Always!<3 This kinda sucks. I am sorry. Also, do we fade now, or continue? I am fine either way :3 Word Count: -- The two friends admired their work, and as they did their faces split in two. A row of teeth shot across their masks as they grinned at their work and each other. After the ropes were fastened they packed the earth back into the hole, around the log. Dawali gestured towards the hole and wordlessly signalized that he wanted the bigger stones to circle the log's end, instead of just dirt. Stone was more compact and stable than earth, and would probably better survive rainfall and moist weather. This log would be part of the outer wall, and it was crucial that it could be trusted. Once finished, Dawali took some steps back and admired their work yet again, now noticing how several of the ropes were slack; it proved them right. Their plan had worked! He looked from the log to his friend with a truly enthusiastic grin before he moved to Belle and loosened her ropes. As the Kalona realized the log would stay upright, and steadily, he uttered a loud exclamation; a primal cry of victory, but subdued compared to an actual warcry. "Yeah!" Belle jumped slightly, surprised at the sound which bellowed out of her master. Now with in a calmer way, but still heroically, he continued; "It works like a charm, Hemming! We're gonna actually build this thing!" He could not believe it. He knew his father would have been proud to see this. |
