Yay for thread! WC: 300+
Deciding to brave the cold temperatures outside once again, Ehno went out that afternoon to gather a bit more lumber for future projects. So far he didn’t have any big plans to put his new-found carpentry skills to use, but he thought it would be best to always be prepared. He could spend his time now honing his skills on smaller projects so that whenever any bigger plans popped up, he would be fully prepared. He was sure that by then he would have obtained a sufficient about of both the resources and experience he would need to tackle a large project. He was quite pleased with all of the progress he had already made thus far.
The Italian boy had spent much of the early afternoon felling one of the trees in the nearby forest. He had underestimated how long it would take to be done with the smaller axe he had scavenged from the city. Despite how handy it would have been to bring the large battle-axe to take it down, he had been better off bringing the smaller one so that he could break the log into smaller, easier to carry pieces. He broke it down into a few long, rough planks and a few more smaller pieces he had fit into his well-worn travel bag, along with some of the bark just in case Naniko found it handy to use; he was almost certain he had seen her keep some in her stash of medical supplies before.
Ehno finally made his way past the small white picket fence around the mansion, one hand carrying his axe and bag, the other awkwardly steadying the longer planks as he carried them over his shoulder. He walked along the small, snow-covered path and came to a halt at the manor’s porch. Dropping his bag on the porch and placing the axe beside it, he carefully moved to put the planks down to that they leaned on the porch railing. With a sigh of relief, he sat himself down on one of the steps. It was a bit of a challenge carrying all of that from out in the forest.
