Liana glared at him, tears welling in her eyes. Gloria's worry was written all over her face. Felicia stayed silent, her tail swaying with unease. Mimi and Delya circled the mana-powered elevating work platform, examining every detail.
Javier just smiled and shook his head. "Come, let me show you what I've been working on. Don't worry, this thing is safe. I built it so I can reach high places. It's called a mana-powered elevating work platform. Makes things easier when I need to work up high, repairs, building, anything."
He walked to the panel and stepped on. "Come. I'll show you," Javier said, waving Liana and the others over.
Liana hesitated, then followed, keeping close. Gloria took her place at his left side, the others joining in.
Javier pressed the button to lift, and the platform rose slowly.
