By the time they finished patching Tal was ready to curl up in a patch of sunlight and take a nap. His arms and back were sore and he was definitely going to have to throw his current pair of gloves out after this, smeared with cement as they'd become.
Still, stifling a yawn, he clambered back on top of the wall and pulled up his makeshift seat after him. He was really hoping that Deimos was going to tell them to go home and get some rest-
But the day wasn't over yet. He managed to hold in his groan until he was away from the others, and Boreal crooned encouragingly as he trudged over to the piles of weapons behind the rest of the crew. There were fairly well picked over by the time he arrived and he didn't bother hiding his sigh, but it didn't stop him from collecting sheaves of javelins and stuffing them into his Bag. Then he climbed back up to the ramparts and began laying the weapons at measured intervals so the non-archers defending the Wall would be able to contribute by throwing sharp, pointy things until the attackers got into sword range.
Tal places sheaves of javelins around the top of the wall.
