[Drabble] Rain
The pouring rain is good for the drought, but the garden is starting to look bedraggled - it matches the knight toiling beside the house, unblocking the rain gutters.
"Will you come in now?" I ask when he has dislodged the last of the leaves and a plastic toy that found its way into the mess.
He casts about for a moment before he finds nothing else to occupy his hands and finally comes to stand beside me on the porch, dripping.
"Satisfied?"
He grins, looking a great deal more like a knight than he has in ages. "Actually, yes."
