apologies! had my english exam today, so was a bit preoccupied this weekend! <33
The sky was beginning to darken and the male wasnt even close to being done with his day. He knew he had a lot of work to do over the summer, not only within his own medical field but within the whole of Dahlia. And he'd begun to mark out where he wanted the stables he'd planned to go. The harbour was to be rebuilt, the supports for the grapevines rebuilt and a lot of the houses fixed too. Although Saul was not a expert in the matter, he was fast becoming accustomed to what needed to be done. Combining the building of his own house with the intricate wood carving he had learned from Shawchert all that time ago, Saul was fast become a novice carpenter/house builder. He needed more practise and he was going to get it over the summer. And now they had Adrien, guardian of the puppy Iliya who had travelled from Cercatori to Dahlia. They would be useful, that was for sure. But right now, the male was determined to collect some more marigold plants for their antiseptic and pain relieving properties. He had used the flower heavily on Wretch and she had responded well to it.
A drop of rain splashed on his nose and the agouti male gave an inward sigh. He didnt want to collect the yellow plants while they were wet, but he didnt have a choice now. He was more than halfway to the walled garden he had discovered not long ago. He could smell Siku around here, but he wasnt sure how old the scent was. Although they shared a house and, at nights, shared a bed, they hadnt spoken properly in a while. Not since Conor had properly left and they'd spoken in the very garden he was heading to. It didnt take him too long to reach it and he wriggled quickly under the hole in the fence they used for a door. They still needed to removed the overgrown plants around the door to make it useable.
Her scent was stronger and Saul allowed the now-familiar butterflies to flap in his stomach. He wasnt ever used to the feeling that Siku insued in him, but it was becoming more familair. And he saw her on the ground, arms tucked behind her head and body outstretched. He gave a wicked chuckle, launching himself forward as the rain came tumbling down. He covered her body with his, tucking her legs under his own and covering her head with his hands. He laughed deeply, planting a large and soppy kiss on his friends cheek.
"Dont worry Siku, I'll keep you dry from the rain!"
He growled, teasingly tugging on her ear as he pulled back to look into her golden eyes. It was at that moment that he really understood how much he'd missed his best friend and planted another kiss on her nose to illustrate the point.
