003 Falling Leaves

[Phone and Action (Albright Lane) Open to all]

[Cain is outside his house, raking the red and golden leaves that have fallen into a large pile, he has pulled the phone out of the door with him as far as the cable will stretch, holding rake in one hand and balancing the phone awkwardly in the other as he works.]

Falling leaves are so strange, it's sad in a way because it's like the trees are dying. But they're not really, they're just going into hibernation for the winter. And the leaves fill other purposes too; they make a mulch that feeds the ground when there's not much else there, they give materials for animals to make warm places to stay in the cold, and...

[There's a pause, as a grin breaks out over his face and he drops the rake on the lawn.]

...they're perfect for jumping in! YAHOOOOO!

[And suddenly there's scattered leaves all over the lawn again, as Cain rolls over laughing. This place and the situation may not be the ideal, but he was an optimist by nature and he had never had the chance to roll in leaves before, he's damned if he'll waste the opportunity now.]

I hope some of you will come to join me, or tell me about other fun things to do in this season! What are your favourite ways to pass the time? Now that I have the opportunity, I'd love to try them all out.

[Esther is laughing at this derpiness.] You're never going to clear the lawn that way.

Don't worry about that. [She hadn't expected for anyone to actually take care of it anyways.]

It's fine.

[Brb looking for a rake!] Any time. We should all work hard together, right?

Mhmm. [Her smile wanes a little.] My Lady Mother and I always worked on projects like these together when I was little.

Oh... sure. [She's caught off guard by the question.] My Lady Mother took me in when she was a teenager herself. You would never know it since she was always so wise and kind. She made everything look effortless and always saw the best in people.
