1 - Spring Cleaning

[imaginarywife.insanejournal.com]

[After finding a nice guest house with a clear path down to the beach and a nice view, Tsuuma began the job of cleaning it up. It was a bit dusty and the bedding in the bedrooms needed to be washed, but she was surprised that the food in the kitchen seemed fresh and unspoiled. Perhaps this Lady Eureka, whoever she was, really was preparing to keep them for a while.

Not that Tsuuma was all that concerned by it. Her family was here, and that was all that mattered to her. Plus there were some very nice people around. They were different from her old friends back home, but they seemed friendly and it was much better than being alone. Tsuuma, really, was very happy here.

She had set up a clothes line and was hanging some of the linens now, Memusu bringing her a basket with more things that needed to be hung to dry before going back inside.]

[She laughs and wraps her arms around his neck.]

Are you sure? You know I don't mind cooking. Besides, you've been out all day. You must be tired.

Nah, I can handle it. [He places a kiss against her forehead.] Besides, Memusu can help me set the table. You get the night off.

I'm going to end up bored if you don't let me do anything, dear.

[She smiles and reaches up to push his hair out of his eyes.]

Well, I suppose it will give me time to finish hanging the laundry. Hopefully the sheets will all be dry by the time we're ready for bed.

I can live with that.

[He pulled her very close and pressed his lips against her forehead.]

I suppose letting you handle dinner for one night can't hurt. I've already cleaned up the kitchen, so it should be okay to use everything in there.

There was a surprising amount of food already in there. And in spite of how dusty everything else was, it all seemed unspoiled.
