As Saul had brushed himself down, so did the dark male when he noticed the dirt and cobwebs on his own body. There was still a lot to do today, and Saul hoped to have fixed the door by the time night fell. He had a while yet and he was now eternally grateful that he'd found the male who now stood in front of him. Saul nodded softly at Temo's comment, agreeing whole heartedly with the male. It was well worth the effort and the risk to fix the roof and start on the door. His next big job, aside from putting the tiles back up on the roof, was the stairs. They were becoming inceasingly difficult to get up and that was no use. "I agree, the rewards can certainly outweigh the filth and mess of rummaging through buildings." He added, before they allowed that part of their conversation to die away.

The dark male, however, seemed to grow in confidence as a subject was brought up that he knew a lot about. Saul's cinnamon backed ears perked up to catch the males words as he began to talk about larger doors, measurements and hinges. A grin crept over his face- it was clear he had found someone who knew about construction and the kinds of things that Saul was lacking in. Saul thought about his own travels, trying to remember if he'd seen any screws or nails or anything that would be useful. Unfortunately he hadnt had the sense to measure the doors before he'd left. "We'll have to go back and measure the doors. Perhaps we should take down the doors that are up before we leave?" He said, thinking of the rotting and broken lumps of wood that were no good to anyone.

Saul turned to lead the way, making quick work of the broken streets of Trenton. The apartment building sat on the outside, closer to the shore. He approached, wondering who was in. Looking back to make sure Temo was following, he approached the doors. They were in a sorry state and for a moment, he looked at them with pity. They were obviously once grand pieces of wood, but they were shrivelled and worn down. Like two old men, standnig guard over the house that was doing just a bit better. "As you can see, the whole house needs a lot of work!" Saul chuckled, sure Temo could see into the lobby from their vantage point outside. With a sigh, Saul turned back, grasping hold of one of the doors and attempting to pull it off and away from the doorway, so they could measure it properly.

"Saul speaks." Saul thinks.
