Tal thought he figured out what Sunjata wanted with the water features, but he was just as happy to focus on the structure of the fountain first. He had a pretty good idea of how he wanted it to look, and wrestling with the rocks was frustrating but weirdly cathartic when they finally did slip into place and interlock. Sure, some of them were more stubborn than others, but Tal was more stubborn than all of the rocks combined and soon he had a pretty good fountain built up, if he did say so himself.
He straightened up under Sunjata's praise, puffing his chest out a little as he exchanged a wry grin with Sah at their rare example of teamwork. Still, he didn't mind too much when he got put on windchime duty. Especially not when it meant that the Flood could sort out his own idea for the river... pool... things... to his own satisfaction, and the courier wouldn't have to worry about getting it wrong.
"Sure thing," he agreed, heading over to the remnants of the metal lengths and gathering them into bunches of differing lengths first. He had to dig his little hand drill out of his Bag and fit it with a tip for boring metal so he could put a pair of holes in each of the pipes, but they were thin enough that it wasn't too hard of a job; just a tedious one.
Once he'd sorted out how to string them up, he cut some round, thin slices off a small tree trunk to create the top plates from, then contributed some tough cord to string the bundles of pipes up with. The clappers and wind sails came from the same tree that had donated the top plates, and by the time he was finished he had three windchimes of varying sizes that bonged and sang pleasantly in the light breeze.
"So, uh... is this shrine gonna be mostly just for Sex Frey? Or will it work for both Freys?" he asked over his shoulder while he worked.
Tal finds a small tree to help with windchime construction and makes three from the leftover lengths of pipe!
