They'd moved in yesterday to the apartment building that was going to become home. They didnt have a lot of belongings to move in, to claim their own apartments and spend their first night there. There was a lot to do with the building, the front door needed fixing or replacing, a few of the window panes needed replacing although the windows as a whole were in good condition. He supposed it was because the windows were such good quality that they'd survived this long and he was pleased to find the large window upstairs relatively undamaged despite the caved roof so close by. That was the first thing that needed fixing, and the rest would follow. The night before had been their first night in their new homes and Saul had been worried sick. What if they didnt like it here, what if he'd chosen wrong. What if he was forcing them to live here when they didnt want to? These thoughts plagued his mind, moving from Wretch who had taken the apartment next to theirs, to Eclipse who had taken the one across the hall from her. Gideon and Nayru had taken the first room on the ground floor, while Melee and Range took the one adjacent to theirs. They were fresh and new in this building and his first night hadnt exactly been the most restful.

Half of it had come from the work that needed to be done and he woke earlier than usual this morning. He moved easily through the territory now, wondering whether he should go up to the barn and see his horses. Arete had been rather indignant that he leave her there when he'd dropped them off the day before yesterday, after Eclipse had been accepted into Ichika. But there was too much to do today and he'd finally roped Gideon into helping him out. He knew his darker brother wasnt excellent at manual labour, and Saul probably could fix the roof on his own. But it would be nice to have his brother help. Since Saul had found the apartment building, he's scoured the lands for suitable bits of wood to replace those broken, It had been easy in the unpicked towards of Westville and Trenton to find suitable pieces of wood to replace the roof with. Most of the tiles were fine to put back up- he just needed to replace all the wood before hand.

The summer morning light was bright in the corridor of Cerne Rise as he exited his room again- he'd already been out for his bath and morning run. He gave a soft 'good morning' to Wretch before he entered the room of apartment eight. He would be spending a bit of time in here over the next few days, fixing it up, making it habitable.
