Lusius was quick to get working by instead of using his gathered tools to clear the burnt woods to instead clear out what loose scraps could be done by hand, such as the burned remains of his chairs and the small table that sat between them. Sadly there wasn't much left but some ashed wood. Regardless with that out of the way he set about cutting and pealing away the bad structure, taking out scorched or broken boards to make sure that his home didn't have any true weaknesses to come up later. Of course it would make building it back up both harder and more time consuming, but at least it would pay off in the long run.

Though before he and Draco could get far in the work Shai came down in her... his clothes. Much like she said, they were a little big for her but that didn't matter too much. Instead what was more distracting was the amount of hip and rump she was showing thanks to the fact that they were not made for somebody with a tail. But now was not the time to stare and instead he listened to her words. She really did have a cute giggle... Wait what? Uh... [color=red]"Well, we need to get all the boards that are burned in the slightest out so we can replace them tomorrow. So let's just get to work on peeling those away first."[/color] Then he rejoined the work effort to clear away the damages. All the while thinking about where would be a good place to sleep through the night. Though with the bed intact he would be able to at least curl under the sheets for warmth against the cold night.

That was when Shai spoke up about sleeping elsewhere and that made him remember what she said previously, specifically about not really having a home to call her own. Pausing his work once more he thought about how he didn't want her to rest in some cold, dark cave or under a tree where the frigid winds could freeze her. But with her ideas of being a burden he figured something would have to be done to get that mindset out. [color=red]"There's no need to go away. There may be a big hole in the wall but at least it should help a little to keep you warm through the night. We can just block the hole and cover the hall to keep warm. And besides I can't have you leaving because how am I to know you'd come back? What's stopping you from leaving me with load of work that you claim to have given us."[/color] His words cold but his tone warm and almost joking, trying to show that he'd rather her be close and taken care of rather than away and uncertain of her fate.
