"Yeah, well, I don't think she slept at all last night. She was in Momma and Daddy's room with Charlotte crying all night." Digby said quietly, glancing down when Tessa settled in his arms. |

Harlow grimaced. "Right." he said, going to head up the stairs while Lowell struggled to get the door unlocked. |

"She'll be okay though. Dad always said she was the toughest one next to you." Digby assured as he paused, watching Lowell struggle with the lock. "You need help, bub?" |

"No, I got it." Lowell sighed, putting down a bag so he could properly free up his hand before finally getting the lock and pushed the door open, picking the bag back up and heading inside, Harlow following behind him. |

Digby followed after, careful of Tessa's noggin as they headed through the door. He frowned as they entered. The pictures on the website had looked so much better.
"It's kind of a dump..." He said quietly. |

"Son of a bitch." Lowell muttered under his breath, shoulders tight with stress as he put down the bags. "I'll get started cleaning enough for us to be able to crash for the night. I guess we can all just crash on the floor in the living room." |

"Yeah...Harlow, can you lay out a sleeping bag for sissy? She can rest up, I'll help clean, Lolo." Digby nodded. |

"Yeah, yeah, m'on it." Harlow murmured, going to unpack a sleeping bag and a blanket and pillow for Tessa.
Lowell rubbed at his face and grabbed one of the bags that had house supplies, like cleaning things and went to start working. |

As soon as the sleeping bag was rolled out, Digby crouched down to get Tessa carefully tucked in. He covered her up nice and proper, considering how drafty the apartment felt, and then stood up, glancing over to Harlow.
"You should lay down, too." He signed to his brother. |

Harlow shook his head, raising up his hands. "Not tired. I wanna help." He responded, signing. He WAS tired but he did want to help, he wanted to be useful. |

"Don't lie, you were dozing off in the car. Sleep. It's okay." Digby nodded firmly as he signed, wanting Harlow to be easy on himself, after all, they had plenty of hard work ahead of them all so there was no need to make it harder on him. |

Harlow sighed and eyed him for a moment before giving in and went to go get himself a spot set up like Tessa.
Lowell started cleaning up the immediate area around them, jaw clenching on and off. |

While Harlow got himself set up, Digby quietly made his way over to Lowell, reaching out to grab at his twin's shoulder and offering a light squeeze.
"Hey...it's gonna be okay, bub." He said quietly, as to not gain Harlow's attention. "You can rest too, you know?" |

Harlow moved to lay down, reaching to turn off his earring aid for the night.
Lowell glanced up and nodded a little. "Yeah, I know. I just..." he looked around the room, lips pursing. |

"Yeah...I know...I know, but listen, this is only temporary anyway, right? We're going to get our job done and then...before you know it, we'll be back home with Char." Digby assured, squeezing his twin's shoulder again. "Let's just clean up a little bit, then we'll crash too." |
