∞ 82: Waiting for the next step [action]

[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.]

I think I've earned a nice, long break. [Caesar walks over to the stairs leading up to the house and drops off his bag. When he returns, he sits down in the grass near where Albert's working.]

[asdhflkja what. Not funny, bro.]

My sincerest apologies, brother. I meant to tell you sooner, but I was a little preoccupied. [You know. With being kidnapped. There was also the missing Flame Champion deal, but he didn't want Albert to know the other reason he was here.] Besides, I'm certain there's someone more suitable for a job like that.

Shut up. Is this about the sheets? I can bring them out here, if you like.

I wouldn't be so sure if I were you, my dear brother. I was thinking I could lay in the grass, but that might be more comfortable.

Is that so? [He smirks and then... falls back to lay in the grass.] Well. Maybe some other time, then.

[It's not laziness this time. It's the whole, "He'd actually be more annoyed than appreciative." thing. Caesar knows how you are, Albert. He'll lay there quietly for a moment with his eyes closed, twirling the flower between his fingers before he sits up suddenly.]

Hey. Do you need anything? You know, to drink or something.

[If he's going to make himself comfortable on his brother's grass and steal his brother's food, he should probably offer him some, too, after all.]

I know, I know, and no fires.

[He stands up, then, tucking the flower into the pocket of his jacket and heading into the house. BRB trying not to make a mess of your kitchen, Albert.]

[At least it's nothing too weird this time. Caesar decides not to cause any trouble, heading straight to the kitchen to get a glass of water. He gets some water for himself, too, but he drinks it in the kitchen so he doesn't have to take the glass outside with him (you know, in case he does fall asleep in the grass). He returns to the yard a moment later, holding the glass out to Albert.]

Here.

[And this counts as Caesar's good deed for the day. Week. Whatever.]

[Caesar shakes his head.] Let's not jump to conclusions now. [He goes to reclaim his spot in the grass.] Though, I am surprised you let me inside the house without supervision. That's unusual.

Ah, I thought so, too. [And... laying down again, shutting his eyes.] But if you're not around, there's no point in causing trouble. Uh... Well, sometimes.

Didn't I already tell you? Don't jump to conclusions! [He smirks as he speaks.] My favorite part is when you don't know how to react.

[...which causes Caesar to sit right up because ow ow ow ow pain.]

H-hey! That was unnecessary, you jerk. Oww.

A generous offer! Thanks, but no thanks. [He leans over, grabbing his foot. Owww. He mumbles-] Who's not acting their age again?
