back from the dead — o, checking the walls

[jacob w.c.]

THE BLUE AND GREEN BELOW IS A MASTERPIECE — While Jacob was happy to leave behind the infected tunnels and come to their new home, he had to admit there were some things that weren't quite finished. When the humans moved in, they started repairing a lot of the old cabins but they hadn't got all the way through before Snowbound and Typhoon had invaded and chased them out. Of course, after all the damage they'd done, they certainly had a right to come in and use their land as they saw fit but there was a part of him that almost wished he'd have waited just a couple more weeks for some of their projects to be complete. There was also a part of him that told himself if he'd been in Typhoon when Pincher's wounds had reopened, he would've been able to save him. If he had found him bleeding out, Jacob would never have lost him for a whole week. Still, he knew it was useless to dwell on it all seeing he couldn't change any of it and it was better to focus on the repairs moving forward. 

That was part of the reason he'd asked Aizawa to check the walls. He genuinely believed that, if properly taken care of, they could be a nice asset to Snowbound's new home. Of course, nothing would be as protected as the old tunnels but with the move they'd had to give up things to gain other things. For example, there was no infected prey here that would try to eat them. However, it certainly couldn't be as protected from potential invaders as easily. There were only two entrances that could be guarded in the past but now they had a whole range of land that could be walked in on. The walls would help narrow that space a little as long as they were tall enough. While there were creatures like dragons running about, they weren't the majority and it'd make Jacob feel better if not just anything could get over their walls. It would make this new setup a little easier to manage after being in the tunnels for so long. With all of this on his mind, he approached Atbash and Aizawa with a light smile. He knew he wouldn't be able to do any heavy lifting because of the state of his legs but perhaps he could help with other things. "What do ya' think we could use ta' keep all the stones together? If we ain't sure, I could try lookin' in some ah' my books. I feel like I remember seein' somethin' like tha' once," the canine asked, looking over the fallen rocks and dilapidated wall. — BUT YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL LIKE I'VE NEVER SEEN
