Architecture seemed a wonderful subject... that Quanil hadn't studied yet. And growing up talking to plants hadn't exactly given them much in the way of muscle. They didn't seem naturally suited to either task, so they waited to see what others chose at first.
It was a real temptation to see if they could help Libbs; perhaps she could teach them some interesting ideas? But they also considered Maea the Disappeared - they still couldn't get the unofficial title for her out of their head - and wondered what she might be best at.
This is work time, they told themselves. Perhaps they could learn just as well by observing Libbs? They didn't want to do anything to slow down the process, and if they could learn and help at the same time, that might be the best option.
So Quanil picked up another shovel and set to removing rubble, trying to make sure Libbs had enough room to do... whatever it was she might want to.
