∞ 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 see. I suppose so. [He dusts some of the dry petals off of his shirt.]

[She moves to delicately continue working her way through the poppies.]

We can only do our best, anyway. How long have we been out here? I haven't been paying attention.

[He snorts, perhaps amused by the question.] I'm afraid I'm not carrying a watch on me at the moment.

Mm. I suppose it doesn't matter too much. It's the afternoon, in any case.

Indeed. And several hours until dinner.

In that time we would have made a lot of progress out here.

[He raises a brow, but doesn't look at Raine.] If we are out here the entire time.

[She's not looking at him either, focusing on the garden.] I suppose we'll just have to see.

Indeed.

[Raine falls silent then, focusing on the flowers and weeds in front of her. It's calming and constructive. It's no wonder that the plants on the other side of the yard have been seeming so well lately.]
