— crisp autumn leaves fell gently from the nearby trees with even the slightest breezes. mick stood unbothered by the constant busy-work as he raked up the leaves into big piles, occasionally sparing a glance towards the parts of town-square he had yet to touch. mick was lucky to have found a rake; he didn’t necessarily have the supplies to bag all of the leaves up and take them elsewhere. he had asked an npc a while ago to go and grab a few bags if they knew where any were; the task didn’t seem to be an easy one for the other person. there was still plenty of time to get it done, though.

raking a small pile of leaves into the leaf pile, he straightened, leaning slightly against the rake as a quick break. eyes scanned over the untouched parts of the square once more. this task was going to take a bit longer than he expected.

[align=center][div style="width: 430px; text-align: justify; font-family: verdana; font-size: 6pt; letter-spacing: 1.5px; word-spacing: 0px; line-height: 12px; color: #000"]As autumn finally swept into the district, it came with an abundance of tasks to prepare the group for the imminent winter. Of course, Northstar was fortunate to not have to suffer from the extremes of weather conditions as Bluestem did in the summer or Flintlock did in the winter, but all of the misfortunes in these groups affected Northstar all the same. They had to slowly learn how to become self-sufficient in their own ways — the food that they cultivated, the water that they purified, even down to the maintenance of their beautiful surroundings.

Even the tasks as seemingly menial as raking up leaves could make a big difference to the district. As Green strolled down the street and out into the town square, his gaze swiftly landed on his boyfriend who was busying himself with the task of raking up leaves. Lips twitched, threatening to grow into a peaceful smile, before he wandered over towards Mick. ❝ Is there anything that you can’t do?! ❞ He hummed playfully. Even whilst the act of raking leaves didn’t require much skill at all, Green would still firmly claim that his partner was ever the multidisciplinary genius. ❝ Are there any spare rakes lying around? Let me help. ❞

— “is there anything that you can’t do?!” the playful words made mickey’s lips twitch just the slightest bit, shaking his head subtly to himself. right -  he figured - because raking leaves took a lot of skill. despite the amused sarcasm, he still looked over towards green almost gratefully, a silent “thanks” for the man’s ever-present kindness. having someone be so kind to him was still taking some getting used to, though mickey was more and more thankful for it with each passing day. he then quirked a brow, taking a look around at the trees, humming a short note before remarking nonchalantly, “if there’s one thing i’m good at, it has to be raking leaves.” of course green was an exception to mick’s usually quiet and stoic exterior; sometimes he couldn’t help but be more playful around his partner.

with green offering to help, mick looked around. then, pointing to a nearby tree, he said, “there should be a couple leaning against that tree over there.” he watched and waited for green to grab the rake before continuing to rake up the leaves. green surely had a lot on his plate with the upcoming winter; ensuring everything was in place for the colder months, preparing everything as best as he could with all that they had… he sighed thoughtfully. although it was just busy-work at this point, he still enjoyed the peaceful little moments spent with green.

“what have you been up to today?”
