Are
Something about the beautiful woman both made him relax but also awoke a familiar feeling in his gut. A niggling worry he so many times before had ignored in favor of a more optimistic mind, a worry now apparent in the corner of his eyes and in the stiffness of his smile. The implication left hanging had his mind racing at the thought of what she took him for, but at the same time had him almost smack himself at how was reading too much into it.
"Yes... uh, sewing." he sputtered and tried his best to act relaxed, tugging at his shirt feeling like a naked knave before the queen. With eyes flitting back and forth between home and its owner as she pointed out what needed doing, he listened intently and made a mental list of the chores he was sure he wouldn't leave a mess.
"I'll probably wear through what I got in a few days more, so don't promise too much." he said and smiled.
The small armful of tools left much to be desired, but what he had on his belt would do for the more laborious of tasks. He put his bundle on the porch and started examining the thorny bushes and small jagged rocks needed removal. Not one to dawdle, Are tossed his hat and shirt and got to tugging at the largest of the rocks. "Ah, barely manheavy, this'll be gone in the blink of an eye! Where would you want it?" he asked, chipper again.
