It wasn't often that Chris and Lennox spent the day working on different projects, but every once in awhile, Chris would assign Lennox something different from the rest of the crew. Even though he'd probably never admit it, Lennox liked when it happened. It made him feel like he was trusted more than anyone else on the crew to do a good job and that maybe, finally, he'd found that thing he was good at besides curling and selling drugs.
Still, working on his own tired him out and by the time he was coming back down the path toward the Hamlet with Hal at his side, he was ready to take a quick dip in the small waterfall and then go to bed. The dog yipped softly as they neared the newly finished and expanded hut, then trotted off ahead, nosing her way inside. More often than not, they left the door open so that she could get in and out, but only if they were nearby.
"Chris?" Lennox called as he approached, assuming he was at home already. "I got that repair on the fence finished."
The rest of what he wanted to say was left unsaid for the moment. Lennox figured the Hamlet didn't need to hear, 'Hey, we should go get naked and swim for awhile before coming back to bed if you know what I'm saying'.
