The late afternoon sun was growing stronger each day. Though it was still defined as spring it seemed unnaturally warm out. Saul had spent the day moving around the lands of Dahlia, picking up various planks of wood that he was soon going to make a bed out of. He'd managed to find a single metal frame a few days ago and had placed it in one of the three spares rooms he had on the ground floor of his house. Though the fourth was technically Siku's the white princess spent more time curled up against his side than she did in her own room. Slowly but surely, the two of them were getting the house together. Saul had finally decided to go for the co-rank of Apothecary and had converted one of the other bedrooms into his medical store for now. He was beginning to collect plants and other healing material, bottling and meticulously labelling them for future use. He'd already proved himself twice- one with Nayru and her poorly stitched head and another with the female from Cour des Miricales who had damaged her wrist in the snow storm. He was getting better, he just needed Conor to see it.
The last sun was warming the windows of the large cabin the timber male had built, heating the air within to a comfortable temperature. Saul looked up from his vantage point on the floor of his bedroom. He'd created a large box so far, roughly the size of a king sized bed. He would add legs and slats to it later to support a mattress he had pilched from a house in Halifax. The matress was a little old, but when were you ever going to find anything new from the humans nowdays? He was busy working, but the sun was tempting him outside. With a huff and a smile, Saul yanked on some shorts and a blue t-shirt before he stretched and exited the house.
Although he was tempted to run, Saul walked along the rivers edge, heading west towards the borders. Whisper Beach was very close to the delta of Oberons Spring and Saul was more than happy to follow it down till the very edge of the borders. Looping back round and heading south along the beach Saul intended to cross the expande of the beach, reach the harbor and see if Gideon was fishing. He hadn't seen his younger brother for days now and he still hadn't tracked him down for the scars on his arms. Keen ears thought they heard a sound but he dismissed it as the sea. If he hadn't see the raised lump on the sand, he would never have known she was there. Scent masked but crusted sand and salt on her fur, she looked in a bad way even from here.
“Hello? Hello, can you hear me?”
His concerned voice was laced with fear. Her breathing was so shallow and the bone protruding from her leg looked horrible. Creamy white hands moved gently over the little pups face, pulling up her eyelid to see if she was still conscious. Hoping she might be able to talk, Saul crouched beside her, critical mind moving fast.
