sorry dear! and yeah, its fine <33

Cinnamon backed ears flashed back as the black male spoke. They'd arrived at the house and Temo took it in with a practised look. The repairs to the roof could only just be seen from the front of the house, a few of the newer pieces of timber the only indication that something was going on back there. It seemed silly that Saul would need the males help for the door when he was perfectly capable of fixing a roof. But it was more than that- it was nice to meet others and let them help out. Saul nodded softly, thinking of the rotten staircase within. That needed the most work and was the next job on his list of things to do. "It was a lucky find, I think. I have a large family, with the promise of more to come, and there is enough space for us right now, and when there are more of us." He thought briefly of Nayru and Gideon, a smile dancing across his face. He was sure that soon enough, Gideon would have children of his own, by blood, and Saul would have blood-nieces and nephews running around. It wasnt like Melee and Range weren't family. They were as much his family as Gideon and Ascher were. But there was always the issue of blood between them. They were Conor's siblings, even if they didnt know it.

The strength in his arms was large, but the door was stronger than him. He tugged at the door, feeling the creak and groan but there was no success in moving the door an inch. Despite the severe rotting and warping that meant it was unuseable as a door, it was very well built. Temo interjected and Saul let go with a grin. He liked the male in front of him, he was a down to earth kind of wolf that Ichika needed. Perhaps he would call on him again when then stairs needed ripping out- there was no way to repair them. Still, he listened to Temo rummage around in the tool box he'd bought, extracting a screwdriver. From there, the two worked in relative ease, speaking only to direct each other. The screws came away easily and Saul collected them up. They were all in pretty good condition, testiment from his earlier tugging that had had no effect. Working with another wolf not his own family was nice and the two of them were quick on the second door.

Saul watched as the man bought out a tape measure- he'd read about them but had never seen one, and it was in good condition as well. Noting down the measurements on a stray bit of wood easier enough to carry with a pencil from the toolbox Temo had bought with him, the two of them were set. Temo spoke again and Saul nodded softly. "Lets go find some doors." And with that, the two of them set off back the way they'd come. It might take them all day to find suitable doors. At the first house they came to, the two stopped and measured up. No where near the right size or shape. And so it continued, the two of them checking most of the intact doors they came across, seeing what could be found.

"Saul speaks." Saul thinks.
