ᴏɴᴇ ʟɪғᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴏɴᴇ ᴅʀᴇᴀᴍ ᴏɴ ʀᴇᴘᴇᴀᴛ

ᴡʜᴏ: Arya and you.
ᴡʜᴀᴛ: A day in the life.
ᴡʜᴇɴ: Today.
ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ: Options A-E open to all. Just let me know where we're at.


[ A // ɢᴀʀᴅᴇɴs ]
[ A couple of hours after daybreak finds Arya still in the gardens. While Nymeria naps close by, she attempts to weave flowers into a crown. The end result is laughable. Growling in frustration, she rips it apart. Around her lie the bruised and wilting victims of previous attempts. ]


[ B // ᴍᴜsɪᴄ ʀᴏᴏᴍ ]
[ From the open door of the music room comes the sound of drumming. There is no rhythm nor any sense of a song. A laugh sometimes accompanies it. Inside the room, Arya beats on a drum in front of Nymeria. The direwolf seems more interested in the drumsticks Arya has in her hands than the actual instrument. Occasionally, she lunges at the sticks and Arya laughs and moves back. Nymeria yelps. ]


[ C // ʀᴏᴏғ ]
[ Arya lies on her stomach, head and shoulders jutting out over the edge. She kicks her feet idly back and forth as she holds her arm straight out. Her hand opens and something falls. She counts under her breath before stopping with a frown. ]

I need something bigger. Nymeria, the stick.

[ Nymeria ignores Arya; the direwolf continues gnawing happily on her drumstick. ]


[ D // ᴘɪᴇ sʜᴏᴘ ]
[ Having mopped the floor, wiped down the tables and counter and rearranged the chairs—twice—Arya finally accepts she is done with her work. She had not thought she would enjoy it so. Work was a welcome reprieve. When she had something to do, she had less time to think. In Paradisa, there was nothing but time to think. She had even begun to miss her lessons.

With the store empty for the moment, Arya steals a day-old pie from the kitchen. She sits at a table against the windows to eat. Fork to her lips, she entertains herself watching the people walking by.
]


[ E // ɢʀᴏᴜɴᴅs ]
[ Lying on the grass near the duck pond, the child is unobtrusive and quiet for once. The direwolf usually with her is nowhere to be seen yet they are not separated. Arya almost seems to be sleeping if not for the slit of grey marking open eyes. Try not to step on her. ]


[ F // ᴅᴀᴇɴᴇʀʏs ]
Daenerys!

[ Pushing everything out of mind, Arya smiles as she calls out. Behind her, Nymeria drags a deer carcass across the ground. ]

Viserion! Drogon! Rhaegal! Look what we've brought you!
not_mafia: (guesstimating)

Gardens!

[Tsuna's passing by when he spots Nymeria, and then Arya a short distance away. Hands tucked in his pockets, he comes over.]

Hey, Arya. [He looks around at the torn up flowers.] ... what are you doing?
bow_of_the_galadhrim: (Admiration)

Gardens!

[The elf couldn't sleep, not here and he rarely slept at all anyway. So he'd taken to walking along outside and eventually to the gardens. He would have simply passed Arya by, letting her work on weaving the flowers together in peace but her heard her growl in frustration and stopped.

Feet making no sound, he turned back and approached her, giving her a small smile.]


Would you like some help?
not_mafia: (this is the life i lead)

[personal profile] not_mafia 2012-10-25 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Looking at the flowers torn up on the ground.]

Are you making a crown?
not_mafia: (guesstimating)

[personal profile] not_mafia 2012-10-25 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[He kneels down next to her.]

Maybe I could help.
not_mafia: (summer breeze)

[personal profile] not_mafia 2012-10-25 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[He sits down.]

My mom used to make them for us when I was younger. I think I might remember how.
not_mafia: (uncertainty)

[personal profile] not_mafia 2012-10-25 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[He takes some of the flowers that Arya had been working with-- the ones that weren't torn up, anyway-- and begins to weave them. At first,tThe movements are hesitant and faltering as he tries to remember, but after a bit, he seems to get the method down.]
bow_of_the_galadhrim: (Happiness)

[personal profile] bow_of_the_galadhrim 2012-10-25 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I apologize. I am too used to traveling silently, it seems. I shall make an effort to make noise when next I approach.

[He took a seat near her, picked up pieces that littered the ground, those that could still be used, and slowly starting to weave them together. Occasionally, he'd take a glance at Arya and then go back to weaving.]

How long have you been trying to make these?
likebreathing: (Default)

music room! /o/

[personal profile] likebreathing 2012-10-25 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rictor's never been big on music, at least, not the making of it. He doesn't mind listening to it, though he's not sure the banging coming from a couple hundred feet away can be classified as music.

Still, he's curious, so he crosses the distance so he can lean against the doorframe.]


Having fun there, kid?
bow_of_the_galadhrim: (Amusement)

[personal profile] bow_of_the_galadhrim 2012-10-25 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
It takes a bit of practice.

[Legolas had plenty of practice. Since his father wore similar crowns, he had made quite a few of his own as an elfling to be more like the Elvenking. His hands move evenly, braiding pieces together and carefully adding to any spaces that seem to sparce until finally:]

There. A lovely crown of flowers for a lovely young lady. May I?

[At the question, he shows that he wants to place it on her head himself.]
not_mafia: (it's OK)

[personal profile] not_mafia 2012-10-25 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[After some time, Tsuna finishes.]

Here you go.

[He offers her the finished crown.]
not_mafia: (white)

[personal profile] not_mafia 2012-10-25 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
You watched me a bit, didn't you? I bet you could make one now.
not_mafia: (safe and sound)

[personal profile] not_mafia 2012-10-25 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[He'll take a few more, too, and start on a second one.]
not_mafia: (harmony)

[personal profile] not_mafia 2012-10-25 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, might as well. [He's actually doing it in case Arya wants to peek over at him if she's having trouble, shhh.]
