Jaden made their way down the creaking wooden stairs of the house they shared with Vervain. It wasn't early, early, but it was still morning, they yawned, brushed their curls from their eyes. Of the two of them, Vervain was the early bird. Outside with the rest of the birds, letting them out of their coop, feeding the flock and collecting the eggs. Mmm, eggs. Breakfast.

They would have to make sure to continue to be gentle with the sparkly baa in the future. Now, in their workr...

There was so much to do and there was so little time to do it in. Wasn't that always the way of things? Of course time ticked on no matter what you were doing, sometimes quickly and others slowly. Very slowly. Like watching grass grow, or in this case, wool. Jaden made their way out into the pasture to tend to the combined lallabaa flock, their own and also the ones that Vervain kept.
