Rance thanked Freina for the ladder and got to work. While Jigano worked on the brace, Rance pried up the old shingles around the hole. More than one broke or crumbled again as he slid them off the roof, a sign of just how neglected the building was. Freina was going to be fighting problems for seasons to come, he was willing to wager.
His assumption was proven correct a lot sooner than he'd expected as he heard a crack and a smaller hole opened up further along the roof. And then another. Sounds from the other side of the roof made it likely that they were over there as well. Brows knit, Rance straightened as the last shingle was pried up from this section of roof. "Well, fuck." Jigano had returned while he was working and called up at that moment to announce the securing of the brace. Rance looked back through the hole, seeing both the Provost and the young lady they were assisting.
"You might as well come up. Looks like there's more damage than we thought. You, too, miss, if you think you'll be steady on the ladder. The roof's not too steep, I can do without it if I'm not the only one up here." He stripped off his jacket as he talked, rolling up his sleeves. "I'll start on the board for this hole if you want to bring the shingles up with you."
With that, Rance followed word with action, flying down to the ground and bringing back the replacement board and the needed tools.
Rance is nailing in the board over the first hole and will move onto shingling once Jigano is up there!
