dont be silly, your writing it lovely! <33

The idle chit chat that had passed between the two males faded as they began to move through the houses around them. Often they would split and look on their own, calling out to the other if they thought they had found something good. More often, they stuck together, examining the doors in front of them. Both of them had a mental checklist that they were trying to tick off, and so far only a few doors previously found had ticked only one of two boxes. In any case, none of the doors they had looked at were suitable for their use. It was hard, trying to find something to fit an already existing doorway. If they didnt find something soon, Saul was seriously considering making the doors from scratch, perhaps with Temo's help. Although it didnt feel hopeless, per say, there was a monotony about it that felt like his brain was being sucked out. The male chuckled softly at the thought, earning him a questioning glance from the older male, which Saul shook his head to.

It wasn't too long later that the two arrived at a building that made them pause. There was an overhang to this building that had sheilded the door from wind, rain, snow and anything else Mother Nature decided to throw at it. Of course, it hadnt completely escaped the years of neglect and misuse. The doors were faded and pale in places where the weather had managed to get through. The hinges were rusted and broken. That wasnt too much of an issue, because the hinges on the old door had been in good condition. He walked forward with Temo, examining the doors. Cinnamon backed ears flashed forward as Temo began to speak and Saul nodded softly. The male turned to him and asked him his opinion, plus a good summary of the doors as a whole.

"I think that we may have found our doors. A little bit of work isnt going to take long, I shouldnt think. Shall we?"

He asked, moving forward to examine the hinges. They were so rusted that a tug on the door he was examining caused it to pitch forward a slight inch, indication that pulling on them was probably going to work this time. It looked like the wooden door frame was beginning to rot, a fate that the agouti male was pleased the doors themselves had escaped. He glanced at Temo once before pulling heavily on the door he had been examining. With a screech, it pulled free of the door frame and Saul managed to lay it gently on the floor before it fell there itself anyway.

"Saul speaks." Saul thinks.
