Tackling the leaves

Ezra took the rake he was offered and gave Memento a nod as she told him where she planned to start and he in turn began to look around for where he wanted to begin. There was so much surface area to cover that it was hard to decide where to tackle first, but he finally just decided that it was better to just pick a random spot than it was to just stand around frozen by indecision. He picked a clearing in the middle of a cluster of trees and began to use the rake to pull the leaves together, raking them away from the base of the trees and into a pile in the middle. It was fairly slow going at first as he got used to the feeling of the rake between his jaws and figured out a comfortable way to hold it with his unusually sharp teeth, but after a bit of time he managed to find a rhythm and his work started moving at a better pace.

He didn't really notice it at first, but at some point he glanced up and noticed Aquila swooping down from between the branches, scooping up clusters of leaves in her talons and dropping them onto the pile he was making. He couldn't help but smirk and chuckle as he watched the eagle work, making very slow work of it but still helping all the same. He gave a little shake of his head and kept going, continuing to clear up the area until a large pile of leaves was gathered in the middle of the clearing. With a sigh he sat down his rake, looking around for a moment at his progress. "How are you doing, Memento?" he called, peeking through the trees toward the bushes she had moved toward before they separated.
