Maea too hunched down to inspect the problem. Sam's suggestion was sound, and even if the main purpose of the windows was to let in light she couldn't imagine they made that much of a difference. Of course, she had never been inside, so it was too early to judge.
"Either way, we need to clear out the rubble and make sure it is sealed up properly against water" she commented. "A new window will be needed, or brick and mortar if it is to be closed up..."
At Jigano's question about her abilities, she looked up. It was not really a strange question, nor an unexpected one. Using magic was something common enough, though the reception to it differed between people. And yet.... it still made her uncomfortable. Because possessing the magic meant the gods would never smile at her in approval, and using it, no matter how convenient, felt like accepting her abandonment. As if she was proud to stand apart, when it couldn't be further from the truth.
But she would be no help at all without using the magic, with her thin arms and short stature, so Maea glanced down at the rubble and picked up a chunk of debris with her will, and sent it flying off to the side with a flick of the wrist. She could not pick up the bigger pieces or move them very far, but at least she wouldn't need a shovel.
"I am Abandoned" she clarified, with a measure of regret at the simple statement. "I have telekinesis... though not very strong." Perhaps because she so rarely made use of it. Glancing at Sam, the way he easily lifted the big rock despite his thin body was telling enough; Ascended for sure. But Jigano... She could not even begin to guess. "How about you?" she asked him. If they where going to reveal such things, better have it out and done with.
