❝ get better — open . ❞

[EDMUND.]

Even though Freddie had lost the bet, he didn’t have to be an asshole towards Eddie for Eddie to feel mildly vexed by his sheer existence. It was either that or the fact that Ed just knew that Fred was itching to give Ed grief. It seemed like one of the few things he was good for other than dealing with people for Ed or trying to woo a woman into his bed.

Eddie watched, less than impressed, when Fred walked in, greeting the dogs one by one before trying to pick poor Copter up. At least the dog seemed to enjoy the extra fuss, tail wagging wildly and trying to lick at his face. ❝ I’m going to steal this one from you someday. ❞ Fred’s comment earned a huff from Tommy before Tommy looked over.

❝ Y’can barely take care of yourself, mate, let alone a dog. I’ll tell you what; gimme a hand and maybe you can borrow ‘im from time to time. ❞ Tommy uttered, Ed pausing to glance up at his brother before continuing to work in silence. At least Tom was fond of Freddie; Ed wasn’t sure what had possessed him, but- ❝ Hm. Yeah, yeah. You need to fill up those hay nets there for ‘em. ❞ Tommy pointed out, nodding towards nets which lay beside a stack of hay. Filling one of those things was a lot harder than it looked.

Josephine had wandered into the barn too just as Freddie asked to help, the younger woman also offering to lend a hand. ❝ Yeah- good, good. ❞ Tommy hummed, squinting as he glanced around before gesturing towards the box of grooming supplies. ❝ Groom the horses for me, yeah? Quicker it’s done, the quicker we can all go back in for a drink, huh? ❞ Tom nudged Eddie shoulder, Ed raising his brows briefly in thought. That didn’t sound like a half-bad suggestion actually.
