It was a trying time while this group settled, Dane thought to himself. He was sitting aside for once, watching the others work while he rested for a moment. From the second they had settled, Frederick had thrown down what he thought was necessary for survival. Frankly, to Dane, it was too much. Did people really need walls and roof over their heads? A bedroll did just fine, at least until winter came. But when Dane had brought up this point, that maybe homes weren't as useful as, say, crops in the first few days, Frederick gave him a glare. Then that Wrenne woman started going on about how roofs protect from rain, and mudslides. Dane just quietly let the matter go. He was pleased that Frederick did take his thoughts into mind though, and the womenfolk were clearing and planting the land while the men built. |
