had risen earlier thanRory . It was a rare occurrence, almost unheard of when the bard spent the night at the farm, but some things were worth a little less sleep in the morning, and this task that he had set himself was one such undertaking. Even so, he had known from the moment that he had mentioned his desire to rebuild and repair the great library that the hunter would make the time for him, even as the fox did his best to help out around the farm. There was a quiet comfort in having the blond at his side, a rightness to the day and an easiness to the way they stood that showed more than any touch that Rory was as much a part of him now as his own heart. They needed no touch, no outward display, but there was a softening of the bard’s blue eyes whenever he glanced to his partner, and a tilt to his smile that seemed to brighten and lighten his whole bearing even in the midst of the heavy labor.
Caiside was the last of his close friends to arrive, stylishly late but willing and quick to lend a hand, and Jigano flashed the ex-demigod a grin as they passed each other with rocks for the cart, impressed at the thought that the redhead was putting into his task, making sure each trip counted without wearing himself out too fast.
As the morning wore on more people trickled by to help, townsfolk who had heard of the project and approved out of civic pride or who owed the Loreseekers a favor. The carts cart filled up quickly, and when it came time to move them Jigano askedRory to help him and stepped around the side of the building. A white horse, tall and elegant, stepped back hesitantly a moment later, and backed gingerly between the traces of the first cart, waiting for the hunter to harness him so he could pull the carts around to where the outside of the great hole, where it would be easy to work with later.
As the sun rises higher the heat increases, pounding down upon the Hollowed Grounds and those who work beneath it. Though there is shade inside the Atheneum, carrying stones outside brings those gathered under its burning lens.
