a gentle smile crosses his lips. he’s used to extravagant things, but gestures like this from his knight aren’t one of them.

“must you do this every time?” he inquires, voice hushed. though, he willingly extends his hand every time.

taken a knee at @pollenkeep.bsky.social's feet, gloved hand holding his like a heavy touch might tarnish unblemished skin. he leans to press his mouth to the backs of his fingers. the king, he loathes. his son, not so much.

austin contemplates, giving will a once-over. god, it would be a lot cheaper. after a few moments of silence, he reaches for the phone to cancel in defeat.

“how long is it gonna take you?” he asks will as he waits for the people to pick up, receiver pressed to his ear.

"then don't be in debt," will says, adopting that easy air exclusively reserved for whenever he wants to make a sale. desperate times call for friendly measures. "get the money back to me soon as you can 'n it'll be like nothin happened."

“i’m also not the sort to be in debt to my new neighbors.” he replies, crossing his arms. meadow lingers near will’s legs, sniffing curiously. “don’t need that hanging over my head when i can’t get it back in time.”

“yeah?” he doesn’t have a clue in the world about cars, but that can’t be good. he slides the cake out of the pan and onto a cooling rack, frowning when he burns his fingers a little. “i’ve got a guy coming to check it out. he’s leaving in two hours.”

⠀"bad news is yer cylinder head's busted," will says, taking an absent sniff.

when he hears the door click open, austin sighs. meadow stands from her bed and stretches, suddenly alert as she makes her way towards the sound.

“will?” he calls for confirmation, still mixing the glaze for the steaming cake. he scoops some up on his finger, popping it into his mouth. too sweet.

austin’s got a guy on the phone within minutes. the quoted price makes him cringe and grip the phone cord. how many muffins can he sell to make that back?

when he hangs up the oven dings. he sighs in frustration, sliding his oven mitts on as he enters the kitchen.

huh. he wasn't aware fairies took house calls. will waits for him to leave then takes a pair of gloves tucked into the back of his belt, unscrewing the oil cap to see the clouded insides. what he sees makes him click his tongue. best to poke around.

what’s up his ass today? he grunts in frustration.

“i better call mine up then, huh?” time is money on this fine morning and the mechanic in the town over will take a few hours. leaving the hood open to air out, he makes his way back inside.

shifting his jaw, irritated. does this guy reckon it'll only take a jiff? "despite my good looks 'n pleasing demeanour, i ain't yer fairy godmother," he grumbles, but he steps over the barbed wire and comes close for a gander, pointed stake in hand.

fence is a generous term for some rusted barbed wire curled low to the ground, stooped with age. he's got two wooden stakes under his arm, dead set on measuring the perimeter for a new fence. fitzroy-quality this time.
