[It's a good thing the older one continued, because he was about to interject to say he can handle this. But...he makes a point. He supppose. Eventhough he rather just learn the one most efficient way and be done.
The gravel is disturbed as he gets up. He'll walk back over to his lane then to start setting the steel rail down on his side. He picks up one of the nails, examining it. Just hammer it down like the humans do, right...? Although he still wishes he knew what the other was lisening to. He sets the pointed end of the nail over a marking. It doesn't sit still. How can he hit it in one go when he has to keep holding it steady?]
... [Or maybe he doesn't need to. Thumb on top of the nail, he carefully pushes it through the steel. Similar to what the other was doing, but not going all the way through, just far enough to keep the nail from moving. Once it can remain still on it's own, he'll hit the nail down in one go.
...
Except it gets bent on the way down. Huh. Was the angle coming down with the hammer wrong? It's an easy fix for him to pull the nail back out and try again at least. Same as before, ensuring the nail is in straight, standing on it's own and hit it again with the hammer. It goes down and locks in without issue this time. All right, just put to memory how he hit that nail down. He moves onto the next nail, and then another. It's not quick as the other, but it gets the job done.]
