The Gig: Thursday [1-20-11]

It was warmer than it had been on Tuesday, but Helen still was missing the warmth of Monday. Which might be why she was curled up under a blanket on a hay bale reading after all the chores were done.

"Hello, The Gig!" a very not-warm James called out as he approached.

"In here," Helen called.

"Helen!" he exclaimed, catching sight of her, stamping his boots to dump the snow off them. "I'll be glad when it's warm," he said, making a silent prayer to Ruthia, goddess of luck, that it would not be far off.

"I as well," she said fervently.

"Many weeks away, though," he lamented.

"True. Still, nothing we can do about that," she said with a sigh. "Except stay warm however we must.."

"It is easier here than home, to be sure. Less fireplaces but more heat."

Re: Thursday [1-20-11]

She nodded. "I can imagine."

"And warm boots! I can live with warm boots," he said with a wicked grin.

Re: Thursday [1-20-11]

She laughed. "Yes, boots are good too."

"Much better than cloth wrapped around," he said with a wink.

Re: Thursday [1-20-11]

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

"Definitely."

"I could get used to wearing footwear," he said, "if it's like this."

Re: Thursday [1-20-11]

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

She raised an eyebrow at him. "People in your world don't wear anything on their feet?"

Re: Thursday [1-20-11]

[squire-hand.livejournal.com]

"Oh, they do, they do. If they can afford shoes, or ways of finding them."

James hadn't found his way much into shoes until he became a squire a few short years ago.

Helen nodded, understanding what he wasn't saying. "I see."

"My childhood was interesting," he said, understating much.

Re: Thursday [1-20-11]

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

"I can only imagine," she said. Hers had been... interesting as well.

"And it made us what we are today," he said, filling his glass and holding it up to toast.

Re: Thursday [1-20-11]

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

"It did," she agreed and raised her glass to toast him back. "To us."

Re: Thursday [1-20-11]

[squire-hand.livejournal.com]

He moved his forward to clink against hers. "We make such a great pair."

Re: Thursday [1-20-11]

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

She smiled up at him. "Who would have thought?"

Re: Thursday [1-20-11]

[squire-hand.livejournal.com]

He chuckled. "Not many, I wager."

Re: Thursday [1-20-11]

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

She smiled at him. "Well, I'm glad we worked out."

Re: Thursday [1-20-11]

[squire-hand.livejournal.com]

"I as well," he said with a twinkle in his eyes.
