[54] - [action] & [audio]

Oct 22, 2010 10:30

[Jacketed and scarfed, Buffy is hard at work on the lawn of House Seven. She has in her hands a most fierce and gruesome weapon--long and pronged, wickedly effective for roping in and dealing with rogue...leaves. Yes, today Buffy is devoting her time to raking the leaves on the lawn (a task she takes even into the early but dark evening). And while ( Read more... )

totally needing a time out, !audio, !action, buffy the pirate slayer, buffy's relationships are cursed, domestic bliss is not to be found here

[Buffy isn't the only one for whom things are clearly not okay, but as always, Emil is trying to mask it. So when he wanders past House 7 on yet another mindless circuit of the village, he'll try to put on a poker face before wandering over to see what she's doing.

... yeah, he kind of fails at poker faces.]

[That's okay, Emil. So does she.

Upon seeing him, she pauses in her ministrations.] H-hey!

[Action] ratatosk_knight October 22 2010, 15:53:30 UTC

H-hi Buffy... what are you doing?

[As if it weren't already obvious.]

[Action] slaying October 22 2010, 15:55:13 UTC

Cleaning up the yard. It...it totally needs it.

[A small shrug.] How are you?

[Action] ratatosk_knight October 22 2010, 16:01:22 UTC

Oh, I'm fine...

[He leans down to pick up a leaf and just sort of absentmindedly twirl it in his fingers.]

That's a good idea. Maybe I should clean mine up too before it gets too bad, though I'm not sure it'll really make much of a difference given how many trees are around my house. Won't more leaves just fall into the yard anyway?

[Action] slaying October 22 2010, 16:02:52 UTC

[We can all pretend to be fine together.]

You just...keep raking, till they're all down and dealt with. Annoying, but it's gotta be done. Like a lot of things.

[Action] ratatosk_knight October 22 2010, 16:08:54 UTC

... right.

[A pause.]

Do you want some help with that?

[Action] slaying October 22 2010, 16:30:23 UTC

Have you ever raked before, Emil?

[Action] ratatosk_knight October 22 2010, 16:35:24 UTC

A few times... it's not that hard, is it?

[Action] slaying October 22 2010, 16:38:31 UTC

It's not supposed to be. But I don't think Lady Luck is on my side.

[Action] ratatosk_knight October 22 2010, 16:47:52 UTC

Then I'll help you. That way we'll be able to get it done even faster so you don't have to worry about it, right?

[Action] slaying October 22 2010, 17:00:21 UTC

Exactly. Many hands make light work?

[Action] ratatosk_knight October 22 2010, 17:02:05 UTC

... huh?

[Sorry Buffy, that one went right over his head.]

[Action] slaying October 22 2010, 17:05:31 UTC

Just...one person doing one thing can take a while, right? So more than one person doing one thing can make it go by fast. Ergo, many hands make light work.

[Action] ratatosk_knight October 22 2010, 17:12:11 UTC

Oh, I get it. Yeah, that's what I meant, I just didn't know there was a saying for it.

[... and it's right about now that they will be interrupted by a small furry guided missile because YOU LEFT MEEEE AND I AM HUNGRYYYYY

Otherwise known as Sial. Hello pretty lady, do you have anything for me to eat?]

[Action] slaying October 22 2010, 17:15:52 UTC

Oh, who's a cutie! [She bends down, glad for the slight additional distraction.]
