002 ~*~ Sprucing things up a little

[not_so_great_wall]

Flandre was right: the houses all look the same and it's rather dull. She's used to living somewhere that stands out from the rest of the world, so it was time to make this place a little more like home!

[ Meiling is just picking up a 'few' supplies for her home landscaping projects. Hoes, spades, buckets, etc. You would think she couldn't carry this all by herself, but she's stronger than she looks. Just... don't be behind her when she turns around or you just might get a face full of a shovel or a rake!

Poke her? Help her shop? Wonder why the shopkeeper is giving her the cold shoulder after noticing the star on her hat,? ]

[ In front of the house, Meiling is busy laying some stone for a new pathway, boxes for flowers, new wooden borders for the bushes, and in general working hard at tearing up the yard. (She already napped at work, hence all the energy!) She's wearing a pair of overalls, heavy gloves, a plaid shirt, and enough dirt to need three showers later.

Bother her? Help out? She'll be at this for a few days. Weekend taggers have the added chance of catching her taking a rest at midday~ ]

If they're just going to be about war and death, no-thank-you. [ She shakes her head, and then gestures off to the side. ] But they can't just be selfish and decide they're the only ones whose lives are important. They can't just go perpetuating that kind of negative reputation!

That's most of my life, unfortunately. When you become a hero, all they want to do is throw you right back at the enemy. Luckily, daemons and their cohorts are one out of about six enemies.

...yeah, how lucky. [ Back home, the population probably wasn't anything near that. Not anymore. It was sad to think about it, so she didn't. Meiling turned, but kept her eyes on him. ] I should get going. I have a lot of work to do.

I'd offer to help but you'd probably say no.

[ She's not prone for wry expressions, but there's one right there. ] You're right. [ Meiling would just as soon not lead someone like him right to her front door, if it's all the same to him. ]

I hope... you have a good rest of the day. [ She bows her head, briefly, and adjusts the items in her hands to take them up to the counter. ] Excuse me. [ Then she turns to go -- it's dangerous to turn her back to him, she knows it, but this is her way of showing that she has no fear of anything he might try. ]
