Maea smiled at the men and made her way towards a ladder procured for this task.

It was a simple enough process. Starting towards the edge of the roof, she layered the material and worked her way gradually upwards. It would have been far easier to do in daylight however, and she wondered why Are had waited until the day was almost over to begin the work. Was he afraid that no one would set aside their own work to help a stranger?
"So, a cobbler eh?" she spoke, casually starting up a conversation as the work progressed and the silence became oppressive. "Have you been at the trade a long time? And what about you, Caiside, what do you do for a living?"
