Sophie grew wide-eyed as Cris threw about a whole bunch of ideas at once. Nevertheless, she smiled at his efforts. "Erm, well...I think we should erect stilts, or beams, under the actual porch. They'd probably stay up longer than dirt or stones," she said. The dirt could wash away, and the stones were easily moved, so she thought they should stick to the beams.

"...but we weren't provided with any mosquito netting," she said. She turned and gestured toward the materials the professor provided. "Do you think we were meant to stick to what's here?" She didn't know how to conjure mosquito nets. She looked toward Culloden for some kind of response.

Then there was another design, a wraparound porch design, shown to the group. "I think it looks awesome, but we should really find one design and stick to it. It's probably going to take us a while to get this thing built, and we've got three possibilities for designs," she said. "Maybe we should just stick with the one already approved by Culloden?" That way they could go ahead and get started.

"Either way, we need a base for our porch, so I'll start working on it," she said. She turned toward the planks that were laid out before they decided on a base and began to shift them around, so they could know be part of the base. She laughed at herself carrying those big planks. It was like she was carrying straws or something. "So how are we supposed to piece these together?" she asked. Charms or actual nails and hammers?
