She knows better than to argue, but Jael had been left a bit devoid of a project. Recovering didn't count as a project. She'd found herself a project and really it would have been fine except for the whole massive snake of it all-- not even the good sort. Oh Calliope had already called for her father, and while she'd maybe hoped for more time to figure out what to tell him about the incident, it looked like she wouldn't have that luxury this time around.
Ah, but the girl's question came too. Jael's gaze glimmered, ears perking just a bit. "Cleaning it out so it's usable." She gestured to her bucket half-filled with muck, and the shovel leaning against it. "Think I can set it up for goats." A hopeful smile crossed the girl's lips, but uh, there was a rather long shadow cast over the edge of the bowl. She didn't know it was possible for Gilgamesh to look taller than usual, but there he was. Her smile doesn't falter, that hopefulness still shining through as she looks up at him.
"A snake," a little sparkle in Jael's gaze. "We need help moving it please." The girl stands at the pool's edge, looking directly up, tail wagging loosely at her haunches. All she can do is hope he won't be too upset by her little misadventure. Something about asking for forgiveness instead of permission-- hey, the shallow end of the pool had been cleared, and looked better than ever! That's something, right?
As her keepers, Gilgamesh and Modesty may join any of Jael’s threads if they deem necessary.
