He had no idea that Siku was going to come along. She had been reclusive as of late and the young agouti male didnt know what to do about his best friends reservedness. He remembered being back in Dahlia, playing in the snow with the white wolf who was scared of shifting. He remembered his first time meeting her, her seeking acceptance when she was all on her own. She'd intrigued him then, and he was not disappointed. As her white form moved into the doorway, her timid voice asking if she was late, the young males face lit up. He shook his head softly before replying with "Not at all Siku- come in, come in." He called from his corner. Range looked up and waved softly, offering a pleasent "Hello Siku" before going back to stacking the tiles in his corner of the room. Saul flashed a smile at his nephew, which the brown and creme male returned. He was a pleasent and nice boy, a testiment to Gideon's parenting. Saul remembered when he'd first found out about Gideon's children, wondering what on earth his brother had been thinking. But it was clear his brother had been ready to take on that responsibility.

Siku stepped around Gideon and Eclipse, coming closer. He didnt understand the flipping in his stomach, the light headed happiness, nor the tug of his heart towards her. She stopped in front of him, laying a gentle hand down on his face for just a few moments before she turned to survey the room. It left her vulnerable from him and he glanced around once before sneakily nipping at the end of Siku's tail. Range looked up and laughed quietly and Saul cast him a sidelong glance. "Siku, if you could help Eclipse tidying up around here, I think we're mostly done with gathering all the whole tiles. Now that its all in piles, we'll be able to reuse them better. If you and Eclipse could start cleaning, sweeping all the dirt into a big pile in the middle, start getting things cleared up, it would be a big help. I need to go up and start ripping down all the broken bits of roof." He said with a chuckle. Standing up once more, he almost missed Wretch in the doorway. She had crept forward without saying a word. Saul smiled softly and beckoned her forward. "Come on Wretch, you can come and help Siku and Eclipse. Just start clearing away all the rubbish sweety."

He smiled softly before looking around. He needed something to standing on to actually get to the roof. He spotted a dining table that was tall enough to get him up to the ceiling. It was undamaged, which surprised him. He dragged it over, almost knocking over his pile of carefully placed tiles in the process. However, Range steadied the pile before coming to stand by the table and hold that steady as Saul clambered on top of the table. He could reach the broken roof now, the sunlight warm on his head. And a deep breath, he began to drag in all the damaged wood and tiles back into the room. The damaged area wasnt as big as they first thought and within fifteen minutes the male had cleared away all of the damaged roof and secured a rectangle where he needed to replace the roof. He paused for a moment, looking back down and smiling softly towards his family.
