Awesome, guys!
The redheaded man nodded at the three of them, watching with a leader's pride that the last batch of young were just getting in to their feet and learning their place in the world. No children of his own, his paternal instincts leaked out here and there. However, his desire for offspring had long been stifled and dimmed. Better no one share his little quirks. Giving them all a nod, even as Skoll grabbed a shovel. Strel caught the look he gave to the machete and reached for it himself. Perhaps giving the knife to young still new to shifting, relatively, was a bad idea. While no strong beast, at least the Dauphin could hack at saplings. If only he could have found gardening sheers; that would have been fantastic.
"Okay guys, let's get to it. I'll go start hacking off some saplings. Ayita, between you and your son, figure out who will use the wheelbarrow to cart off smallish rocks and easy to pull out bushes and who will take the other shovel and start digging out the stumps and heavy rocks." Naturally, that was what Skoll would do as he had taken the first shovel. He looked at the one or two huge boulders. "We'll all have to roll those big things out," he added with a gesture toward the stones. Jerking his head, the Dauphin dismissed them all to get to their tasks. Hopefully no one would do something silly or get hurt; he did not want that on his conscience.
