2nd Order - [Written / Action]

[wouldntbetonit]

If there is anyone who knows what kind of plants do well here in spring, I'd welcome any recommendations.

- Lt. Bush

[Action]

[If one happened to notice, William Bush - a man who took such pride in his rank - wasn't wearing his uniform today. One could hardly expect him to wear the same thing every day when he had access to fresh water at the turn of a knob and more clothes than he could shake a stick at. To be perfectly frank, this was the wealthiest he'd ever found himself and he had absolutely no money to show for it.

Not that he was complaining about that. Restlessness, yes. There was only so much a man could occupy himself with before he went stir-crazy and started looking for plots of earth to make a garden in.

Yes. William Bush was going to plant a garden.

Which was why he was headed to the center of town at this very moment for seeds and implements with which to dig and such. If anyone remembered him from his earlier post then he'd be in some serious hot water.]

[She was considering ways she might try to get his attention, maybe initiate a chat without being terribly over-rude and throw things back. But when the shovel drops...

Well, she bursts out laughing. And with that, she's just going to cross the distance over to him, still laughing]

Need a hand?

[wouldntbetonit]

[Bush flusters easily around the spunky type of woman and already the simple fact that she crosses the space between them laughing sets him off, so when Melaka crosses the space between them he just goes grumbly and polite.]

Beg yer pardon, miss.

[He even brings his hand up to tip his hat in reflex.]

[makeitquick]

That a yes or no?

[still smiling in a way which is probably somewhat teasing, but. She reigned in the laughing at least]

[wouldntbetonit]

I can manage it myself.

[He says it quickly and scoops up the shovel he was inspecting before gingerly putting it back where it belongs, like he's afraid of this 'land-shovel' and it's tipping over abilities.]

[makeitquick]

No doubts here.

[This voice. Clearly shows there might be (jokingly)]
