Until You Put Me Down

Ulric smiled his signature lopsided smile when Aranea confirmed that the spot was perfect. He couldn’t really tell how genuine she was being or if she was agreeing just to agree, not that he really minded either way. As long as she didn’t have any major complaints or objections then that was good enough for him. He nodded in agreement as she laid out a plan for clearing away the snow and ice first before they each dug one of the holes and went to retrieve the beams together.

"Seems like a good plan to me... Oh! Hold on," he said as he remembered something and turned to walk back over to the shed that stood beside his fighting training area. The aged building was actually a storage shed that grounds keepers would have used once upon a time. Of course he wouldn’t know that, but there were a few random items left abandoned in it that he had ended up keeping as he was cleaning it out. In that stack of things was a couple old shovels, one more scoop like and one wider and flatter. He had already used them a couple of times to clear away some of the snow around the training area so he knew they were at least effective.

The collected the two tools and brought them back over to where Aranea was waiting offering her the smaller, scooped one since it might be a bit easier for her to maneuver. "These should help," he told her, his words muffled around the handle of the shovel.
