NATE
Things seem to finally settle a bit, their work bearing fruit. Well, most of their work at least.
Nate and Sunjata together are the most suited to finding a load of replacement lumber, a task that takes longer than it seems like it ought to. A fact that is helped in no small measure by the short detour they take, so Nate can steal a bite, a shift, and spare his husband the effort of leading a newly filled cart.
Left to her own devices, Vai has nothing but trouble, the hole in the wall at the awkward kind of height that's too high above her head to be reached easily, but so close to the ceiling that anything that might raise her up to better fix it would leave her bent awkwardly. No matter what she tries, luck is not on her side, a handful of relatively minute mishaps culminating in her hammer being dropped into the wall, landing with a distinct, if somewhat muffled, clunk.
In stark comparison, Wessex and Arialla clean the floor almost easily now, water and elbow grease working absolute wonders. The demi-gods animate shadow lends no small amount of help as well, the task finished that much faster if Arialla agrees to put her shadow to work as well. With the grease lifted, painted tiles are revealed, white, with swirling floral designs. A few are cracked, but the majority of them are in fine condition.
It's quite the sight to come back to, spiralling horns still bursting from Nate's forehead when he steps into the building again, and looks around. "This looks amazing." He exclaims, a wide smile spreading over his face. "Not to keep handing the busy work off to you, but the walls could use a fresh coat of paint too." Both women are offered his most winning smile, before he turns to start carrying in the replacement wood, ready to get back to the framing, now that they can.
Only then does Nate notice the trouble Vai seems to be having, pausing his task once again so he can check on her, a hand on her shoulder preceding his words. "Do you want to help Jata, leave this to me?" It's a soft offer, meant to free Vai from the trouble of just kicking a hole in the wall to fix the myriad of problems.
Things went better this round! Go team!
Round 3!
Replacement wood makes it's way to the building successfully, the floors are cleaned, and work can begin anew on the framing and walls.
Nate has requested thatWessex and Arialla paint the walls, there are a few cool shades available, and they are free to decide on their own what colour to paint.
Sunjata is left to start working on the frames again, and Nate offers to work on the hole in the wall in place ofVervain, so she can help Sunjata instead.
