Plink.
Plink.
Plink.
Thomas' eyelids fluttered as the noise continued. After the fifth 'Plink', he stumbled out of the bed, and staggered to his window, bleary-eyed and confused.
"Thomas!" Cecile called out as soon as he threw open the shutters. "Get dressed and come down here!"
Okay... what is it that they couldn't come in and wake me up for? The Castle's steward thought as he hastily threw on some clothes and splashed his face with water before hurrying down.
"Cecile? Muto? What's going on?" He asked as the guard and storehouse keeper quickly grabbed him by the arm.
"We got a surprise for you!" The Kobold barked as they quickly carted the young man off, who quickly ended up being literally dragged, unable to keep up with their pace.
"Ta-da!" The two threw their hands out at what they wanted Thomas to see so badly.
"Wha...what?!" The young man blinked in shock as he stared at several piles of building materials, and the fact most of the residents are sitting patiently, with various tools in their hands. "...uhm, wha... what's going on?" He questioned as he cocked his head.
"Well, Master Thomas," Sebastian wiped his brow. "Since we have been having problems acquiring any contractor work, everyone had put their heads together, and decided that we will do our own repairs."
"Bu...! Th-thank you!" Thomas exclaimed as he leaned forward, hands spread out out in shock as his eyes visibly widen. "I... I don't know what to say!"
"Uhm..." A young boy wearing a red scarf spoke up. "Does any of us actually know how to fix a roof?"
There was silence.
"Er... I know a few folks who did some wo-work...." Thomas started. "I, I'll see if I can contact them."
