Marmalade made it her mission to ignore anyone who showed up with or after Armond. She assumed that anyone else that appeared probably worked for him. This included the bossy newcomer that climbed the ladder unprepared. She had no extra hammers, so she decided to pretend she didn't hear him. After a moment, however, she gave in. It was more important to mend the roof in a timely manner.
"You will have to go get one." Marmalade finally replied without looking at him, "I didn't bring anymore up."

Listening quietly, Marmalade heard Caelyn talking to Armond about his attitude toward half-bloods. She scoffed loudly as he explained himself. It was a few minutes before she realized she had done that out loud and tentatively went back to hammering nails into the wood.

One by one, their companions returned. Led by Raena of all people. Marmalade smiled, it was good they had returned as it had started to sprinkle lightly. She estimated that the storm would be over them within the hour. Pulling her away from the looming clouds, Raena had shouted to her about helping with the roof, but was quickly distracted by the people that had joined them in her absence. She smiled again. Raena would be a very welcome distraction from her annoyance.

After about an hour, the roof had been sufficiently repaired. Not a moment too soon either as the rain started to become heavier. Marmalade waited for the man who assisted her to climb down first and followed him. Before entering the cabin, she picked up a few extra pieces of firewood. She was certain this rain was going to last all night.
