I. Barriers To Defend The People | Temba Hangar Entrance

By the end of the second night Reeve had definitely come to the conclusion that this place, even with the ships, wasn't fully safe. Those damn creatures had come and come again on the second night. And all Reeve could think about was make this place safer. Sure, he'd gone to explore some with Felwinter, but in the end, he understood that at the moment, this was one of the best places for gathering they had. The ships had food, they had something to drink, they had secure places to sleep. Sure, others had gone, but this seemed like a logical place to keep secure, especially if they needed the ships to get around. And so he'd done what seemed logical.

At least he'd gathered his other materia. Because it meant that Reeve had managed, with the help of a friendly and very large blue woman, to not only see a few trees down, but back to the hangar. And from here, Reeve had work to do.

"Alright," he said, taking his fire materia into hand. Could he do the fine control here that he sometimes had back home? Time to check. "Just burn the bark off, then find about getting this securely placed."

It was so much work. But hey, he didn't think people would begrudge it.

II. Fixing Up The Needful | Hold of the First Breath

Perhaps they were secure here at the hangar, but that didn't mean there weren't things that needed done. Like looking over this metal rod that he'd collected from the Greenhouse. Reeve sits on the floor of the First Breath, and continues his inspection of the thing. Truth was he wanted to be familiar with it, even if he couldn't use it. Repairs were important given these things were so good at taking down the plants here, and he wanted to be sure he could repair anything that needed it. And given he hadn't wanted to bother any of his shipmates if they were properly using their ship, well, working here was a courtesy.

There was some advantages of the ships that weren't in use after all.

"I cannae understand why yah keep fiddlin'," Mini said as he watched Reeve work.

"Because in an emergency, these things could be our only protection. I want to know they'll work. Which means figuring out how they DO work."

III. Just A Spell Away | Outside Hangar

Morning. Reeve yawns as he moves out through the barrier, a mug from his ship with a more liquid serving of the chocolate protein gel (listen he needed a drink). The morning has come, more has grown, and that means some upkeep. Reeve sighs and pulls a pair of materia out of his pocket with his free hand. Then, after a careful look, he throws a pair of ice spells to the edges of the road, freezing plants solid. Then he nods and throws a fire spell between them, to burn away some of what is there. Though his eyes remained on it, Reeve clearly intent on using more ice to deal with any burning.

"Damn plants. We could seriously use some garden sheers."

"There would need to be a way for me to fetch the materia out," Reeve noted. He could not give one of his few means of defense away forever. Fire and lightning were lovely, but at least with Ice he could in theory create shields. Maybe.

"I learned something of working word on Eorzea."

Oh, so it wasn't like the magic could be put into a rock to make it materia. Huh. Well at least that meant that rocks were still safe, especially with the amount of rubble one could find around the city.

'Do you think if I find you something, you could fashion it? Into a staff at least, and maybe later I can find something for the top instead of your materia pieces?' That was an idea at least and might help him channel his magic easier!

"Yes, I might be able to do that. And there's a chance the sorts of crystal we use for batteries might be converted into a focus for you."

He thought that was what the man meant. Like... like fairy tale things from books back home.

Lerith focused on the ice materia in his hands to snuff out the flames on the plants. He didn't want to get distracted and lose control of them. 'I wonder if I could ask the Agrii for something from Thedas? A crystal or stone of some sort.'

He settles onto the ground to relax for a moment and stretch his lanky, long limbs out. 'We don't need to use the crystals for me if they're used with other things.'

"Perhaps you could," Reeve said. He didn't know how they felt over questions like that, but he wasn't against their asking. Any comforts they could ever receive were more than worth it.

"They are for magic, that is their purpose."

'I think the only time I might have asked them for something was the seeds for winter last year.' He tries to think of any other time he had done any sort of request. Come to think of it, had he even requested the seeds? Or had the Agrii figured out what he wanted most from home? 'Though I think they just brought something I wanted from home. I don't want to use anything for me when it could be used for something more important and I have tools already to try and better my magic without taking from what we need here in the city.' He makes a gesture with his hand towards the plant growth they were dealing with.

"As it was with my materia," Reeve said with a smile. So yes, he understood that. But he had been blessed to earn three of the things. Not that he knew what he had done to receive them.

"I'm glad you have your magic, though. It's clearly helpful for us."
