...as for the walls? "On their way!" he said with a crooked grin. "I wanted to check you were happy with the size of the floor first." Because that would dictate the size of the walls afterall... And he noted that she said little walls. He'd certainly support that. "Be back in a mo..."
And with that he was off again to the wood pile, on the hunt for wall pieces. He quickly located two identical pieces that would do for the two sides. They were possibly a bit long, but they could always make a style feature that. The back piece was proving a bit more difficult. All the pieces seemed too big, or too small, or too narrow. Basically, just wrong. And he wanted their wagon to look good as well as work...
And then he spotted a piece near the bottom that looked like it could work. He tugged it out, falling backwards are he did so. It was worth it though, as it was just the piece he was looking for.
Three walls sorted! He headed back to Kate once more.
"Ta-dah!"
Okay, maybe that was a bit pre-emptive. They had to stick it together yet. She was good with sticking charms, yes?
Work? She tilted her head to one side as she considered this. Summoning, levitating. Wand work. It was till work, soooo..., "Thanks!" she said, before he went to get the walls. Once they had all the materials they could start. And perhaps add a few of her necklaces as well for sheer amusement. She had plenty to spare, after all.
Her eyes followed him as he began his quest for...three pieces of wood. Spike did look like a kid, and it was rather surprising he used his wand for...nothing at all. Was she overusing it? No, there wasn't such a thing.
The minute her eyes turned to the collected items on the ground, was the minute he returned. With three pieces of wood... one slightly larger but the remainder could be cut off or they'll work on the design a little bit more.
"Perfect," they had the basics.
Now, she took the piece of wood that would be the base of the cart and held it out for him to take, "I'll need you to hold this so I can stick the wheels to it...although...hold on a moment," she was thinking of something, and she held up her index finger to signal she'll be right back...and then moved to the pile of wood. It didn't take long for her to find what she was looking for, because she had an idea in mind. That's when she returned with two relatively-slim blocks of wood that had almost the same width as the base they were using, though she quickly Diffindo'd one of them so they were the same length.
"One wheel will be on this side," she pointed to one end of the block, "The other one on the opposite side," she gestured to the other end, "These pieces of wood...," there were two, because there were four wheels, "...will act as support to our base, like beams work. Sound good?" he better agreed, because that's what they'll do. In case he didn't understand, she made the movements the Professor had made before and said "Adhaero," as she kept one wheel in place, and did the same with a second one. Now they had one piece of long wood that had wheels on its extremes, "Same for the other piece," she said, before flicking her wand again, "Adhaero," it was said twice and those two wheels belonged to that piece of wood. Good.
Okay, "Now, the base would go over those pieces of wood... do you want to try stick the base to them? Or you'd rather hold the base and the other pieces for me?" it'd be nice if he got some wand work done, you know? |
