∞ 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.]

[Caesar would rather not think about that, either, man.]

Ah, if you must, if you must. [Not that the type of conversation they have ever matters to him, obviously. He shakes his head at the question.] Can't say that I have, though. It seems like a lot of those guys have been pretty quiet lately. The ones from home, I mean. Uh, except for the griffin, but I suppose that can't be helped.

It's been generally quiet. [A slight tilt of his head towards Caesar.] But Nash was, as far as I know, assisting the villagers with dealing with the threats.

Maybe it's just because Lilly's gone. [There is no disappointment in that sentence.] Huh. That's right, he was, wasn't he? I can't figure out whether his intentions were genuine or if he was just trying to kill time. [...but that's always his problem with Nash.]

Miss Pendragon's absence has certainly left a void. [And there is no disappointment there, either.] Nash's intentions are only as troublesome as the results are. There has been little change in the ways that the threats have been dealt with.

Isn't that a surprise! They seemed pretty persistent about it, too. Not that I know much about what they were trying to do, exactly. They "weren't allowed to tell me." [Which annoyed him, even if he wasn't interested in what they were doing.]
