if tomorrow brings new hope, i hope it brings you
One by one the tasks are listed, predictable processes for preparing their fortress. Cloths on the windows, moss in the eaves, reinforced entrances- she licks her lips, a strange nostalgia coming over her as she remembers LongNights past. It will be Jyoti's first, and the starwhale still seems rather confused about the whole thing, perpetually fearless as she is. And it will be Amalia's first with Outlanders: though she spent much of the last one in the Temple, she was isolated, invalid, laid up in the infirmary and recovering from her death.
She returns Amun's smile with a slight flush, never quite sure if the man is flirting. And though she would like to work alongside Deimos, when the Ascended picks up a length of dark cloth Amalia finds herself volunteering to help him, standing up and smiling wryly at the playful man's antics. "Sorry to disappoint." Lovely ladies, indeed.
Taking her own length of cloth a well as nails and a hammer, Amalia finds a large and already reinforced window to start on, demonstrating to Amun what they hope to accomplish. "The goal is to block any light from getting out - so nobody can see that we're here, basically." The system they've always used is a simple one, a nail in each corner and enough along the length to close up any gaps. For her part the baker places the corner nails, blocking out the light and gesturing for the Ascended to finish the work now that he is safe from the sun. "Have you decided where you'll stay, during LongNight?"
