"The clay bricks need to be fired so they bond and get stronger," Druger suggested to Rain as they surveyed their rudimentary setup.
"Could they just be baked under the sun?" Rain asked, familiar with the concept but concerned about their lack of resources. "We don't have an oven for that, nor a kiln, or even a large enough fire to bake them. We don't even have enough wood."
"It's fine. If we wait for the sun, it might take forever," Druger dismissed Rain's concern with a wave of his hand. "Baking them would hasten the construction time tremendously, and we don't need wood to burn them."
"R-really?" Rain was skeptical but hopeful.
Druger opened one eye wide from under his bushy brow and smirked. "How do you think we built the port town from scratch, huh?"
