Monday Night at Nell and Gladio's

[mylandmyrules]

Nell did not open Covent Garden Flowers today. Their stock was vastly depleted after the weekend and frankly, Nell simply needed a day to take in everything that had happened this weekend. She had left a note on the door for anyone to call if they had a flower emergency.

So, instead she cleaned the house. Again. Though honestly it didn't take much since she'd cleaned it to within an inch of its life when she knew Iris was coming. Dinner was a spicy beef stew, that had been simmering since the morning, and the rest of the bread she'd baked fresh over the weekend.

She didn't honestly expect any visitors today - she knew it took time to settle back down - but in any case there was plenty of food for anyone who might stop by.

She spent most of the rest of the day on the roof, alternating between puttering in the greenhouse, checking that the hives would be ready for the coming winter, and taking breaks to soak in the hot tub.

Which was most likely where she could be found at twilight.

"I don't know," Nell said thoughtfully. "I've seen some pretty handsome scarecrows."

She had not.

"I'd love to be able to see Eos as well," Nell said. "It sounds like it was a beautiful place and is becoming so again."

"Once we're sure things are all clear and set, then," Gladio said with a nod, "we'll head out there. Maybe go do some camping out near Malmalam or the Vesperpool. Then you'll really get to see what I mean about those bugs!"

He laughed a little at that, shifting to sink down a little more into the water and give her a waggle of his brows. "And I can think of at least one thing I got that you're not gonna get from all those handsome scarecrows..."

"Your bugs scare me," Nell said with a grin, "but the rest sounds wonderful."

She sank further down into the water herself and considered. "You have good hair...?"
