Tal might not have had the demigod's strength, but he'd figured out a way around it. Not content to stand around idle while Noah did all the work - not when the courier was accomplished in woodworking for the creation and repair of his dog sleds - he followed the other man to where the supplies waited and had Boreal hold a corner of his Bag of Holding so he could slide boards into it, one after the other, until it looked like they'd have plenty for the repair and expansion of the dock.
Measure twice, cut once, as his aunt always said. He took a second set of measurements and compared them with Noah's before taking a second saw and cleaning up the broken edges of the hole so they could fit the new boards in place. Once Noah had the replacements ready, Tal took up the hammer and grinned at the hunter. "Won't take off any more o'yours than I've taken of mine," he promised, wiggling his own whole and hale fingers for show. Then he went to work, making sure the new boards were snug and tight as well as secure.
