From being an Abandoned who had rarely left the Hollowed Grounds, to embracing the call of adventure, to dying and being reborn first as an Ascended and then as an Ancient, Maea has gone through quite the amount of changes in her life. One thing remains common, though, in her attempts to find out just where she belongs; she’s always had a craving for knowledge which has brought her to so many places and to meet so many people here in Caido. We can’t wait to see what else is in store for her!
Congratulations, Maea!

"More than just a hand, even." Remi quips in reply, broadly grinning in Ronin's direction. "And more than just one." So saying, Remi duplicates himself so that whilst one of him helps hold the frame up, the other can more easily assist Ronin in affixing it properly.
"This is all quite cozy, mm?" The alchemist whispers in a low voice, glancing toward where Maeve and Deimos are working, and then to Phoebe. Ronin no doubt will be able to hear—and feel—the unmistakable resistance in Remi's voice, and will recognize it as the Remi's subtle way of saying that they could have done this all just the two of them (four of them, really).
Regardless, the work is easy enough, and being paired with Ronin rather than Deimos has soothed Remi's feathers considerably.

How boring perfectly splendid. No one has any unexpected mishaps, there are no random encounters with more of the Greatwood's flora and fauna - no one so much as trips over. And so it goes that another frame is brought to life, coaxed and moulded by a mix of Creation magic and regular old hard work, and the walkway is made more secure by a rope handrail that holds fast and works as a more than suitable guide.
Similarly, the two demigods affixing the first frame to the existing work have little issue doing so. But is that much of a surprise with a nimbus and eight hands where there might only otherwise be four? Either way, soon enough there is an extension to the walkway where the notched wood can be fixed into place for a tether.
Last round! The second frame needs to be affixed to the walkway (two people) and the wooden posts need to be knocked into place (one person).
Anyone not choosing a task should busy themselves with the cleanup!

With a nod given to Maeve for her assistance, the work goes smoothly, efficiently. His attention had no reason to deviate from the task at hand – no one in danger, and no more long, sweeping branches reaching out to entangle or ensnare. All in all, successful ventures.
So he chose to remain there for the present moment, glancing at the other frame put into place, and then at the one newly created, molded, and presented. Presuming it would have to be affixed just like its predecessor, the Sword quietly, carefully, and painstakingly went to utilize his strength and tools nearby to ensure this one was put into place too.

The jobs that are left are better suited for those with more strength than she so Maeve shifts her attention elsewhere. She whistles for Aidon, calling him down to her as she begins to collect the smaller bits of debris, creating a pile to be cleared away once they're done. The Nightshade gives Aidon the silent instruction to do the same, watching as the dragon begins to collect bits of wood into his mouth, adding them to her ever growing pile. Truthfully she's thankful for a bit of a break, her body protesting the strenuous work after having just given birth not too long ago, but the Nightshade pushes through despite this.
It's easy enough to do. Much couldn't go wrong with cleaning up and between her and Aidon it goes quickly enough.
Maeve helps clean up with Aidon!

Phoebe was generally more suited to cleaning up as well, knowing that Deimos, Remi, and Ronin had enough strength between them to likely move entire continents if they so wished. And so Phoebe silently joined Maeve, collecting bits and bobs from around the area and placing them into the pile. Once it overflowed with trash, she spotted and grabbed a bag to fill with the various debris they had collected. It wasn't the most exciting of tasks, but at least she could be sure there wouldn't be things for people to step on or trip over as they entered or exited the sky boats.
Phoebe helps Maeve clean!

"Very cozy," Ronin murmurs to Remi as they happily get the first frame fixed in place. And maybe he has snuck an arm around his husband by the time Deimos looks like he's ready to help get the next one done, the Huntsman grinning and nosing into Remi's curls. "You want your projection to do the boring work of knocking those posts into place? Deimos and I can deal with this I think."
The implication being, of course, that the real Remi can just sit and enjoy himself while the frame gets hefted and fixed against the walkway. "Let's do this." Ronin smiles to Deimos, sailing his nimbus closer and working with tools, teamwork, and a good old bit of brute strength to get it done.
There's a quip about knocking and posts on Remi's tongue that he wisely swallows back, instead nodding as Ronin goes to help Deimos. There's still a sparkle of something mischievous and not quite above-board in the colourful pulse he sends in Ronin's direction through the attuned bond, though.
Doing the opposite of what Ronin had suggested, the alchemist dismisses his duplicate and knocks the wooden posts in with his own two hands. Making a fist and slamming it down on the flattened head shouldn't have worked nearly as well as it did, but such was the strength of a demigod. Besides, something about the ache he felt in the muscles of his fist soothed something which was threatening to become uncoupled inside of his chest.
Remi fits the posts into place.

And just like that, with a hop, skip and a jump, along with falling on ice and sequestering away some Wicker Women, the skyport comes to life. Nestled high above the Sidhe Village with plenty of sky for the ships to navigate, there is room enough for two to dock side by side, with a beautiful view of the Observatory and the rest of the Greatwood beyond.
The woods, for better or worse, are open for visitors now.

This PQ+ is now complete! All who participated will receive credit for it, and the skyport in the Greatwood is ready for use!
