the sun in my disgrace [OPEN + MINGLE]
WHO: Raleigh Becket
WHERE: 6I village, Inn
WHEN: 21 August - mid morning
OPEN TO: All + Mingle
WARNINGS:Put on your Eclipse Glasses TBD
Raleigh had been on his way back from his normal morning routine of checking his traps and fishing for a while when he noticed the sun wasn't quite the way it normally looked - he'd caught a glance at the reflection and saw that the sun, normally perfectly round, was looking a little like a lemon that had gotten beaten up at the grocery store. Huh. An eclipse. He hasn't seen one since he was in Ranger training and he hadn't gotten a good look at that one because he hadn't been directly in the path of it (and, obviously, he'd been preoccupied).
This one, though, looks like it's just starting so Raleigh has time to go to the Inn and tell the people there that there's an eclipse starting and they should get something to try and look at it. He's not exactly sure of the science behind it but he remembers being a kid and making something with a box and earlier he'd done pretty well with the water. Maybe they can take pots outside with water and just look at the reflections? Might work. Maybe, too, one of the scientists has a better idea of how to get a look at the thing.
For his part, it's just something that's different from the norm. Raleigh hopes it's not a sign that the sun's going to start moving backward or staying up all month like it had a few months back and that it's just a perfectly normal, natural event. After earthquakes and people getting sick with some kind of crazy illness, it was good to just have something...mundane to focus on.

Sliding into his arms when he pulls her close, her smile grows until she actually leans up to steal a soft, quick kiss from him. Not that she thinks he minds at all.
"No, I don't need anything. I can go now if you wish to."
no subject
Raleigh reaches down to grab her hand and links his fingers with hers, gripping it tight. He loves being with Sansa and loves being able to just touch her so for the walk over to the other side of the village.
It's a long walk, actually, and he hopes they'll get to talk for a good while. "Have you been over there at all yet?"
no subject
"Not really, no." She answers with a shake of her head. "I didn't want to go over by myself."
no subject
Raleigh grins at her and points out a few things along the way. One of the things that's the same on both sides is the river, which runs through the breach and over to the unexplored side. There's a lot more forest too and he leads her in there carefully, not wanting them to get lost. He knows one particular path and he sticks to it.
"I figure Jon and Robb are better in the woods than I am but I won't let you get lost," Raleigh promises. "And, if we did get lost, I think we could figure out something fun to do while we're waiting on a rescue."
