To be fair, Amaya's love of trebuchets...especially ones that were going to be hurling things into the ocean...was substantial.
Amaya paused what she was currently hammering together for a moment to listen, as if expecting it to have just been another whisper on the wind, but she looked up to see that this was not the case this time. "Ah, good," she said, giving the board one last good hit to drive the nail home before pulling herself up from the base-in-progress, brushing off her skirts a little, and then settling with a grin on her face and the hammer over her shoulder. Not quite as impressive of a pose with a regular hammer over her blacksmithing one, but she fell into it almost subconsciously. "There you are. I was half worried I'd have this thing built up entirely by the time you got here."
And, obviously, building the damn thing was half the fun! Irene had offered an extra set of hands, after all, and Amaya fully planned to put them to good use.
