Open Post (but Galwyn and Lucan would be appreciated).

Work is good, and there's always something to be done on a farm, but it's good to rest sometimes, too--which is why Percy is stretched out in the sun, warm all over like a toasted tangerine. His bare toes are buried in the warm, crumbly dirt, and he's pulled off his t-shirt, too, because eeee sun, after such a long winter, and the feel of it on his

Ganymede is wandering about, trying to see how far this strange place stretches. When he comes across Percy, he watches him, amused, for a moment (perhaps a long moment) before speaking.

"Look you well contented, sir."

[fingersofleaf]

Percy rolls over, opens his eyes. "Hi! I am."

[dukes_daughter]

"I am Ganymede," he says. He offers a hand, then draws it back, sits down beside Percy, and offers it again.

[fingersofleaf]

He shakes, laughing. "I'm Percy. Nice ta meet you."

Cimorene is returning from the Mansion, having gathered up her few things into a bundle. She's also discovered that she can get new clothes from the plothole, and is now dressed in breetches, a loose shirt and boots, her braids pinned up around her head.

She sees him and smiles, maybe enjoying seeing him before he sees her, just a tad. But she comes up and very unceremoniously flops next to him. "Comfy?"

[fingersofleaf]

He bobs up, laughing, his feet coming out of the dirt. "--Hi! You surprised me!"

[dragon_dealer]

"If you were enjoying a minute to yourself, I can go ahead. But I wanted to say hi." She grins at him. "You looked very...at ease."

[fingersofleaf]

"Oh, no, don't go." He's still laughing, rather. "I love sleepin' in the sun. It's bad, I should be workin'... but I like it so much."

"Heeeeeeeey," Heli says, and drops down to curl up on her brother, her head on his chest. "Nearly Easter."

[fingersofleaf]

He beams and cuddles close to her. "I know! I can't wait."

[keepyourlamps]

"And then Pentecost!" (Whee, snuggling!)

[fingersofleaf]

Snuggling is the best ever, and it's especially good if you've missed your sister all winter long. "I know, I know! But I can't wait for Easter, I don't mind Pentecost."

Contrary to appearances, Galwyn and associated typists and pups are still around, so here comes a Galwyn wandering up and flopping to the ground beside Percy. He's been in his forge and is smeared and streaked with sawdust and soot, and the other detritus of construction and smithing. He grins at Percy and pulls off his own shirt, using it to try and clean his face a bit. "Hullo, Percy."

[fingersofleaf]

"Hullo! I ain't seen you in an age." Percy sits up and beams at him. "You busy?"

[star_in_night]

"Hello--" Elaine stops beside him, a cooling shadow.

[fingersofleaf]

Percy opens his eyes and looks at her upside down. "--Hi! How are you?"

[star_in_night]

"I'm fine. I was just coming for the laundry." She stoops to pick up his shirt, smiling at him sideways.

[fingersofleaf]

"Hey!" and he gets up quickly, with a fresh laugh. "I might need that!" Fondly teasing.
