The young Stormbringer male had been busy the past few days, getting things ready for the project he'd had in his mind for a long time. The horses that stayed in the barn weren't exactly the safest they could be with the back half of the roof caved in. Plus the fact that with a lot of Ichikan's now owning horses, and housing them in the barn, space was getting a bit tight. They could probably fit only a few more horses in the remaining stalls and then they would have no space left. So it was time to fix the barn and make stalls out of whatever was left. The young Hui K'o had spent the past couple of days collecting enough wood to replace the broken planks on the roof, to get the roof at least up and running. There were other buildings at the ranch that needed fixing, but the barn was the most urgent it seemed. As he'd began to make a stock pile of wood, others had gotten curious and he'd managed to enlist the help of those around him. He was pleased to see that his sisters companion Lewis was up for helping out. He seemed like a good guy and Saul hoped that whatever was going on between the two of them was what they both wanted.


He'd woken this morning and made his usual rounds. They would have to make sure all the animals were turned out into the fields before they started to get to work on the roof. They would need to clear out all of the broken bits, get rid of the rubbish that was around and generally organise the wood that had come down when the roof had collapsed into what could be used on the roof and what could be used elsewhere. The wolves of Ichika had to be very resourceful, as with anywhere else they lived. They couldnt waste the wood and would be able to re-use it anywhere else. Of course, they would have to use some new bits of wood, especially when rebuilding the stalls for the horses. He made his way out to the barn at about ten, hoping to get a head start on clearing away the debris before everyone else turned up. He'd told them about noon and they'd been all to happy to help out.


He spent a good few minutes getting all of the horses out of the barn and into the paddocks. They seemed happy enough to roam around and eat the grass so Saul left them all to it, moving towards the damaged part of the barn. This collapse was much bigger than the roof in Cerne Rise that they'd fixed. It was practically half the barns roof. With a deep breath, he began to clear away the rubble, always sorting through what they could use and what couldnt be used on the roof, making a large pile of simple rubbish in the center. In ways he resembled some kind of tornado, rushing through the barn. In his wake was cleanliness and space instead of destruction, but his energy was on the same par. This would be how others found him, waist deep in the rubble, sorting and cleaning and thinking.

He was so emersed in his job, sorting, shifting, occasionally sweeping, that he almost missed Eclipse entering the barn. He was pleased she'd agreed to come and help him- she'd been there when they'd fixed the apartment roof so she was aquainted with the process they went through. She entered silently and didnt say anything to him, simply started on the rubbish and rubble a few yards away from him. Saul paused and glanced over at her, a smile creeping on his lips. If they didnt have a job to do, Saul would have been tempted to jump over and entice his cousin into play. But they had a job to do so instead he chuck a small chunk of wood at her arm instead.


"Don't say hello then!"


He laughed, a big grin lighting his face up. He moved back to his work in case she threw something back at him before another presence burst into the barn. Saul glanced back to see his favourite niece, well his only niece so far, waltz in looking a bit flustered. In all honesty he hadnt been checking on the time so he wasnt aware how 'late' his niece was. He shrugged instead, offering her a smile. He was pleased that two of his own family members were willing to come and help out and well as whoever else decided to come along. He looked around him, noticing that he'd managed to make a good lead in the center of the rubble but the outside were still looking a bit bad. He nodded towards the right side with a smile.


"No problem Mele's. Over there is looking a bit neglected... If you could start sorting things out into things that we can reuse and rubbish, that would be a great help."


He said, aiming a small chunk of wood at her as well when she moved to get past him- best not let her feel left out. Another noice to the entrance of the barn made him stop and turn. The black and white female he'd become aquainted with through the very barn they were helping to fix stood there before coming forward. She looked distracted, a little self conscious maybe, and as Eclipse had done, she didnt say a word as she moved forward. He watched her for a second, noticing how she picked up quickly what they were doing. With the four of them, it would take less time than he thought to get everything sorted out and cleared away.


"Thanks for coming along Adonia. This is my cousin Eclipse and my niece Melee. Girls, this is Adonia, she looks after the animals."


He said, flashing Adonia a smile before getting back to it. Hopefully between he and Melee they would be able to get some kind of conversation flowing in here.
