RE: Laying it on Thick
Having done her story and thinking it over as a matter of size, Shiloh took over the rest, apparently. Not that he said so in any way, but she kind of didn't expect him to. He was visibly thinking it over, and at some point, padded towards the base of the newly built citadel. Perhaps to measure sizes, though she wasn't sure. She'd always imagined that he knew sizes by heart, but then, maybe not.

So she had no choice but to follow him around, wondering what he'd make of this. An underground den would be warmer, perhaps, but with all the tunnels already there she wasn't sure about the space he could make. Perhaps if they merged some older dens together, though she wasn't sure if that would not collapse half the tunnel system. The first floor of the Citadel seemed to have enough space, but then, that might be too cold especially in winter. Or... "Perhaps you could make some of the walls thicker..." she mumbled, frowning. It was after all a tough situation to solve.

RE: Laying it on Thick
Shiloh was off in his own architectural realm, concerned with form and structure and beauty. Aamu's comment, however, made him tilt his head, and he asked her, "What?" in confusion. He could think of nothing offpaw that would be improved by thicker walls, other than having a smaller room. "D'you want it smaller?"

RE: Laying it on Thick
Oops, she might not have explaine where that came from. "I was thinking such a large space might collapse some tunnel if it were underground. But if the walls of one room in the citadel were thicker, coated with some earth, they'd be warm enough, almost as if it were underground." she reasoned. "If not I can keep some fire going, probably." That was a new thought though. Would they need some kind of smoke outlet if she built a fire? That was getting even more complicated.

RE: Laying it on Thick
He blinked. A space underground could be fortified, perhaps with a column in the center, or just stone if it were made long. He had figured out how to neutralize those dangers long ago - heck, his Pa had figured it out before he had. He frowned, though, for her words still confused him. "Underground I can make it not collapse. Not a problem. But putting more stone here won't do anything. Stone is stone. The air won't come through it, and whatever else can wouldn't care if there was more."

The thought of a fire made sense, but his experiences as a pup made him want to find another route. He debated some more. Then, an idea came to him, and he looked back towards the doorway that stood open. "Maybe, a gate? Like on the wall, but fit? To keep the warmth in?"

RE: Laying it on Thick
Clearly not a builder herself, that wasn't even something she had thought about. A place for a fire was still useful, though, as Shy also implied. So she nodded. "Ah, yes, I hadn't even thought of that! But we do have to have something to keep the place from smothering in the hot smoke though. Some kind of outlet for the smoke to go up?" After all fire was something she knew about, not earth and building things.

RE: Laying it on Thick
Shiloh's ears tilted back. He hadn't meant to imply being okay with a fire, nor modifying his finished piece to let out smoke. Still, if it was what she wanted, he supposed he could work something out. The fire couldn't be in front of the entrance, so that ruled out putting a hole in the door. Yet, putting a hole anywhere would defeat the purpose. "Gonna have to be a hole for that," he said. "All the warmth'll go out of the hole. Wouldn't the door be enough?"

More and more, this was beginning to look like a lost cause. He lifted a hind leg to furiously scratch a sudden itch, a new pile of soft sand joining that which had already collected on the stone floor.

RE: Laying it on Thick
Aamu frowned. "No, that would fill all the tunnels with smoke before it got out. It wouldn't be in the den all right, but it would be everywhere else because it drifts upwards throught the tunnels to the tunnel entrance." she shook her head. No possibilities there. "That's why I was thinking a small smoke tunnel in the ceiling. But you're right, we'd probably lose some of the warmth through that. I guess I could just stick to warming the room with magic if it's needed, though I may be too busy or tired to do so at some days, which is why I wanted a fire in the first place." Well if it all turned out to be impossible, since it was probably never done before, then they'd just stick with the old ways of keeping pups warm, bringing in dry leaves from the fall to make them a bed and she'd have to stay with them all the time anyway.

Shiloh blinked. Then, he blinked harder. Then he shook his head, imagining that the water that had mixed into his ears would surely fall out and turn Aamu's words into perfectly comprehensible sentences. This failed. His ears remained as dry as ever. Completely at a loss of where they were or what she was talking about, he asked in confusion, "What tunnels?" Warming was all well and fine, but there was three feet of stone and solid metal beams at least between the ground they were standing on and the nearest tunnel.

RE: Laying it on Thick
Mouth open, she copied almost all his behaviour. Blinked. Blinked again. Shut her mouth, shook her head in denial, sat down promptly. "I thought you didn't want to make a sky-den because it would be too cold. Hence, I was talking about the Divum tunnels."

She grinned now, seeing the misunderstanding. "Sorry to be so confusing. Smoke still does have a habit of drifting upwards to the winds though, and I couldn't have a den all the way up. Can't really walk all the stairs in this condition, and I doubt any of the pups could fly first week. That means any smoke coming from a fire even in a sky-den that is on a lower floor like this one, would drift all over the stairway. That just won't do." She shook her head. "So I was thinking maybe some kind of smoke tunnel, right above the fire, to take it away without suffocating everybody." That, after all, would work either in the Citadel or the tunnels.

RE: Laying it on Thick
Shiloh blinked again, and then reached out and tapped the sandy stone floor with a paw. "This is the sky-den." He wasn't sure why this needed clarification, but apparently it did, so he gave it. Her argument did rule out the Citadel, though. Making a smoke-tunnel in her undergroun den would be much easier. Perhaps if he wound and twisted it it would ensnare the warmth while still letting out the smoke. It didn't seem as though it would be too picky.

He turned around and walked out of the Citadel in his slow, meandering fashion, since that was obviously ruled out. However, a question came to him, and so he asked it of her, assuming that she would again follow. "How come you can't go up the steps?
