004 - Accidental Video (mid-afternoon)

May 19, 2011 22:44

[Juliet has a tattered basket at her side, and she sits at the edge of the river, leaning over the bank. There is fabric in her hands, which she dunks up and down in the water repeatedly, then scrubs against itself. It's laundry day in the Capulet household, and she's doing the best she can without much soap.]Only three more to go. When I get ( Read more... )

[He's just barely restraining a chuckle. But he manages, if for no other reason than she's a girl and that demands he be nice to her.]

That's one way to do it.

[She's squeezing water out of her hair as she speaks to the stranger.]

As I have no washboard, I make do. Were I stronger, I would bring enough water back to the house to launder there.

[And she sighs.]

I shall have to be more careful in the future. I am still unused to such things.

Or you could ask someone to do it for you.

[Is that him volunteering? It just might be.]

[Video] capuletnomore May 20 2011, 03:09:39 UTC

[She blinks at him, not quite sure she's understood him properly. It would be rude to presume something of a stranger.]

In our household, I am the only one suited to such a task. Tybalt cannot wash clothing, and Bubbles is only a child.

[She offers a kind, if bedraggled smile and bob of her head.]

I am Juliet.

And in mine we all do our own. Next time, call me, okay? I'll carry the water for you. Can't have you falling in the river every time you need something washed.

[He smiles softly.]

Pretty name. Riku.

[Video] capuletnomore May 20 2011, 03:16:43 UTC

You are quite kind, sir, to make such an offer to a stranger. You shall put my cousin to shame with your generosity.

[She lowers her eyes at the compliment. Romeo certainly thought it pretty.]

It is a pleasure to meet you, Riku.

[Video] reflectivedawn May 20 2011, 03:20:56 UTC

It's the least I can do. It's important that we all help each other here.

You too, Juliet. Have you been here long?

[Video] capuletnomore May 20 2011, 03:24:21 UTC

You are quite correct in that. This place is inhospitable enough on its own. Goodwill among neighbors is necessary.

[She squeezes more water from her hair.]

Not long. I have been here little more than a month. And you?

[Video] reflectivedawn May 20 2011, 03:26:39 UTC

It helps makes this place easier anyway.

Four months, give or take a couple of days.

[Video] capuletnomore May 20 2011, 03:30:51 UTC

Would that everyone thought that way.

Tell me, does it become easier to tolerate this place over time?

[Video] reflectivedawn May 20 2011, 03:32:31 UTC

That's... a hard question.

For some people I think it does. And for other's it just gets harder. Having friends from your world helps, and making friends here helps even more.

[Video] capuletnomore May 20 2011, 10:00:34 UTC

[She nods. It makes sense to her.]

Then it is fortunate my favorite cousin is here with me, and that I have made many friends thus far. I hope it has been the same for you.

[Video] reflectivedawn May 20 2011, 10:02:42 UTC

It is now.

[He hadn't been alone long, but the fact that he had been was hard.]

The friends I made here are the ones who have helped the most though.

[Video] capuletnomore May 21 2011, 23:21:15 UTC

It has been the same for me, since the friends I've made here have had the experience of being here longer. But I am most glad that Tybalt is here. I had feared I would not see him again.
