Alex smiled back. The man behind the counter looked up. "How can I help you gentlemen today?" he asked.

"Yes," Gabe said, nodding. "My cousin and I just got our new land, and we need lumber. And work, if there's any to be had."

"Ah, I see."

"Mm." Gabe wasn't quite sure how to take that, but he chose to be optomistic.

"Well, I've got some lumber, and the message board by the door has got all the job postings nearby."

"Thank you kindly, sir," Gabe said, ducking his head some in respect. "How much does the lumber run for?"

"Mm, depends on how much you mean." The man replied, moving out from behind the counter.

"Let's say a runner full for now," Gabe said, humming some. He didn't have a runner, but he had his arms.

"Alright. Would that be completely finished lumber, or just a rough finish?" The man asked.

"Just a rough finish, sir," Gabe confirmed.

"Alright. Well, that'll be…lessee here. Full runner of rough finish…" The man's fingers twitched faintly as he did the man. "30 dollars, 35 if you need help loading."

Gabe nodded slowly. They had about twenty dollars in total, and they still needed to buy food and tools.
"Thank you, sir, we'll be taking you up on that soon enough."

"Yeah, no problem. Let me know if you need anything else." The man replied.

"I will, sir." Gabe moved away then, to see the job listings.

Alex followed Gabe quietly.

Gabe hummed, lightly bumping his shoulder against Alex.
"How you doing?"

Alex shrugged a little. "Mm, good. You?"

"Better. And I'm glad you are." Gabe smiled some, looking to the board for jobs he could do.

Alex nodded, looking at the board and reading the different jobs listed.

There weren't many. Mostly just ranch hand positions.
"Mm…"

Alex glanced over at him.

Gabe let out a soft breath.
"Here, this one looks like it pays the most, and doesn't require prior experience."

Alex looked up. "Oh, really? Are you going to apply for it?"

"Mhm," Gabe confirmed. "We need as much money as we can get."

Alex nodded a little. "I'm still looking around."
