Jigano was the first one to get her attention. "Hello, sir! I... " She wanted to say she had this, she didn't need his help because she already felt so indebted to him personally, but the facts of the situation didn't allow for excessive politeness. So she admitted, "...could use some help, yes."
She was about to explain further when someone else joined them. She looked the young man up and down, glanced back to Jigano briefly, and made up her mind. She didn't know this man, but she believed Jigano wouldn't let him try anything, and she could be awfully kicky and scratchy when she wanted to be. She'd take the risk. "Actually, you two could be a big help for me. I have a lot to do and not much time to do it; with you both helping out, it'd get taken care of in no time."
She cleared her throat and, for the benefit of the stranger, introduced herself. "My name is Freina. I'm a seamstress and I also dye cloth and yarn. I'm setting up this house as a combination home and business, and I'd like to focus on the business aspect today.
"The first thing we have to do is deal with the hole in the roof. It's not large, but a hole's a hole. I have some wood and matching shingles... um..." She rooted around until she found them. "...here. I have a ladder inside that I hope is tall enough - and still sturdy enough - to get to the roof." Next year, she'd like to reshingle the whole thing; the newer shingles would stand out. But that was a cosmetic consideration she couldn't deal with right now.
"I got some extra wood and shingles because, well... I accidentally caused that hole." She cleared her throat. "Some of the second floor ceiling was sagging and I poked at it, and... it just fell in. So I want to check to make sure there's no other weaknesses like that before I find out the hard way in the middle of Deepfrost. While I'm poking around - literally - if you two could patch that hole and nail the shingles in, that'd be great. It doesn't have to look perfect, it just has to keep the weather out."
There's wood and shingles to fix the existing hole in the roof. There's no posting order AND you can post more than once, conversing while you fix holes. I may post occasionally if Freina finds a new hole (we'll see what the dice say about that).
We'll move on when we've run out of holes! ...that sounds terrible out of context.
