Oh, of course the bridge was too narrow. Pouting and scowling at it directly, as if it had done her some great disservice, she began snagging at rocks, knowing full well she didn’t have the capability to either yeet the cart over the passing, or widen it. “Can either of you lift the cart?” Glancing between Jack and Aurelia respectfully, pondering over the states of magic and such. To be fair, the Honeybee might be able to brute strength the whole thing, but then someone was going to complain when it ended up down a ravine or some shit. There was always the wild magic option, but she hadn’t known it to assist in weight lifting – and a barrage of ducks probably wouldn’t help either.

Melita makes a suggestion and starts grabbing rocks from the cart.

JACK
Can Jack lift the cart? To that he responds to Melita with a snort and a shake of his head, releasing his hold on the shallow waters now that they've reached this too-small bridge. "Ain't too much further to go - we can prob'ly do this by hand," he mutters, following suit with the Honeybee and reaching into the (mostly empty now, to be fair) cart to grab one of the final sacks of stones. "Some thumbs would probably be useful now," he calls to Aurelia for good measure, hefting the sack on his shoulder and nodding to the bridge.

"Single file should get us over there without too many catastrophes." So saying, the captain waits for Melita to go first and reach the other side of the bridge, before following. Once there, he continues with the placement of the stones around the lighthouse island, assuming this to be the last leg of their journey.



Jack says no, don't be silly, and grabs one of the sacks of stones by hand. He recommends going single file across the bridge, and then continues to place stones.

Jack being an Abandoned is common knowledge, however his Telepathy remains a well-kept secret:

Magic: Passive Telepathy | The user can read the surface thoughts and emotions of those within a 30ft radius. Control is excellent. Note: "Thoughts and emotions" include anything written in a character's narration in a post.
Type: Grey | Rank: Mastered

He is also branded with two small star tattoos beneath his left eye towards the outer corner.

Aurelia

It was quite evident to Aurelia that she couldn't pull the cart across the footbridge. And, in response to Melita's question, she answered with a snort and a shake of her own head - at the exact same time as Jack. To which she pointedly did not look his way. 

Shedding the straps keeping it tied to her, she stepped away from the cart and shifted back. She made good use of her thumbs as she grabbed the last sack and carried it across the bridge once Melita and Jack were both safely on the other side. She hadn't been able to speak when she was shifted, especially to either of them (to her knowledge, at least), but even when she was back in human form she didn't feel tempted to say much of anything. Her silence was thoughtful, as she wondered how these stones were going to work exactly - but figuring she would find out soon enough.

Having watched how they placed the stones this whole time, Aurelia fell into step behind them, putting the stones down in places that seemed good enough.



Aurelia shifts back into human form to carry a sack across the bridge, then begins putting down stones as well.
we're not in control, we never were
