Just Like You

Avacyn enjoyed seeing Fiametta so carefully consider the question laid out in front of her. It was adorable seeing her little sister sniff at the different materials and examine them so throughly and it made her happy to have her sibling take the task she had given her so seriously even if in the end the result would realistically be the same. These were the little details she cared about too so she was enjoying having a sibling that was just as interested in the little creative decisions that went into stuff like this. Fia eventually looked back to her and mentioned how she liked the darker colors, which Ava nodded in agreement to. Then she asked if there were any other differences and she grinned as she settled down onto her haunches beside Fia, more than happy to discuss the details of what was in front of them.

"Any of these would do the job, but there are a few differences we could consider." She pointed a white-tipped paw toward the small pile of thatch on the right and told her, "The thatch is easier to collect and a lot lighter so carrying it out to the lake would be easier and getting it onto the roof of the hut would be easier as well, but it's not as durable so we'll have to replace it and repair it more often. I imagine we'd have to swap it out each spring after the winter snows." She moved on to some of the pieces of wood, adding, "The woods are all pretty much the same in how they function and the difficulty of getting the materials we'd need. They'll last longer and will be a more permanent solution, but they'll be more time consuming and difficult to get on the front end. There's not a ton of difference between the different kinds of wood besides what is more plentiful in our own lands and what we'll need to go source from other places. The darker ones we both like are a little bit harder than the lighter ones which would make them more durable."

She looked down to Fia then, wondering if she was absolutely boring her little sister or if she was still interested in this project she had created for herself. She could have just thrown up any old thing for the guard's hut, but she didn't like to do things half way so now here she was, debating roof materials with her little sister. "Does any of that change your opinion? Or do you still think we should go with this darker wood?" She picked up one of the dark oak shingles that she had cut out as an example, holding it where they could see it against the other options while they considered.
