With no strict schedule to follow she had grown lax in keeping up with the flow of time it seemed, allowing some nights to pass her without much sleep but she had grown accustomed to such, working with only a few hours enough to get her through until she could escape for a nap late in the day. Though the pace was still slow, if quickening as each day seemed to bring with it another who sought shelter or assistance, this place offered her more than a mere existence, struggling to get by on merge things, but a true life, one she found enjoyment within.
For a time she thought to ignore the call, enjoying the warmth of her bed, blankets pulled high around her shoulders, but such thoughts lingered for only so long. Pale lips parted with a gentle sigh and she lifted herself, struggling for a time with the soft surface, climbing down from it and taking a few seconds to rub the sleep from her eyes. It had become harder to rise each morning, the various all nighters she had been pulling to be useful taking a toll upon her, but it was something she seemed unwilling to stop, seeking to make something of herself rather than be little more than dead weight.
Progress proved slow, steps dragging some as she made her way through the home she had made for herself, some part of the meeting already passing before Ishayu was amongst those gathered, annoyance clear within the tense frown upon her maw. Later she would ask another about what she missed, focusing in on the last portion. As it turned towards shops she thought briefly of her forge, ready to go but not quick stocked, and wondered if she might set aside sometime to gather ore and metal so she could set her own up. It was a possibility for another day.
And then her name was called. Her features slackened and for a time she wondered at what to say, briefly wondering if it might be best to turn down the kind offer, but had this not been what she wanted, to become something, offer everything she had to help Sunhaven thrive? “Thank you Jericho, I shall do my best,” tentative was the smile curling about her lips though her voice shook a small bit, worried now for it meant more duties, worsening a schedule she really should try to fix. “Congratulations.” Though largely a general call her gaze found Pierce as he too lifted his voice, a familiar face though they had yet to get to know one another all that much. He seemed happy, an expression of unbridled joy, her heart light as she watched him, a gentle note of laughter rising from her. It was nice to see so many happy, experience the joy they felt for it seemed a wonderful thing to be here when a group was new to form, allowed a chance to help it upon its feet. Everything was new and so exciting, something Ishayu was quickly coming to love.
