All In All It's Just Another Brick In the Wall

Paws pull at the frozen earth as it takes time and effort to break the frosty crust. Once through, red paws start to churn the dirt underneath, pulling up and away piles of dirt. When Ruga finds her, Keahi is elbows deep in the earth and about a quarter of the way up along the path of this side of the wall. Blue eyes turn to look up at the tired man and the red wolf gives him a knowing smile.

Panting slightly from the exertion, she deftly leaps out of the hole to crosses over to where a jug of water sits near the burning forage. The fire will keep the liquid from freezing and she pours herself a drink. Taking a long pull, she then turns to the tall Master of Arms and clears her throat before saying, “Mornin’ Ruga. I tried to be quiet but there are only many hours of light in the day and this will take a while.” Dirt clings to the fur of her red legs as she pours some more water for herself and offers the sleepy wolf a glass as well.

Putting the jug down, Keahi turns to the area she has been working and says, “I’m about a quarter of the way done digging out this side of the wall. Why don’t you grab a snack and then you can either start laying stones or help dig. It’s up to you.” Her smile is friendly as the red woman finishes off her drink water before returning to the broken earth to work.
