"What the fuck."
Gareth put his hands to his head as he surveyed the damage. Somehow, while he'd been at work, the roof on the tower of his house had gotten a massive hole in it. The timing couldn't have been worse—they were due for a blizzard any day now, and it was going to be hard enough to get through it without having a hole in his roof. He left Nighthoof to graze in the yard and made his way inside, storming up the steps to check the damage.
He half-expected to find a cannonball sitting on his bed, from the way the roof looked. Instead it was just splintered wood and shingles. "Fuck me," he said, running his hands over his face. He checked that the birds were okay, but they'd all clustered together in the loft, looking extraordinarily round with their feathers all fluffed up. He looked back up at the hole in his roof.
If he threw a bit of sailcloth over it… but, no. This needed to get fixed, and fast. The weather witches were saying this was going to be an absolute bitch of a storm, and they were only wrong with significant magical intervention. If he pulled an all-nighter… it still wouldn't be fixed by the time he had work tomorrow.
Shit.
He made his way to the desk to write a note of explanation, letters tiny to fit on the small scroll. Emergency at home—won't be in tomorrow. Ask B. Corey to supervise library time for Ren as day off. Will update. —G.
"C'mon, Pudge," he said, coaxing the black homing fantail out of the loft. He held her against his chest as he tied to message to one fluffy foot. He'd taught them to travel between the castle and his home with the liberal giving of treats—which also meant that whenever one got out, it would immediately try to flee to wherever it wasn't out of sheer greed. The idea that they were only supposed to do this when they had messages hadn't penetrated. Still, it worked out more often than it didn't.
He let Pudge go, and she took flight through the hole in the roof. He sighed as he watched her go. He'd really been hoping to get to bed on time, tonight.
Colin didn't knock before he opened the door to Ren's room, because he never did. "You should pick out a good outfit for tomorrow," he said, sounding extraordinarily self-satisfied. "Sounds like Gareth was told not to bother coming in for a week or two."
He whistled a cheerful tune as he shut the door.
