You seem like a fine young man

Dorian saw the sudden gleam in Vinanye's eyes, and smiled. "I thought so. I'm glad. Stop by one of our meetings sometime and meet the members. I'm sure you'll get along great."

Dorian picked up a folder filled with paperwork on the table, stuffed the photos inside, and tucked it under his arm. He wrapped an arm around Vin's shoulders and led him out of the room, turning off the lights and locking the door. Back to the car it is.

"Alright, you've seen our office. Shelter next." He huffed, then drove off. "What are your opinions so far?"

Dorian nodded, a smile on his face. When he got out of the car, he tossed his keys in the air, and caught it before they opened the door. "That's great! I think my club members share the same sentiments. You'll fit right in."

There was a girl at the counter. He recognized her. Rita, a Botany major at the school that liked to help people. "Oh — Oh, Mr. Crawford! Oh dear. If you were coming in, we would've prepared. And... with Vin? Hello, Vin!"

Dorian slid to the counter with a smile. "Hey, Rita. How are things?"

She smiled. "Good, sir. Everyone appreciates the new mattresses, but there's been a leak on the roof. Funds for repairs aren't coming in until next month."

Oh. Dorian looked at Vin, an eyebrow raised. "You up for fixing a leaky roof?"

Alright. Hard to beat that enthusiasm. Rita handed them the belt a bit reluctantly, then led them to the third floor. She pulled out the ladder and set it up in the Hallway, opening up a small door to the roof.

"Be careful! Roof's slanted. It's near the edge..."

He shrugged. "It'll be fine." Dorian saluted her, took off his shoes and jacket, and went through the door. He sat at the middle to help Vin out.

Dorian followed him to the edge. He peaked at the edge, and, goodness, that was a long way down. He frowned and handed him the belt. No wonder Rita wanted to call someone. That was not a fall normal people could survive, no.

"It's that hole, right? There's a sealant in one of the pockets. It might be best to mix it with an adhesive."
