∞ 84: Solace from time's passage [action/written]

[Today Albert is in the sitting room of his house, leafing through a few books idly. The weather is disappointingly rainy for summer, but it's a pleasant change from the heat earlier in the week.

Eventually, he will fall asleep on the couch. It was just supposed to be a nap -- half an hour at most. But that half an hour turns into a whole hour. And then two. (This may even repeat in his bedroom later on.)

Sometime later in the evening, he will write in his journal.]

Accomplishments could be said to be life's milestones. Some are far apart, and others are so close together that they may very well overlap. Some may be considered mundane, and others utterly unique to your circumstances.

If you are willing, I would like to hear of a mundane accomplishment. Something that others could relate to. I will share one of my own: I graduated from school as a teenager.

[... Given that dinner was nowhere near her mind, she honestly doesn't have a clue. Her expression falters to something rather blank as she considers.] W-ell, I could try perfecting on my rice-stuffed lemon dish...

[Rice-stuffed le--] ...Didn't you try to make that before? [Didn't you have him eat it?]

... It was well over a year ago.

It wasn't a very pleasant experience at the time.

... That's why it was a work in progress. If I could find out where things went wrong, then surely it would be better?

[He's feeling awfully considerate today, so...]

Perhaps.

... Then you'll try it again?

[...That look.]

We shall see.

... So ... when would you like dinner?

If you are going to be experimenting, you might as well begin cooking now. [In case they need to get more ingredients ... or an alternate meal.]

... All right. You're not planning to nap again, are you?

[...And what if he was?] I'm not tired.

Good. Then you can accompany me.

...You need me to accompany you?

[...] It's not a need. I just thought - well, if you'd rather not, then I'm not forcing you.

I suppose I have nothing else to do... [He pauses.] Actually, I will bring something to work on. And you can ... experiment.

All right, that sounds fair. [She glances at some of her projects.] I should probably put some of these away as well. [She frowns faintly at the paintings. She's never quite sure what to do with those, and now there's an abundance of them.]

[He looks amused as he watches Raine look over her various projects.] I believe you went a little overboard today.

Haha. It feels like I haven't really stopped all day.

[somewhat jokingly] Just don't wear yourself out.

I expect that I'll be getting some well-deserved rest later. Hopefully not with a project still in my hands.

[Her tone is wry as well, and she gestures to some folded clothes on a chair.] I also took care of some of your mending, whenever you want to bring that to your room.
