Let no one say that becoming human dulled Soleil 's hunting instincts. Her improvised racket caught the birdie dead to rights in Halo's most exciting game of badminton yet. She smacked the silly thing halfway across the room in a puff of white feathers and a surprised squawk of indignation. Lightly concussed, it looked back to see not one but two whole dragons swooping at it. With a strangled noise of terror it fled out the door ahead of Alys.
Alys had no trouble scooping up a nest with the distraction provided by Boreal, who was no illusion. She gleefully pounced towards the hens, chasing them around the inside of the building until one of them flew out the door. She bounded after it with a belch of fire as soon as she was outside. Alys made it out without further trouble from the remaining hen, who had scampered back around to the hearth only to find her nest gone and had set up a panicked clucking while she ran in circles.
Tal dodged around her to grab up the remaining nest, then shooed her towards the door. The first hen had disappeared give or take some feathers lingering suspiciously from Boreal's chin but the male ningo and the second hen soon found the nest Alys had relocated (and Tal had surreptitiously tipped the eggs from the second nest into) and settled down to brood over it.
The courier shook his head in resigned annoyance at the birds and turned around to look at the exterior of the building with a frown. "Looks like th'wooden sidin' needs replaced there," he said, pointing to an area a few feet wide where some wood rot had clearly set in and the siding had turned cracked and soft. There wasn't a hole in the wall yet, but that spot would only last another season or two before crumbling if it wasn't replaced now.
Heading back in, the newly-revealed fireplace was lit up with some convenient daylight courtesy of some actual holes where the river rocks used to build it had fallen out of their mortar. "Those need t'be replaced an' mortared back in." Whoever chose that task, he would point to the mortar bucket that just needed a little water to thin up. The missing stones would be found on the outside of the fireplace in the little backyard.
"An' now that we've got the crap out, th' place needs a good sweepin' an' scrubbin' out. 'Specially after what those ningos did," he added with a grimace, going to fetch the broom and mop from where they'd been waiting outside with his other supplies.
Round 3:
- There are stones knocked out of the fireplace that need to be replaced and mortared back in
- The exterior wooden siding on the front wall has been weathered and started to rot. It needs to be replaced before it becomes a hole
- The downstairs room needs to be swept and mopped out.
No posting order! Tal will take what's leftover.
