Miles headed into the kitchen, getting his stove ready to make some eggs. I hope she’s not picky when she’s like this… that can be a whole other issue….. When the time was right, he put them in the pan and they began to sizzle nicely.
She stood up again and walked to the kitchen, her eyes half closed. She sat down loudly on a chair and watched Miles cook.
Miles flinched when she sat down, and he whipped his head to stare at her. “Geez…. what’s wrong with you??” He asked, slightly rude. I can understand somewhat that yesterday was a bit rocky…. but this??? I don’t know why. I think she went to bed early….. He finished the eggs and served them up, handing her a plate. “I guess we’re holding off on the garden as long as you’re this tired,” Miles chuckled, but his smile faded. Yeah…. sure thing….
She took the plate and started eating, "I can work on the garden. I need something to do anyway." She said, her voice almost emotionless sounding.
“No,” Miles said flatly. “If you’re hungry, you eat. If you’re thirsty, you drink. If you’re tired, you take a nap, and that’s exactly what you’re gonna end up doing as long as you’re like that.” Why is she tired anyways????
Emmeline opened her eyes wider and put on a fake smile, "Better?" She said through her teeth, dropping the act as she continued to eat.
He shook his head. “Do you really wanna masqueraid through the day like that?” I won’t allow breaks unless I say so… Miles finished eating and set the plate in the bucket. “I mean…. remember what I said. And this kind of thing needs to be done as soon as possible….”
"I'm just going to go start." She finished eating and stood up, putting her plate in the bucket and stretching again. "Where do you want the garden?" She asked, walking out of the kitchen in a little better mood than before.
“Probably just out in the back over here,” He waved in the area opposite from the front door. “…I don’t like people watching me work…..” Miles grabbed the braces and nails from the counter where Emmiline put them the day before and headed out to the very back where he had plotted some land earlier that week. It was even lined with sticks. He set the fixings down on the ground. So…. I wonder how this is gonna go down….
She grabbed the shovel from where she saw Miles get it from before walking over to where he said to put it. She looked at the ground and got to work, drowning out the rest of the world.
Miles worked all day, going back and forth from where he stored the wood to build the shed, wearing himself out in no time flat. It was when he was putting up the barn door when he just collapsed from pure exhaustion. He was sweating from head to toe, and he was wondering if he took himself too literally. I suppose a break would be nice…. I know I can’t do it all in one day, but I may as well get the bulk out of the way…. He was laying there, panting with his throat dry and sore. I don’t think heading back inside is a bad idea….
Emmeline had taken a break a while ago and she sighed, leaning on the shovel for support. The garden was almost done, besides a few touch ups here and there and maybe a small fence around it to keep the animals out. She shook her head and started to work again, determined to finish the garden before taking another break.
Miles still lied in the grass, breathing hard. Damn… I feel so out of it right now… Even after a full night of sleep I feel like garbage… It was nice to just sit there and do nothing, but it nagged him that he should get the shed done before another werewolf cycle hit him and he was forced to sleep outside again. I'll take my time…. I have two or three days anyway….
"Ok, I'm done for now." She said, tossing the shovel to the side and looking at the garden. It definitely wasn't the best, but she had done a decent job.
Miles barely glanced over. "Looks great," He said, exasperated. "I always…. Wanted a garden." With the help of his axe, he finally got to his feet. "I'll make it better tomorrow…"
"Cool, now it's time for a nap," She shook her arms out and sat down, looking up at the sky.
Miles got near enough to be in a conversational distance and fell to the ground in a heap, laying in the grass. "I could skip dinner and go to bed right now if I felt like it," He said, straightforward. I could sleep all day after work like that….
"Same, that was tough," Emmeline laid back on her back and closed her eyes, covering them with her arm. She thought about just sleeping there, the grass was comfy enough and she didn't mind being a little cold at night.
"So…." Miles squirmed about a little to warm himself up before putting hid arms under his head. "How do you like building that garden?"
She chuckled and shook her head "I never want to do it again. I'll stick to the easy stuff, like cooking and taking care of the garden, but not building it."
"If you insist." Miles let out a sigh of relief and closed his eyes. I'll manage the shed. As long as I don't tear it up myself then I should be fine.
(Sry it's short, I gtg to class)
Emmeline just nodded, already half asleep.
(Oh no problem)
Miles was relaxing in the grass along with her when he felt a pinch of coldness hit his forehead. What the….? He sat up slowly and eyed the small dirt patch Emmiline tilled up, and realized it was getting dark speckles. Oh… I see how it is… "Emmiline, we have to get inside – it's starting to rain…." He jumped up, staring down at her and waiting for her to get up.
"Hm?" She looked up at him and then glanced at the sky, seeing how dark it was. "I'll be fine, a little rain won't hurt me." She closed her eyes again and let the rain splash on her face.
Miles frowned. "Don't come crying to me when it turns out to be worse…." He headed back inside and sat on his bed, going through the stuff he got from the bandits. This is quite some good stuff….
"I won't come crying, I'm not a little baby," She mumbled, smiling lightly. The rain was decently cold and Emmeline felt it start to soak her clothes and the ground around herself, not caring at all. She opened her eyes again and looked up at the sky, noticing how dark it was becoming.
Miles just sat in bed, waiting for her to come in. Hope she doesn't get pneumonia sitting out there like she wanted…. He sorted out some stuff and put them in corresponding chests. Tomorrow we'll go into town and sell stuff… Maybe get food. And clothes for her so she doesn't have to wear mine….
She sighed when the sky continued to get darker, her clothes and hair completely soaked at this point. She stood up and shook her head, spraying water everywhere before walking into the house. "It's nice out Miles, come see," She said, a small smile on her face.
Miles glanced up and nearly blew his brains out he was holding in such a strong laugh. "You think I'm gonna believe you? I think I'll stay inside, thank you very much."
He reclined and pointed at her soaked clothes. "I'm telling you right now I'm nt getting you a dry set of clothes. You chose to stay outside, you deal with the consequences."
"Ok," She shrugged and flicked a few drops of water at him before stepping back outside. Emmeline smiled and found a patch of mud, jumping in it and letting it splash on her as the rain continued to pour.
