"Adeline, we haven't even set the foundation, why are you framing the house?" Alaric asked, clearly exasperated.
He figured that, with Grander gone, and the village conveniently dismantled, he could rebuild it in his own image. With Adeline and Sonic's help, it would be easy. After all, their physiques were worth that of 50 strongmen.
"Why do we need a foundation? There is already ground there..."
All of that went down the drain when Alaric realized that this girl had no idea how to proceed! Almost every village prioritized passing down the art of construction to the younger generation, so every person Alaric interacted with knew how to build a house.
'But, as the daughter of a baron, why would Adeline know?' Alaric remembered.
Alaric took in the image of the messily laid out spikes, all stabbed into the ground and nearly falling over, and asked, "How did you expect this to turn into a house?"
