CHULANE
close the door, hold the phone, show me how
They got there, but it wasn't without a lot of effort, and incident. Chuy would never place blame on one or the other for who might've slipped first - ultimately it didn't matter, for none came out injured, and they recovered well enough, if a bit sore and with their pride slightly bruised. But it was all a matter of perspective - they might've tripped, but they got up, dusted themselves off, and kept going anyway.He too clapped a gentle pat to Hester's shoulder, giving her a friendly wink in reassurance (and Chuy winking is almost always goofy, so he was admittedly trying to get a laugh out of her as well). He took some time catching his breath, surveying the work still ahead of them.
The roof. This was a task he was confident he could help with, if only because of those in attendance, he was the only one with wings at his disposal, as well as a feline shift that had impeccable balance at heights. "Noah, Hess, I might need you guys to translate some things I say from up high to Morgan and Beatrix while I'm shifted." Without waiting for confirmation (trusting both of them), he turned and ran a few steps before shifting, flapping his broad wingspan to take flight.
He landed atop the apex of the frame, feathers bristling for a moment as he surveyed the area again with his eagle-eyes, shifting to his leopard form a moment later. He had more dexterity and balance in this form, and could easily manoeuvre along the planks (having done so along all of the beams available in the attic-level training rooms of the Academy over Longnight). As bundles of thatch were passed up, he used both paws to move and push it into place, rinsing and repeating, beaming down instructions to Hess or Noah (or any convenient attuned NPCs) as necessary.
Once the thatch was placed, the roof would prove much more substantial to stand on, and he could shift back to his human form to lay the tiles, his eagle shift at the ready to take flight (or his leopard form should he find flight unavailable in the event of a disaster fall).
