MABEL
Perhaps, like in most things, they managed to prevail.
No pain, no anguish, no torment, no new injuries – even ifCameron would’ve been the only to one to feel it. The air of disappointment still didn’t billow away in an Ascended’s form.
But it didn’t exist in the here and now.
Gloriously, the nails were pried up by Mabel and the unknown artist. Rendered and placed off to the side, with an unnecessary sigh of relief pooling from her lungs, the youth stood upwards and stared at the chaos around them. Even if it was small and substantial, there was a grand notion that they’d conquered a set of damned spikes, pins, and rivets. “We did it,” she whispered, half a smile tucked along her mouth. As if it was worth celebrating.
Maybe it was. Every little moment counted nowadays.
Aamu held success too. The shingles didn’t glide around. They didn’t fly or fall off the sides of the building. They stayed in place, patched and shone over all the hardships they’d faced, and ceased to falter.
With a huff of absolute obstinance, the youth’s gaze went to the new boards, or…salvaged ones that hadn’t been mauled when the barn collapsed, beginning to grab hold. “Let’s replace them with these then.” With all three of them working, it wouldn’t take as much time. Then, perhaps, they’d only have the windows and any other odds and ends within the home.

Good rolls, yay!
Let’s replace the crappy boards with much less crappy boards!

Let's go to war to make peace
