Vervain knew that this Fiat Lux was important - for morale, more than anything. And damn but if the Hollowed Grounds didn't need some morale around about now. In the wake of Ronin's death, the Spire and the growing unrest between Outlanders and Naturals, perhaps it was a thought to build bridges that led to her wanting to make something for the festival. Something to show that they could all be united under one purpose. That there didn't have to be an us or a them. vervain I am always on your side |

Emmett Scarecrow I think I love you, will you ever understand, It's not as if I've fallen for this but I'm doing what I can Firewood was still a must pretty often in Flowerbirth, when colder days could still rise. Emmett had both the children with him, no one to look after them, as he walked into the woods with his axe. They trailed behind him, dancing between trees and pointing at birds or squirrels they spotted. Truthfully their chipperness was irritating him but he said nothing, knowing it was good for them to be happy for a while. Finally seeing a good tree, he got them to sit far away then started to hack at the branches - he got two down before his eye was caught by something moving through the trees before him. He knew there was a cabin there, but not who it belonged to...thought it made no sense, a shock of anxiety ran through him. Emmett laid his axe down and indicated for the kids to follow from a distance, stepping through the trees slowly and quietly. When he saw Vervain by herself, working on...something, he relaxed. Still, she'd probably seen him by now and he had been raised with manners, so he couldn't just go. Taking a few steps forward, he smiled and waved. Chris and Milly ran out from behind him seeing this and walked right up to Vervain, looking at the decoration in her hands. "What's that you're workin' on?" Asked Emmett, setting down his wood.

Emmett Scarecrow I think I love you, will you ever understand, It's not as if I've fallen for this but I'm doing what I can Both the children gave suitably impressed 'oohs' at the mobile as Vervain spun it, Milly reaching out to touch one of the shining panels (grabbed it with all the awkward lack of grace that three year olds had, but did not pull or tug at it, just looked at her face in the dull reflection). Emmett looked at the axe in his hands as she offered to take the children for a while and let him work...but the new protective flair in him, the thing that had been missing when he hadn't saved them, it wouldn't let him leave the children with a stranger. "Well uh...I won' take too mucha your firewood, maybe just enough for tonight if that's okay?" He walked forward, rested the axe by the bottom of a tree with the blade turned inwards towards the wood, then sat on the ground by Vervain and the children. "I'm Emmett. This is Milly, and Christopher." "Chris." His brother insisted. "...Alright, this is Chris."

Emmett Scarecrow I think I love you, will you ever understand, It's not as if I've fallen for this but I'm doing what I can "Vai...hey, don' you own the tavern?" Emmett asked, sure he'd heard her name somewhere before. Now that he thought about it, he'd seen her too, during his hazy time in Longnight where he had been somewhere between alive and dead, faces and places blurry around him. "I guess I should thank ya for lettin' me stay durin' Longnight." Milly took the mobile eagerly (perhaps a little too eagerly. Emmett kept an eye on her to make sure she wouldn't pull the whole thing apart) and began to turn it, looking at it from all different angles. "I...didn' even realise Fiat Lux was comin' up." He said, his voice distracted and sad. Everything had been so much lately he barely even knew what day it was. "We usually make a loada food for it and take it down...Probly won' this year, though. Um...it's alright. You go and there's decorations and lights and food and dancin'...sometimes people pick a partner to dance with."

Emmett Scarecrow I think I love you, will you ever understand, It's not as if I've fallen for this but I'm doing what I can Chris and Milly gladly took to making the string mobiles, though their little hands fumbled with the knots and took longer than Vervain had. Emmett was proud to see Milly helping her little brother with it, leaning over to show him how to correctly do the knots. Perhaps after they had lost so many they understood now that they had to stick together. He had little idea who Edrei was, (vague memories of some loud shouting and innuendo but that seemed to be a hobby of most of the staff at the Rathskeller) but smiled at the wink anyway as if he did, too tired to get into questions. Of course, Vervain just had to ask the one thing to set his heart pounding. Trying to keep his voice calm and his explanation neutral enough to not upset the children, he spoke flatly. "Uh, our farm got hit during Longnight. It was bad. It's just...me and these two, now." Perhaps Vervain wouldn't know how many had been in his family, but the sadness in his speech and body would communicate the huge amounts of grief in him.

Emmett Scarecrow I think I love you, will you ever understand, It's not as if I've fallen for this but I'm doing what I can "Uh...yeah it's just...jus' me and the kids..." Emmett rubbed his mouth, hoped that Vervain wouldn't be able to hear the hitch in his voice as he breathed over a sob that desperately wanted to escape. He knew it sounded bad, that it was clear he had no idea what he was doing and was in no position to do it. On one hand he would love for someone to lift the responsibility from him, to make it no longer his job to make the big decisions...on the other, he looked to his siblings and felt something strong and protective grasp at his heart, something that wouldn't let anyone but him choose for them. "...We're doin' okay." He stated, despite all evidence to the contrary.

Emmett Scarecrow I think I love you, will you ever understand, It's not as if I've fallen for this but I'm doing what I can Emmett watched blankly as his siblings made the decorations. It was good they were happy and somewhere in his heart there was a little gladness for that, but he found that lately if he did not make an active effort to think, his mind easily became empty, completely devoid of emotion and thought. It was nice, almost. Safe. The question caught him off-guard and embarrassingly brought the choke of tears to his throat, obvious in the way he sucked in a quick breath. "Uh--I, uh, it's...I'm fine. I gotta be, still got the farm and the kids, right? I...I gotta be." It sounded as if he was trying to convince himself as well as her.

Emmett Scarecrow I think I love you, will you ever understand, It's not as if I've fallen for this but I'm doing what I can "Yeah, me 'n' Maea did some plantin' together the other day..." Emmett smiled just a little, glad to think of his friend and not himself. She was strong, he knew that. She always seemed so calm, but if there was anything going on inside her similar to the pain and anguish in his own chest...she had to be made of steel. The kids grinned at the praise of their decorations, held them up for Emmett to carry (because of course, he was always the pack mule) and he took them, holding them up so they didn't get tangled. "Those're nice, guys. And yeah, please..it'll take a job off my back. Y'sure you don' need it? I don' wanna be stealing wood from someone in more need." | ||||||
