Gonna build a wall and make Ethne pay for it

It's a joke, but one that resonates. Wake's snicker can't be concealed-- at least he's being useful today, so maybe he'll be off the hook for a little while. At least in his head, right? Stacking the stone and shifting it into place, ramming his shoulder against the slab to make sure it's just right. Taking a step back before finding another rock that's fallen out of place over time. "Should we be like... using something to secure these? Or does this look alright?" Looking to Modesty as he hoists the rock with a grumble.

Her question hangs in his head, mulling it over-- chewing the lesson along with manual labor. If the wall isn't good for keeping goats in, were they getting more animals? No... Jael or someone would have mentioned it. "Will it keep predators out? Are there predators that are like, less agile than goats?" Curious, rummaging through his (limited) common sense.
