Summer 3 - action on the farm

[forever_jack]

Jack is not and has never been a farmer. But he does know the value of vigorous physical activity in helping to deal with psychological pain, and so this morning brings him over to the farm to help out with the potato harvest.

For Einar

He shows up perhaps a little later than some of the others (he's not naturally a particularly early riser, especially when he's on holiday!) and ambles up the path towards the farm buildings, looking out for the farmer.

Open

He's worked hard and by the time the bus comes round again on its way back to the village, he's ready to hitch a ride with some of the others rather than walk. They haven't talked all that much while they were working, and there are several he hasn't spoken to at all, so he grins round at the person settling into the seat across the way. "Feels like a good day's work, eh!"

Comments

"Yeah?" He grins widely and lifts an eyebrow. "See them often do you?"

Apparently, teasing Rica's characters people who look like Aidan is something he just can't resist. Although, there is a more serious question in there, because he can't help but be curious about their mysterious benefactors.

"Do they ever actually drop in here, to Norrhamn?"

[norrhamn_residents]

Hey! He doesn't seem too fazed by the teasing, just laughs another warm, rumbling laugh. Okay, you got him! He's not really a key member of staff here, but then again the same could be said about almost all of them.

"They did, before you all came in. In th' planning stage, I'd say, to look over the place and fix it up proper. Not sure if they'll come by again now that it's up and runnin'. Sure they got other things on their mind."

[forever_jack]

He nods. "Seems to be the usual way of things. I expect they've got some other exciting project they're busy setting up now, somewhere else!"

He gives Einar a wink. "Suits me, to honest. I never have had much time for the folks in management. Prefer to interact with the people who actually do the work, you know?"

[norrhamn_residents]

"Ain't that th' truth!"

He laughs again, or perhaps just continuously. It's a thing with him, laughing. Life seems wasted if you don't.

"Well Jack, it's been real nice talkin' to you but I best be off tendin' to the cows before they go sour on me. See you at the party?"

[forever_jack]

He likes the laugh. Actually, he likes Einar in general. Definitely someone he could stand to spend more time around while he's here.

"Absolutely. Can't keep me away from a party!" he assures Einar with a wink, waving him off to his cows. "Go. Don't want to keep those ladies waiting!"
