Two days had passed since his ward and he had found the apartment building that would serve as their home. Yesterday had been spent showing Gideon and Melee round the entire building, talking constantly about his plans for the place. Of course, they were yet to move in- the two Stormbringer males had to make sure it was safe and sound before they even thought about moving their families into the building. Within the next few days they would make sure everything was okay and then move in. It wasn't the best of places to be- it was a bit run down and decaying round the edges from the decades of abandonment. But Saul was a good carpenter and his carving skills were becoming good. The brothers would fix their home up little by little, the agouti male was sure of it. He himself would spend a few hours each day doing something to it- whether fixing the outside to make it look more presentable, asking Siku to do something with the garden and the weeds and ivy that crawled all over the bricks on the outside, to inside, making sure the lobby was back to its former glory. The apartment was going to need regular upkeep, but as long as everyone helped out with it, the place would be fine. He had named it Cerne Rise and had yesterday began to work on a large wooden plaque to sit on the building wall, announcing that this was their home. But for now they must stay away for a moment, perhaps the next few days would see them living in Cerne Rise.
Still, the innate curiosity in the man that had stemmed over from his puppy months had him settling the almost-shifting aged pale pup down in the abandoned office they had temporarily claimed as sleeping place until Cerne Rise was safe, kissing Siku on the cheek and whispering softly that he would be back soon, before exiting the building. The cool summer air hit him and the agouti male filled his lungs with the wonderful smell. He had often wondered over the past week how on earth he was going to fit in with Razekial and Nayru's ideas on spiritual connections with the earth, peace and love for all. He was a peaceful man, but he had never really thought about the earth he walked upon. However, breathing in the fresh grass and flower scent weaving its way across his coat, spring green eyes open to the beauty around him, he felt just a little better about what was going to happen to him. He could learn to love the natural world he lived in, he could learn to worship the 'Great Mother' Razekial spoke of. And it eased his soul to think this.
Creamy paws made quick and quiet work of the ground beneath him. Cinnamon backed ears had picked up the faint thunder and crash of the ocean and he'd been pulled towards it. He headed for the eastern parts of the territory, having glimpsed a beach there early this morning on his regular run. As he approached, the silvery form of a wolf he didnt know came to him and Saul smiled softly It would be nice to talk to the former Phoenix Valley members, get to know them. They would be family soon enough, so why stay away. He shifted quickly up into his two-legged form, approaching the sands with a small smile on his face. As he came closer he saw a stick of charcoal in the mans hand, a piece of paper with hundreds of marked points on it. What a skill to have. "Good evening... A beautiful night for gazing at the stars, don't you think?" Saul commented before sitting down facing the ocean a few yards away from the man. Better not intrude completely on whatever he was doing.
