It had been a long, hard day of work, but Hadama looked up to see the skyport rising above them, ready to receive the swiftly-flying ships from around Caido once more, and felt that the soreness in his muscles had been well worth it. No less important to Torchline's trade, the deepwater piers once again extended out into the Arclight, able to welcome their surviving merchant vessels and fishing fleet home again.
"Agreed," the mermanta called up to Flora with a tired but satisfied hint of a smile. "Last person to Frey's Breath brings the drinks?" There were certainly perks to being able to aquaport - or teleport - to the Climb's hot springs after a hard day of work!
There was much to do still, but for today it was enough and Hadama gathered his crew together for one final push. "Drinks all around," he informed them, "after we clean up the unused supplies. Stack them neatly. Anyone who needs them for rebuilding homes and shops can make use of them." He knew his people, and wasn't above adding in a little self-serving incentive for those who still had repairs of their own to make if they had lived or done business near the docks before Starfall.
Hadama helped the other Mer shift leftover pilings and planks from the water and onto shore where the land-dwelling races could grasp and pull them farther out of the tide and arrange them into groups out of the way of the new docks, separating both wood and nails roughly into size for easy use later.
Hadama offers to buy the crew drinks after they finish cleaning up, and leads the dock crew in tidying up the spare wood and building materials for later use by whoever needs it.
