I am relieved when my tardiness is overlooked, when I am ultimately accepted, welcomed just for showing up with a willing mind and body. I cannot hide my enthusiasm, my keenness to get in and assist in whatever way helps. I nod as Loren gives his instructions for what is next needed, my gaze following his pointed gestures to the supplies, idly admiring the work that had already been completed.
It is good to be among likeminded individuals, though I barely know them, I find some comfort in the fact that we are all here, all working towards a single goal. I had taken mental notes of the names of the two I had not known before, and as Weaver follows Korbin, I follow Glas, blissfully unaware of the boy's introverted desire to work alone.
"Are you comfortable with stacking the bricks?" I ask the young boy, my face friendly, as I look over the barrel of mortar that is near this wall. I lean against the stick that is in it, loosening the mixture up. "You stack, I slap some of this on it, and then you stack again, yeah?" I offer, before grabbing a tool and scooping some mortar down for the first layer of bricks to go.
Chuy proposes a method of working with Glas on building the wall, and gets started laying the mortar.
