Faolan had spent the morning and part of the afternoon in town, searching for a solution to Aurel's request. Though the Irishman would admit he was "handy", he did also enjoy larger projects like this as they helped to keep his hands and his mind sharp. He doubted he would find exactly what he was hoping for here, that was like locating a needle in a haystack, but he may at least acquire the materials needed to start the project, or source some ideas at the very least.

He searched hardware shops, repair sheds, junk dumps, and some stores more geared towards motorized travel and handicrafts. While he did not find exactly what he was looking for, after several hours of searching he was pointed in the right direction by a good Samaritan in town. Satisfied that he'd found all that town had to offer, he made a stop at the grocer and picked up some ingredients for supper and things the trio needed in general, then headed back to their shared home.

Once there, he got to work immediately, hoping to finish by dinner and catch up on the work he had missed during the day. The family had been more than happy to let him have the morning off, he was a hard worker and had gotten finished with a lot of things they asked for ahead of schedule. His current project was repairing some structural damage to the house itself, in particular the pantry.

Once he had done a good amount of work for the day, he hurried back to the trailer to see Lucien and Aurel. He could hear them talking inside, even from far off, but made it a point not to listen to the actual words. He had never been a fan of eavesdropping, even if it was by accident. He had caught sight of them in the house, but stayed away so as not to disrupt their lessons. He was glad to see Lucien, as he always was, and felt as though a weight was lifted from him as he laid eyes on his beloved's face. The smile that almost appeared fell immediately when he noticed that the expression on Lucien's face was tense and unhappy. The Irishman glanced at Aurel, who did not appear upset, but who was also not smiling.

Faolan closed the door quietly as he entered, unsure of what to say or how to approach this situation.
