Spring cleaning.

Mar 05, 2008 17:53

It's a little early for spring cleaning, but Sarah has lugged all the throw rugs out of the house and has them hanging on her clothesline. It's a crisp, clear afternoon, but signs of life are appearing in the garden ( Read more... )

Now that the weather's improving, construction work will be back into action soon, but today the ground is still just a little too hard and there's no work to be done. Unwilling to wear out his welcome, Rat wasn't exactly intending to visit today, but he is taking a day down by the beach to keep his connections open and check up on the guys he's worked with on the docks. The sight of Sarah abusing the hell out of a rug gives him pause, and she may notice him watching with a raised eyebrow from across the street.

*THWACK* *THWACK* *THWACK* Sarah doesn't notice Rat at first. She seems intent on beating every last molecule of dust out of the rug. She looks rather mad about it, too.

But eventually she needs to take a break. She pauses, wiping sweat from her brow and still looking rather pissed off. Only then does she see Markus. Her expression changes to chagrined, briefly, before she smiles and waves with the rugbeater.

That wave isn't nearly as inviting when she's just been wielding that thing like a weapon, but he strolls over and leans on the fence with his usual friendly smile. "Uhh, hey. Spring cleaning? It's a nice day for it." He shifts his guitar a little to get more comfortable. It's poking him in the back since he's so tall he has to bend nearly double to lean on the fence...

Sarah's smile is friendly, but it's a little forced, like she has something unpleasant on her mind. She doesn't look as though she's planning to hit him with the rugbeater, at least. "Hi, Markus." She pats at her brow again, smearing a little dust on her forehead. At least she has a kerchief to keep her hair back. "The weather was nice, so I thought... yes, it's a good day for it." She looks a little embarrassed. "What brings you by Shell Beach?"
