@FluidReign over, dumping it into the small-like canal, "There we go.." While doing this he would glimpse over at Ea every now and then, trying not to keep his focus on him alone.

@FluidReign "I-" Ori figured this might happen, which is why he wanted to hurry in the first place, "They go over there.." With a soft grumble, he pointed over towards the other gates, "I'm almost done with my load but don't worry I won't rush this time.." Slowly he dragged the bucket+

@FluidReign stuffed in, he would carefully take out just enough to spread across the pens. Once the bags of food were done, he moved on over to the buckets of food for the pigs and boars. This took him alot longer, those buckets weren't very light to carry after all, "Gotta hurry for Ea.."

@FluidReign It didn't take Orian too long to run over to his post, though the old man thought otherwise as he was already up and ready waiting for him at the pens, "Took ya long enough!" Apologizing, Ori hurried over and grabbed the bags of food, taking one at a time. With his hand+

@FluidReign the barn, "I wanna eat and wash up too so let's work hard!" For a minute or so, Ori held onto the others hand before letting go. "When you're done with the lawn come find me in the back!" With that said, the smaller male rushed off to his own tasks.

@FluidReign "R-Right..Right!" Patting both of his cheeks, Orian snapped himself out of his shy trance and back into morning mode, "First you can mow the lawn and I'll take care of the animals, okay?" Grinning from ear to ear, he quickly grabbed Ea's right hand and dragged him out of+

@FluidReign As intimate as hugging and cuddling were, they were ones he grew used to during their old times together but small things like this with his finger being nipped its all still new to him. With a small cough, "are you r-ready..?"

@FluidReign "You don't have t--.." before he could finish his sentence, Ori's face slowly turned to a dark red from Ea nipping at his fingertip. "O-Okay..you can help..it'll go faster if we work together..." His furred ears twitched and shake, "If we hurry.. we can finish before noon.."+

@FluidReign Releasing one of Ea's cheeks, he began listing down his chores, each finger lifting as he spoke, "Feed the animals, grab the eggs, pick the berries, mow the yard..." His voice echoing the barn.

@FluidReign Ori chuckled under his breath, "I'm glad.." Yawning once again with a giant grin on his face, "I slept pretty good too..heh" His thumb gently massaged against Ea's cheek and down his chin, "I gotta go do some chores before the old man comes out and yells at me.." +

@FluidReign Sitting up with his arms stretched out and letting out a big yawn passed his sharp teeth. As much as he would love to stay with Ea cuddled up against him, he still had his chores to do around the farm. Looking over at Ea, he gently grabbed at his of his cheeks, "Ea.."

@FluidReign Staying close together they slept throughout the rest of the night until the bright rays of the sun began to leak through. Feeling the warmth of the sun ray on his face, Orian softly grumbled under his breath, "Morning...ngh.. already?" +

@FluidReign and curling around Ea just as close as he did before even his soft purrs echoed throughout the barn.

@FluidReign thought he would only remember in his memories. "Well I don't know if I'm going to grow any taller but I think I got far enough to at least almost reach your face.." a humorous smile crept his face Though not long after, he let himself succumb to slumber, rolling himself+

"I.." thinking for a moment, he then nodded his head, "If it'll help you rest, then okay." Glancing up, he walked over to his spot in the barn and waited, "Even though your body's cold, I know I'll sleep nice and warm like before." He chuckled under his breath.

Not expecting Ea's request, he turned his head towards his direction rather surprised, "Really..?" Though realizing how honest his reaction was, his cheeks quickly turned a red hue, "I mean...I'm not tiny anymore...won't you be uncomfortable.?"

While walking, Ori's eyes focused on Ea and his expression. 'it would be nice to see you smile again..' was what he wanted to tell himself in his head but instead his voice echoed it out of his mouth instead. Though without realization of that he continued inside the barn.

"Stop.. I'm not trying to guilt trip you, I was afraid.." Giving a sigh, he walked forward and grabbed Ea's hand in his, "I'm sorry." Holding his hand gently, "it's getting late like you said, let's head into the barn before it get colder."

Reliving the night they met again hurt because of these words, words that held more meaning than he wanted, "I'm not happy at all..I wouldn't have said that if it meant that you were going to ignore me and stay silent!" Covering his face, "I don't want you to disappear again"
