"If you insist." Miles let out a sigh of relief and closed his eyes. I'll manage the shed. As long as I don't tear it up myself then I should be fine.

(Sry it's short, I gtg to class)
Emmeline just nodded, already half asleep.

(Oh no problem)

Miles was relaxing in the grass along with her when he felt a pinch of coldness hit his forehead. What the….? He sat up slowly and eyed the small dirt patch Emmiline tilled up, and realized it was getting dark speckles. Oh… I see how it is… "Emmiline, we have to get inside – it's starting to rain…." He jumped up, staring down at her and waiting for her to get up.

"Hm?" She looked up at him and then glanced at the sky, seeing how dark it was. "I'll be fine, a little rain won't hurt me." She closed her eyes again and let the rain splash on her face.

Miles frowned. "Don't come crying to me when it turns out to be worse…." He headed back inside and sat on his bed, going through the stuff he got from the bandits. This is quite some good stuff….

"I won't come crying, I'm not a little baby," She mumbled, smiling lightly. The rain was decently cold and Emmeline felt it start to soak her clothes and the ground around herself, not caring at all. She opened her eyes again and looked up at the sky, noticing how dark it was becoming.

Miles just sat in bed, waiting for her to come in. Hope she doesn't get pneumonia sitting out there like she wanted…. He sorted out some stuff and put them in corresponding chests. Tomorrow we'll go into town and sell stuff… Maybe get food. And clothes for her so she doesn't have to wear mine….

She sighed when the sky continued to get darker, her clothes and hair completely soaked at this point. She stood up and shook her head, spraying water everywhere before walking into the house. "It's nice out Miles, come see," She said, a small smile on her face.

Miles glanced up and nearly blew his brains out he was holding in such a strong laugh. "You think I'm gonna believe you? I think I'll stay inside, thank you very much."
He reclined and pointed at her soaked clothes. "I'm telling you right now I'm nt getting you a dry set of clothes. You chose to stay outside, you deal with the consequences."

"Ok," She shrugged and flicked a few drops of water at him before stepping back outside. Emmeline smiled and found a patch of mud, jumping in it and letting it splash on her as the rain continued to pour.

Miles shook his head. She's just crazy….. He then picked up some book and began to read some of it. I just need to pass the day along….

Emmeline heard the sound of thunder in the distance and she sighed, jumping in the puddle one more time before walking inside again. She did her best to wring her hair and clothes out before walking to her bed and grabbing the clothes that she was originally wearing. She darted to the bathroom and changed quick, hanging her soaked clothes up and walking back to her bed.

Miles glared at her. "….Why on earth did you just go back outside?" He stood up and went into the kitchen, seeing a nice clear trail of mud all through the house.
Although it wasn't much, Miles was infuriated. "Emmiline!!!!" He barked.

Emmeline jumped slightly walking into the kitchen slowly "Yeah?" She glanced at the floor and immediately knew what she did, but she wanted to see what Miles was going to do.

Miles gave her a death stare, his line of sight peircing her own eyes. “….What the hell is this?” He pointed at the mud trail. “I give you nice hospitality and food and shelter and you repay it by tracking mud all over the floor!!” I’ll give her this childish talk if I have to… if it’ll set her straight. “As long as you keep this kind of stuff up, you’ll find yourself on a route straight back onto the streets. Am I clear!!?”

Her eyes widened and she nodded quickly, focusing on the floor in front of herself instead of him, "What do you want me to clean it up with?" She asked quietly, trying not to think about how much this reminded her of living with her aunt and uncle.

“Anything it takes to get it off my floor and out of my house,” He growled. “And don’t think that I didn’t see you right after you came in…. You’ll be washing those clothes too — my clothes.” Miles folded his arms and planted his feet down. “And one more thing… I’ll be the one dictating whether you’re done or not. So I’ll be watching your every move.” As much as it must stink to do this kind of stuff and that she came off the street, she knows better than to do this.

She nodded again and grabbed a small towel, starting to clean. She avoided looking up so she focused on the floor, shaking ever so slightly but hiding it like an expert.

(I bet she shook, lol)

Miles sat himself in a chair, crossing his legs and his arms still folded. I’m not tryina be mean, I’m tryina make her responsible and suffer consequences…. He watched her scrub the floor, and it didn’t please him the slightest that she was working, however, it did please him that his floor was getting cleaned.

Emmeline continued to clean, finishing most of the kitchen fairly quickly. She looked up for a second and locked eyes with Miles, looking back down immediately.

Miles gave her a strange look. “What’re you looking at me for?” Don’t stop…. But at least the kitchen is done…. but then she needs to clean the bathroom and my clothes off…. He shook his head. Like I said, I’m not trying to be mean…

She just shook her head, finishing the kitchen and going to the bathroom to start cleaning. The floor was worse here, considering that she had stepped around quite a lot.

Miles didn’t bother following Emmiline into the bathroom, since he trusted her that she was doing the work he told her to do. I hope she gets this all done tonight…. then we can probably go into town and eat at a tavern for dinner or something…. just to switch things up a little from the usual soup or venison…. I do have the money, after all…. and the time….

Emmeline sighed when he didn't follow her and she smiled weakly, still cleaning quickly. She started humming to herself as she worked, hoping to make the time go by faster.

Miles' eyelids grew heavy and he suddenly snapped awake. "Wha–?" We didn't even have dinner yet and I'm getting tired?… I mean I did work quite hard today…. I suppose…..
