That was a lot of questions all at once. Meadow’s eyes went wide for a moment as the boy jumped out from what seemed like… nowhere? Well, wherever he’d been hiding, he’d done a pretty good job. Certainly it was enough to startle her. Between that and the flood of questions, she had to take a step back. Take a deep breath. Process what he’d said… okay, he wanted to know what she was doing. He wanted to come with her while she was doing what she was doing. Was he going to help, or just come and be underfoot and noisy? That was yet to be seen. Meadow wasn’t sure how she felt about the latest gaggle of children within the castle. Though she’d only observed them at a distance, they were certainly… um… lively. She had to be sorry that she didn’t handle noise very well.
But how much noise could one pup make? Surely, if he came out to the greenhouse with her, then he’d have to be helpful… right? The girl thought about it for a moment before nodding. Vendrick could come with her, she was alright with that. They weren’t going very far, and were still well within the boundaries of the castle. She gestures to the boy, asking him to follow her. They would walk out to the greenhouse together.
Holding the door for the boy as they made their way inside, Meadow motioned to the younger boy to follow her. She walks with a purpose toward the doors that weren’t used in the winter. They’d been overlooked when everything was sealed up for the winter. Gesturing the boy closer, Meadow ran her paw along the gap between the door and the ground, feeling the same chill that rippled through the outdoors. As Vendrick took a moment to do the same, Meadow began to measure the rawhide scraps against the space. Grateful that this had become a two person job instead of one, she marked it out and took a gardening stake to score it out. She had to be careful not to leave that where he was going to step on it or mess with it, shoot.
