ooc: 3 points.
The male finished his circling around the house and finally came back around, from the side of the oak, back to where he started inspecting the house. It seemed that the roof needed quite a bit of work done, moreso than the walls on the side. The back of the house was alright, the storms hadn't really touched the back of the house, but the rest of the house took the big blows.
He had stepped up onto the porch, hearing the creaking of the wood as his weight was put on it. At the very top, he leaned against the post that kept supporting the front of the house, crossing his arms and curling his tail around one of his legs idly. Bangle perked up, however, at a voice that he had heard a few times before, and turned his head to see the big man, Shawchert, heading in his direction. The coywolf's concerns melted away for the moment, and he waved to the other man.
"'Elo there, pal!" He said to the male as he approached. Bangle never knew why he just didn't call anyone by their name. It wasn't that he had a problem remembering names, but he had nicknames for everyone he met, usually. 'Looks like you’re going to need a little help with that huh?' He chuckled, craning his neck around to look at the front door, which was partially open, then back to the larger male. "Guess ya could see that from a mile away, eh?" At the offer of assistance, Bangle grinned even wider (if that was even possible), his tail wagging from side to side.
"Ya mean it? I didn' know ya were a carpenter! I'd love a hand or two." And, with that, like an excited child he jumped from the top of the porch to the ground with a resounding thud, his bracelets and necklaces shaking every which way, reaching for Shaw's hand and shaking it, both in greeting and as a thank you gesture. Once he let go of the wolf's hand, he stood next to him, facing the house once again. "So uh.. how d'we tackle this thing?"
