HEY! GIMME A THING! (David/GM, Arianna?)

[Tina Bennet]

Tina's lips pulled into a cheerful smile as she continued pulling the saw by the rope so she could start cutting tree branches.

'Thanks, Leyak!' Best. Friend. Ever.

To Arianna, she stuck out her tongue and went back to work.

"See? I'm fine."

[Arianna Barrial]

...something about her qi, maybe? Or so Arianna thought.

She tolerated the stuck-out tongue but raised an eyebrow, questioning the young girl for her unruliness without words. But she watched her work a few moments...deliberating on whether and how she could help.

[Tina Bennet]

Tina would cut branches, humming to herself as she laid them out, haphazardly at best. She'd lay out four horizontal branches, the thickest she had of the lot, and started laying others across them like a raft on a base.

"Hmmm, still need a handle and stuff, though." Her lips twisted in thought before she looked up at Arianna. "Hey! Think we can use the old ones? Because I ain't a metal shaper."

[Arianna Barrial]

Ah, so she would be included! For more than a self-imposed anchor, anyway.

"I'll go see about that, certainly. Probably better than trying to bend a brance into shape, too."

She turns and rummages around in the assortment of tools for a couple screwdrivers, considering she should also look at taking the joints off the door as well, and totes along a measuring tape. Measure twice, cut once, and all, and it would be best to know how far apart the joints were.

The fact that this new door was ridiculous wasn't lost on her at all, but she went with it.

Besides, Cabal could use some shaking up.

Especially David's area.

It would take her a few long minutes, considering travel time, and as she wrote the measurement for the length of the door on her arm, and the space between the screws of the innermost joints...

[Tina Bennet]

Tina stared at Arianna as if she'd grown a second head, only that would probably have been more interesting.

"Why would we bend it when we can cut it?"

Adults.

Tina would let Arianna take her measurements in relative peace, dragging a hammer and assortment of nails and screws to the door, along with an exacto knife. Because reasons. Otherwise, she waits with barely disguised impatience for the next step so she can get to the good stuff!

"You know how tall the door's gotta be?" Because Tina was just kind of winging it off of an assumption.

[Arianna Barrial]

"I do."

Someone had to be an adult, after all.

She measured and marked in appropriate places along the new 'door'.

[Tina Bennet]

"Good." Tina nodded in satisfaction after a moment, her gaze going to the different marks that were made on the wood. Clearly, she was not the adult.

Once Arianna was done marking the door, Tina would start fastening the branches together instead of sawing right away. Because safety first.

[Arianna Barrial]

Arianna finished the other measurements, in the mean time!

Like where the door handle had to go, and the joints.

[Tina Bennet]

Tina would look over their joint efforts and nod with satisfaction.

"Good. Now we can really get to work." She'd let Arianna move before grabbing the saw and going to work, happily cutting away with enough enthusiasm to keep a small sun going.

If not disturbed, she'd let Arianna handle the hinges and doorknob section.

[Arianna Barrial]

”Did you bring sandpaper..?” Arianna casually asked, applying pressure and weight to the screws as she used the screwdriver to secure the joints.

...they were going to have to make some adjustments for the handle and mechanism...but she wasn’t too concerned about that for the moment.

One step at a time.

[Tina Bennet]

"No?" She waved a hand around their various tools where, unless there was some in teh toolbox she didn't check, there wasn't.

"I want it to be organic."

[Arianna Barrial]

"Okay."

Arianna keeps doing her thing, in the mean time!

[Tina Bennet]

Tina walks around their project with a critical eye. Arianna wasn't too bad, at least. She talked a lot, but she could take orders. Very important in a minion to be able to do that.

But now the question got her thinking. What if David started bitching because, oh no, he got a splinter in his finger? Or someone else did. UGGGGGH.

Tina stomps off, things crashing and cracking as she digs through tools and supplies, coming back with a few sheets of sandpaper and throwing them down on the ground before sitting herself and mumbling.

After a couple minutes of work, she stopped to eye Arianna again.

"You know, you make a good servant."

[Arianna Barrial]

It was amusing that Tina went off to find sandpaper, and a gentle smile curved her lips despite the crashing search.

The quip makes her raise an eyebrow and look at the skinny teen.

"A servant? Not so much, I don't think, but I just pick and choose what makes sense to put my foot down on." She straightened, patting her hands against her legs as she went. "As it stands, I rather enjoy the thought of a door like this for David, and I'm only really concerned with practicalities," She gestured to the sandpaper and measuring tape, "And your safety."

Because she was a doctor and a good person.

[Tina Bennet]

"Huh." The response was delayed as Tina continued to stare, then the teen shrugged and wet back to work.

"I've had worse."

Because she's a wild child and not always a good person.
