His head was groggy from the good nights sleep he'd had. Now that the repairs were being made for the roof, he'd slept easier. It had seemed to fall on him to get things going, although he knew Range was beginning to clean up downstairs. He'd decided to put the boy onto cleaning out the old dining room to the back of the property. It was a bit awkward in structural design- all four apartments were at the front of the building and the stairs and elevator seemed to cut it in half. Between the elevator and staircase, two wide double doors lead into a large and spacious area that Saul intended to turn into a common room for them to socialise or whatever. Range had begun tidying that out for him, although nothing of use was thrown away. Saul had become quite the hoarder in things that would become eventually useful for him and he'd made sure Range kept all the chairs and tables that were undamaged. They would come in useful some day, he was sure. Still, he'd gone to bed the night before exhausted. They'd spent all day in Apartment Eight, clearing away everything, getting the A-beam supports up again. Clearing away the debris had taken a lot of time and the male felt his whole body ache with the work they'd gotten through yesterday. But it had been good to be around his family, to know they wanted to see this place in its former splendor as much as he did.

The tapping on his door was not unexpected- Eclipse had asked him yesterday while they were doing the roof if he would accompany her to do her initiation task. Range had offered, but Saul had said it was fine and that she should knock early on his door. He stretched with a groan, throwing on his customary shorts and t-shirt. He didnt want to disturb Siku so he left quietly. He found his cousin out in the hallway, the bad of seeds in her hand. She still had a slight reserved and nervous air about her, but that was to be expected. He rubbed her arm softly by way of encouragement before he offered words.

"Good morning Eclipse... A good nights sleep?"

He asked, thinking of his deep and satisfying slumber. He would have to organise his days from now on, to make sure he got everything done as he needed. There was no shortage of days, but some of the things that needed to be done needed doing within a short amount of time. Still, he could always spare an hour for his cousin, who had stuck close to him since arriving three days ago.
