Long strides were bouyant and bouncy as the agouti male made his way out of Trenton. He was feeling just a little bit pleased with himself this time- Wretch's leg had been set properly and while it was still very much broken, the cast he'd put on it would make sure it healed straight this time. Her flesh wounds were cleaned regularly and while they still have no idea who had attacked her, and she remained in her room once more, the male felt just a little happier that she was on the mend. He'd left Ichika a few days ago to see if he could track down Saluce- in his mind, perhaps Wretch wouldnt have been attacked if the warrior had been there. But he and Hermes had found an old friend of Sauls instead. Ever had emerged from the brush on a golden horse and they'd begun talking. Her scent had niggled at him until she'd told him what was going on in her life, and he'd finally told her she was pregnant. It had been a shock for the woman and at first she hadnt believed him. That much was obvious. But the male had persisted, asking a few delicate questions that meant her pregnancy was undisputed. The bearer of good news, or bad, he wasnt sure. But after a few snippets of conversation on each side, the male had finally admitted that he had to head back. He'd gotten back to Ichika in the early hours of the morning two das ago and had taken Hermes back to the barn to rest. The journey down into the mainland was long, for both of them.

Yesterday had been spent cleaning his own rooms. He'd seen Eclipse had managed to clear some of the weeds away from the garden, overjoyed that she had taken matters into her own hands and begun to clear it away. He was aware also that she had taken up the position of cook and he was pleased that his cousin was beginning to intergrate herself into Ichika. She had been so awkward and shy, so unlike his cousin, that he had wondered if she was ever going to get back to the energetic and happy girl she had been. He had been so worked up over getting the roof sorted out, the front doors fixed and everything else that he had neglected his own rooms. Siku had started, but she was away, tending to the vineyards a lot. He was fine with that, it was just difficult to get any fun time with her anymore. He knew they'd both grown up, but he knew Siku was still the playful female she'd always been.

The day was cloudy, but it was still warm in the northern parts of Nova Scotia. The male wore a pair of cutoffs shorts and a white t-shirt, plain clothing but there was something about the way he wore them that made them look not so plain. The Ranch lay ahead of him, in need of serious repair. He thought about Temo and wondered if the dark male had been down here to look at the damage to the barn. The whole back of the barn had collapsed and only the front was safe and accesible. It would be nice if they could come together to fix it up and have a fully working barn. He made a mental note to track down the carpenter and ask him whether he thought it a good idea to gather a few able bodied Ichikan's to get it sorted out. With many of them, it might only take a few days to get it fixed properly. He brushed past the paddocks, thinking of his horses inside, when the glint of a latch caught his attention. It was broken, but not snapped. It had come off of its hinges. He paused, fingers pushing it back into place and wondering what it would take to get it back to its normal standard.
