It Is Only For You That I Would Crush the Stars

Preferably someone who can help with building things? >_>

Beginning the project anew was slightly harder than Ralla first imagined it. What with J'adore now teaching her how to write and her time doing her regular duties and taking care of Ayasha and trying to teach J'adore everything about the Otlvna Gata tier, she barely had time to breathe. Not to mention she wanted time spent with Kemo, which was another thing atop the heap of 'to-do'. And now she was adding this--finishing the observatory--to the workload. She had been happy to find her hut well cleaned and taken care of--courtesy of J'adore, who she felt like she would need to hunt for in return--and had found the foundation that she and him had made the previous winter still sturdy. All that was left was to construct the walls and roof, which would have a hole in it anyway...sort of; it needed a latch to open a close to keep rain out. But she had built her own tree hut in a month; she could do the same with this one. Especially now since the earth was becoming wetter and easier to work with.

Earlier in the morning she had fixed some wooden poles that would act as the base, tying them tight with rope that would not have to hold much strain once the clay was molded over the thatching. She was currently going about the wooded groves near the village, picked up piles upon piles of undergrowth and twigs that she could tie together to form a basic wall. Later, once that was finished, she would mix water and the rich clay deposits near the river to make a paste that, when dry, would become hard as brick. Such a procedure was not hard to figure out, given a little experimentation, and she had learned it by watching long ago in her birth lands. Watching had been a keen specialty of hers, and she had not been blind to everything but nature and the moon. Sugar stood munching on the new grass behind her, his back piled high with similar thatching, roped down about his middle. Thoughts of how the new observatory would be taken in by her tribe romped in Ralla's mind, as well as what would be in there. A sand table for charting the stars, a desk and parchment for writing the stories, shelves of scrolls, and the walls painted with constellations! The mention of paint and parchment brought Ralla to thinking that she would need to visit Cercatori D'Arte for the supplies to do so, which she wouldn't mind at all since the wolves she had met last time were very amiable and kind. If one had been looking on at her right then, they would've thought that she was doing a funny dance, bending forward and standing straight in such swift intervals due to her enthusiasm to get the building finished.

Moon walks. "Moon talks." Moon thinks.
