The task continues on, and Hotaru spends a moment thanking her mother for the stamina she'd given her. While she may not be very impressive by way of bulk or brute strength, at least she could continue for hours. Speaking of such, she leaves the lashing and moving to Deimos and Loren, chest heaving as she catches her breath while fetching a shovel. If nothing else, she has at least proven to herself that Jigano - for all his curiosity to her regarding his interaction with Deimos - is a good companion to work alongside. Quiet, intent, unswayed in his focus on the task at hand. While Hotaru would certainly seek him out later out of curiosity for his character, at least he didn't jabber her ear off while they worked. Though if he could, and still had the breath to do so, she'd be mightily impressed.
The snow is odd, and its replication properties a tad confounding, but she's here to work not question nature. Instead she digs the head of the shovel into the snow, keeping a steady pace alongside Jigano. If they could hurry it up so she could get home - get dry, get warm - that would be fantastic. As important as she knew this job to be, they had been at it for hours now, and soon their collective exhaustion would lead to hunger pains, frustration, irritation...Hotaru would not be merciful in her cutting words if she was kept from her meals, no sir.
