∞ 82: Waiting for the next step [action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Now that things have calmed down around the village and the rain from earlier in the week has dried, Albert is getting around to cleaning up his poor garden. Long-wilted white and blue moonflowers and morning glories litter his garden where trellises are propped up next to them, so he's pruning and plucking them out from between the growing flowers.

His horse is hanging around the house today, eating from a bale of hay.

It's a pretty idle scene on a sunny day. At least he's not closed up in his room, reading old books and drinking wine. That can be saved for tomorrow, when the weather's even warmer.]

[He takes note of his visitor, nodding slightly.] Indeed. I suppose I should be relieved they haven't burned away.

[She makes a face at that because oh, flaming tree logs, we did not like you.] No kidding! I never heard about any really big fires...I think we got lucky there. Lots of people protected the village.

[It was more a nuisance than anything else.] One of the positive points of the village's population.

One of the best.

Did you pick all the flowers you grow?

I did. [He takes a look at the flowers.] I tried to focus on plants that will reseed themselves. [So he doesn't have to look for seeds and bulbs every year.]
