It's been a long day.

A long week, actually.

(Gaeta won't even talk about what the past month's been like.)

Not having something to occupy his hands and mind -- a report, a stack of notes, even just a pen and paper -- feels awkward enough that Gaeta's taken to folding a small fleet of paper airplanes at his table. Being made out of napkins, all of them are too wobbly to fly, but that's not exactly the point; the point is to stay alert, stay awake, and do anything but sit around doing nothing.

...Even if it's much more likely that any alertness Gaeta currently possesses comes more from the three empty mugs rimmed with coffee stains, not the slowly massing collection of floppy aircraft.

"And how long ago was that?"

Its not his fault that all the mortals she knows seem to be trying to destroy themselves, he's just the closest one.

"Then perhaps you should have something more with your coffee."

She kisses his cheek and pulls out a fresh loaf of bread,

"What are you making?"

"Then do you have some clothing that you would not mind getting dirty?"

"I can keep you busy if you don't mind a bit of gardening and mud."

"Of course."

A twitch is the start of a smile and she will get a laugh out of him somehow.

She beams at him and takes his hand to lead him through the Front Door into her garden. Everything that can bloom is and the air is heavy in these last days of Summer,

"Good, some weeding will you good and then some pruning and we'll have a good solid dinner later and put some meat on your bones."

Demeter and Kore's garden is huge since they've had centuries to tend it and stretches off in the distance,

"Fine is not good enough, you should be eating wonderfully. Now I need you to pick all of the tomatoes that are ripe and put them into that basket. We'll eat them later."

The tomato patch should be manageable if he takes his time as Demeter moves to start picking peppers and squash, the squash especially are trying to take over. So every once in a while, she scolds one of the plants and it goes back to its place.

She hears the chuckle though isn't sure of the reason and smiles at him before tossing a lovely green pepper his way,

"Eat that."

"Also you are allowed to sneak a few tomatoes, there's more than enough and part of the fun of picking is you get to eat along the way. Tell me what your favorite fruit or vegetable is."

"We'll go to the orchard next. I think we still have some and you can try a few types too. This is a wonderful place to grow blood oranges."
