[PQ] hold a weight

DEIMOS

Thieves and Kings, General and Queens, friendship holding steadfast amongst role reversals and multiple lives – he’d expressed his initial concerns to the Penumbra already, and wouldn’t voice them again in the presence of her husband. He nodded at the indications of her exhaustion, to be expected he supposed (regardless of how this child was coming to light or existence – he hadn’t dared to ask), at the value of their reward, their efforts, worthy of the regard. Perhaps they both deserved it, whatever would come to pass, and eventually his inquiries would cease their spiraling machinations. “Certainly,” rumbled again, a ghost of a smile on his mouth, before they proceeded into their actions.

The fence building began smoothly and efficiently – boards pieced together by hammer and strength, multitudes of layers formed quickly. Together they conformed sides and posts, elongating beside Temple foundations and lengthening out towards paths. A piece of lumber in his grasp, he studied and examined what they’d done thus far. “Just the gate left,” and he proceeded, expecting the Ascended to follow – eyes lifting to watch a ruckus of bats leaving.

For they did, rather rapidly out of Aisha’s opened window, the combined efforts of Evie’s corralling forcing them out of their panicked fleeing, and in a wayward spiral, perhaps towards an area more fitting, and less invaded by humans. The women could continue their task, and then pick another from the list (which, after consulting, they’d find the Sword’s neat and orderly scrawl, several figures already crossed off, but left were heating resources, preparing and gathering more snow moss, and food/water storage.

Everyone continued to working at a fervent pace, successful measures a welcome sight. Jigano’s candles and lanterns came to fruition rapidly, fluidly, in his concentrated incantations. Were the Sage to go meet with Aisha and Evie, and more list consultation done, he could have his own pick of where he wanted to go next.

Jigano has made his candles very nicely.

You may pick from the following: heating resources, preparing/gathering more snow moss, or food/water storage.
