Solar energy. It was the be all and end all of the promises of tomorrow for the Twin Feathers, and until Psych had come into their tribe it had seemed impossible. Things were different now though, Psych had brought a level of knowledge that no one else within their small tribe had. That was not to say that others in the tribe were not as intelligent as he was, but no one had the practicable science knowledge of that level behind them and without an idea of where to start it was basically as close in hand as someone over the age of 30. Just impossible.

Although Kestral didn't think that she was that helpful in the science behind solar energy, she was helpful in the actual build. She had never fully been into sciences in school, instead she had been the kind of kid that had aced her math courses and her shop classes, the previous of which had gotten her some jabs in the latter.

Today, however, Kestral had decided that she would go over to Psych's and see if he wanted any help. She hoped that she wasn't imposing on him and she also hoped that he didn't think that she was being pushy on the subject. It was her experience that since she and Hawk had taken leadership of the tribe that everyone thought when they saw her that she was checking up on them and there was nothing further from the truth. Kestral was really easy going and generally thought that as long as other's were doing their best than it was fine.

Walking across one of the rope bridges that connected the treehouses, she came to Psych and Echo's and knocked on the frame.

Who: Psych, Ruby, and Echo
When: Sunday Night
Where: Twin Feather's Camp
Why: Julian is asked to fix a leak, Echo hates the storm, so Ruby is picked to help him out.

There was a leak in one of the roofs and he had been asked to go fix it, just because this leak happened to be dripping right onto his fellow Twin Feather's bed. And he everyone knew he had a hard time saying no. And this rain was getting worse, or it felt like it was getting worse, so the leak would just get worse. Julian just stared at the other for sometime, they were covered in water, looking desperate at him. He licked his lips before nodding his head and told the other to come inside, stay at his place while he went to fix the leak. His tools were grabbed when he suddenly felt a little hand grabbing how own.

Echo looked up at her father with those wide-eyes that always reminded him of Katherine. One hand was on his while the other held Bear. She was dressed in her PJs and he had just sang her to sleep. There was a tremble to her lips that made him think at any moment she would just start crying. Carefully he turned so he was her level and brushed back her tangled hair, smiling for her, even though he was not looking forward to the job before him. "Now, sweet pea, I have to go fix a hole so this nice person here can sleep. You just wait here, with Bear, and I will be right back."

Right back and drenching wet, likely going to catch a cold... These thoughts were running through his mind but he did not voice any of them to Echo. Still, she shook her head back and forth, stubbornly at his words, the tears beginning to form. Oh no, not the tears! His mind screamed mentally and he picked her up, swinging her around as he held her tight in his arms.

"Shh, shh.. Don't cry. I'm not going far. The rain is not going to hurt you while I'm gone." He tried to sooth her with both words and hands. His body moving like all desperate parent's bodies do when they are trying to calm down their child. The next phase in tears is always the trantrum that follows, that tantrum can sometimes consist of the child suddenly losing the ability to move their limbs and they become dead weight. Echo sometimes did this.

"Gone, gone, gone.." Was all she was saying, about to throw her tantrum. Julian quickly moved to grab up her blankets and wrap her in them, snug and tight, then picked her up in his arms. It was hard to balance her, his tools, and keep from falling out of the tree, but like mother cats caring their kittens around in their mouth he managed not to fall.

He did manage to get wet. Echo had stopped crying though, instead she was just clinging to him. He ran, as fast as he could while still be careful, till he came to Ruby's door. She would hear a desperate knock on it and would likely open it up to see him soaked to the bone, looking wide-eyed, with a huge moving bundle because Echo couldn't be seen with all the blanket he threw on her. "Uh, hi.. Can you do me a favour and just watch her? I'm sorry to wake you but.. I don't want her trying to follow me out here in this."
