Settling into the settlement was something he had found to be a struggle, but it was time to truly start establishing his place among the people. One of the best ways to do such a thing was to give back to the community of which he was becoming part. For former royalty, Arthur was remarkably handy, likely something to do with his past squire duties, but nevertheless, he decided that he was going to put those hard-earned skills to good use. The damage to the domiciles could have certainly been worse, but things needed to be repaired, regardless. Besides, while he was doing it, he realized that it was a good chance to figure out what kind of thing he wanted to design for the coming festival. When he had been king - and even before then - participating in festivals and activities to bring the community together was one of his absolute favorite things to do. Of course before taking the crown, his observation of festivals was much more common than any actual participation. Still! It was a lot of fun! Part of planning the festival was making sure the place in which it would occur was in top condition. Whether that meant bringing it back to the way it was before or making it even better was still up for debate. There wasn’t a ton of time before the festival, but hey, putting on some pressure often spurred people to action. He bent down and took hold of two slabs of wood that had been thrown - or more likely torn - from a nearby building. Arthur lifted them onto his shoulder and set them in a pile over on the side of the street. He started collecting a bunch of the wood and other debris that littered the area, bringing it to the side in two neat piles, one for materials that could be salvaged and one for materials that were going to have to be discarded somehow. Perhaps a bonfire? He smiled to himself at the thought. |
