We took the road less traveled by

FFFFFFFFFFFFF. So I was such a derp, had a long post for this, and ended up closing the tab by accident ;_; Anywho, sorry this is short, I'm still on vaca, but thanks for replying so quickly <3. Feel free to do what your characters think they need to do, or speed things up as needed throughout the day. I found this and this to hopefully be of some help.

The coywolf's grin became wider as the members of the pack began to approach. First was Evelyn, another craftsman (or woman), whom he knew the least. But he knew she was just as excited about this day as he was. He eyed the many tools she had upon her arrival, and nodded approvingly. Then Tal was next, and Bangle offered a warm, wide smile in his direction. The white wolf had helped deliver his children, for which the coywolf would be eternally grateful. However, in his present mindset he wanted to get away from them for a day or two, and concentrate on the task at hand.

His hand patted Jack's neck as Tal approached the creature, and watched as the horse munched happily on the proffered fruit. "I didn' care fer 'em either, at first. But they're useful beasts, good fer what we need." The craftsman winked in the direction of the other male, watching as Sky then approached. Her demeanor was happier, much different than when she approached Skye's porch that night she returned. Orange eyes looked suggestively at the two, as the female wolfdog hugged the white male in a friendly way and briefly mentioned her goat. "Best keep yer pet contained, Sky," he said, taking a step or two away from the horse and towards the large pile of wood. Then, he turned his head back to them, beads jingling in the process. "N' yer goat too!" The coywolf then laughed loud into the clear sky, something he hadn't done recently with the family stress upon his now shaking shoulders, knowing the group would find good humor in his words.

As soon as his laughter had started, though, it stopped. There was a much more important task at hand. Clearing his throat, he looked at each wolf in turn. "'Elo friends!" He began, his mood already brightening with the rising sun in the sky. "As yeh know, we're 'ere t' build a travelin' wagon fer the pack. It needs t'be spacious, yet sturdy fer long journeys. It'll be pulled by two horses," he said, pointing over his shoulder at the beast. Jack nickered, as if he knew he was being spoken about. "We'll be lookin', perhaps even tradin', fer more horses. But in the meantime we 'ave one t' help us out. Jack 'ere can pull any heavy things, or help carry s'more wood if there ain't enough 'ere." Though the halter was back at Skye's house, it wasn't far from their location. Each of them had everything prepared the day before, but Bangle knew to expected the unexpected.

"We'll be needin' a frame first, n' there's plenty of space 'ere to set it up. We'll need large, flat pieces of wood t'start." Bangle pointed at the large stack, almost wishing he had drawn out plans. But he was no artist, he was a craftsman who built what he saw in his head. Rubbing his hands together, his grin became impossibly wide. "Any questions? If not, let's get t'work!"
