There may be people stranded in their houses by the buildup of snow. As this was very likely not the end of the snowfall, shorter winters or not, it would be beneficial to all of us to organize a group that can take over clearing the paths through the village and to the doors of houses and apartment buildings. This isn't a task one person should

[This redhead is still taking up your couch. He's feeling a lot better, but thanks to the snow hasn't gone home. He's got his journal open on his lap and is still cuddled under a blanket.]

I can help clear snow if you want.

[surely he used the empty bedroom at some point]

You should probably still be resting.

[but. Having been stuck in bed for over a week not too long ago, she knows it's...trying.]

[wingedreplica]

[He did! But the couch lets him see more. :D]

I'm fine now.

[Bored Luke is bored.]

[offallingsnow]

You could help me clear from the house to the road, then. It should be easier with two people.

[Tossing off the blanket now and grabbing his coat.]

All right. Just tell me what to do. [Since he's never had to clear snow before.]

[Action]

[offallingsnow]

First you have to promise to stop and take a break if you feel tired.

[because everyone should do that while shoveling]

[Action]

[wingedreplica]

Fine, fine. I promise...

[Gives her a thumbs up.]

[Action]

[offallingsnow]

All right then. Put your coat on and bring one of the shovels.

[Action]

[wingedreplica]

Okay. [He makes sure his coat is securely buttoned and that he has his gloves on, before grabbing one of the shovels and opening up the door to head out.

Man, that's a lot of snow.]

[offallingsnow]

[yes, it is. And keep in mind that Nephry had been periodically shoveling this same walk before the storm]

It's best to work slowly.

[Action]

[wingedreplica]

I think we'd kill ourselves if we went too fast, anyways. [He's kind of just staring at the snow right now. Nudge him into working, Nephers.]

[Action]

[offallingsnow]

All the better not to, then.

[starts shoveling, careful not to throw more snow onto the parts they haven't done yet]

[Action]

[wingedreplica]

Good plan. [He laughs, and following her example, he begins shoveling snow out of the way.]

Did you have to do this all the time in Keterburg?

[Action]

[offallingsnow]

The city employs people who do this most of the time. But after big storms, sometimes, or when I find the walkway to my door is starting to look a little dangerous, I'll do it myself.

[against the advisement of her secretary and other underlings]

[Action]

[wingedreplica]

Mm, I figured. You like to take care of things.

[offallingsnow]

It wouldn't do for people to slip and fall on their way to speak with me.
