A heart-shaped tree standing in between human nature, and the nature we see
A swell of pride fills the boy as both Anna and Anju arrive. He'd been worried, at first, that this might be overstepping, or that the senior Dragoons would take issue with his plan, but the tacit blessing of these two women will go a long way towards gaining him credibility. Koa straightens at their approaches, affecting his best soldierly-stance. "Captain. Ma'am." He'd launch into his explanation, but then Octavius arrives.
Joy.
"Belefort," Koa greets the other man tersely, all of his willpower set toward keeping his posture and expression professionally mild. Today is not the day to let the older boy under his skin: today he wants to shine, to prove himself a worthy successor to the legacy of his Ma.
Turning smartly back to Anju and Anna, Koa begins to explain his plan. "Since the end of the war, the Needle has stood neglected, a symbol of past conflict and all we lost. I thought we might reclaim it, make it represent something different - the justice and protection of the Dragoons for all of Caido and its people." He's rehearsed the speech, and it shows in the way his wavering voice grows stronger as he goes on.
"I've hired contractors to start converting the cells, but it would be good for them to have some direction in styling and delegation of space." He gestures to where a small army of workers have begun swarming, blueprints splayed around. "Frank's team is working on offices at the east end. Lessa's on storage to the west. Nua's putting barracks at the northern end, and the southern cells... Grond says we'll keep those as cells, but make them a little more. Um. Humane?" He cringes a little while saying this, face cracking into an almost apologetic smile.
Round one! Pick the team you want to give design tips to. Feel free to powerplay your contractor and their group ;D
The options are:
East: Frank's making offices
West: Lessa's doing storage
North: Nua's designing barracks
South: Grond's renovating the prison cells
No order!
Joy.
