An ominous silence had fallen over Casa, foretelling of the coming storm. Alister rushed to gather what boards and bits of dry timber he could find. Fortunate that Hadley had enough to spare, once this passed he would be sure to help replenish the man's supply. His sword and shield lay abandoned in the courthouse, traded in favor for the practicality of hammer and nails. The hybrid was from the inland and had little experience with nature's cruelty. For good measure he'd murmured a quiet prayer just before setting to work that day. It was so quiet, hard to imagine the torrential downpour and jarring winds that would soon set upon them. God help them, but it wasn't God that would see them through. They had to help themselves. There was much to do, and little enough time to do it.
He set a board flat against the window, nailing it firmly in place. He did the same with another and another until the glass was shielded. It wasn't the neatest job, he supposed, but it would serve. There were still many more to go. Alister issued no word of complaint, but continued on with his task, undaunted by the remainder of the work that had yet to be done. Many in his new home had been eager to lend their aid, inspiring the tawny knight, and he'd quickly volunteered himself for the task.
