Leaxa nodded and wnt ahead and left the house. When Tobyn went outside, together they walked to inspect the fence. His sense of pride thrived, though he was worried that he would like what he had done.

Leaxa felt as though he did a decent job, though he wasn't completely sure. There were lots of vulnerable points on the fence by the time he had gotten there for the first time. He hoped that it didn't look like he had rushed it...

"If I messed up, um.. I'm willing to help fix it," he nervously said. He was confident about everything else except this- and the amount of food he had been feeding the cattle.

On first sight, Tobyn was suprised by how sturdy it looked, let alone the fact it was still standing. He was fairly rough with it, grabbing the wood and rattling it to test if it would hold. Though it creaked, no matter how Tobyn pushed, it wasn't going to come apart unless he broke it or dismantled it all together. By the end, he looked genuinely impressed, grinning at Leaxa. "Stars, Galileo, this must have taken you ages," he exclaimed, crouching down to examine it further. "especially in this weather. It's not the method I would have used, but that's a sturdy fence if I've ever seen one!"

Leaxa had tensed up as he watched Tobyn go out of his way to rattle the fence. He didn't think of doing that before, but at least the fence made it through the test in one standing piece. He let out a sigh of relief when Tobyn finally faced him- and with a pleased look at that!

"Oh, I'm really glad to hear that you appreciate the fence," he sheepishly smiled. "I didn't really know what you would've liked... I can try to redo it in your preferred method, if you would like that." Leaxa had all of eternity to learn how to properly repair a fence, so he was unafraid of redoing the fence.

"No, no," Tobyn shook his head. "This is perfect, honestly. It'll hold well, and knowing that I won't have to sit out alone in the rain to fix it myself after the whole trapped situation.." he cleared his throat and stood back up quickly, as if physically stepping away from the idea. "seriously, it means the world. What about the cattle?"

"I'm glad that you like it then," he crossed his arms across his chest and shivered. "I tried to take care of the cattle, though I didn't know how much to feed them. I hope that I didn't overfeed them," he nervously laughed. "I did brush them though.. I'm not really sure if that's something you do when you're not like- showing them off or something, especially while it's raining, but I wanted to do something else for you. So, uh, brushing the cattle it was!"

Tobyn reached up to rub Leaxa's arms, hoping to warm him despite the rain. "Come on, it'll be warmer in the barn," he said, taking his hand. "I have to say, brushing them is... A bit of a fruitless effort, but I'm certain the cattle appreciate it. Detangles their hair, it makes things a bit less uncomfortable for them in the rain, y'know?"

"Ah, sorry.. I was trying to do things that I thought you would appreciate, but at least I have the cattle's satisfaction?" He nodded but felt a little bit bad. There was likely a lot that he could've done if he had just... looked around and given it some thought. But nonetheless, at least he had gained a little bit of appreciation from the cattle. Together they went off to the barn; Leaxa slightly swung their hands back and forth as they walked.

"I appreciate the thought and the effort," Tobyn responded fondly. "there's a lot of them to brush, just to make me happy." Pretty much as soon as they came into the sight of the cattle they were all over Tobyn, Stew being the first in line to get a good inspection in. There were a couple of odd ones out giving him the cold shoulder for not visiting, but he knew that the cows would forgive him quickly. "Alright, alright," Tobyn chuckled, pushing his way through the herd and patting their heads as they went past. Stew had moved on to Leaxa, almost as if he was thanking him for bringing Tobyn home. Or perhaps he just expected another heaping of food from him. Who knew?

Leaxa smiled very widely as the bull nudged him from his inspection. He laughed quietly as he found amusement in his actions. He reached out and gave him a gentle pat on the back of his head. He loved how friendly Tobyn's cattle was and he loved to interact with them. He was very appreciative that he could visit them! "Aw, I just love your cattle! Especially Stew.. He's my favorite," his happiness reflected in the tone of his voice.

"I'm pretty sure you're rapidly becoming his favourite, too," Tobyn responded with a smile. He was glad to hear how he got along with the cattle, it was a big selling point for his affection. Feeling the familiar discomfort he'd felt as a consequence of death's touch coming on again, Tobyn took a quick step away from Leaxa, eaching out and hugging the nearest cow to conceal the moment. Once it had passed and he was sure he wouldn't worry Leaxa he pulled away from her soft fur, turning to examine the trough. "W-wow, you really weren't going to let them go hungry, were you?" He joked, before straightening up. "it's no trouble, though. I'd rather a fat herd than a starved one anyday, and they'll be alright."
