[MINGLE] Great Shakes

[sixthiteration]

WHO: EVERYBODY
WHERE: EVERYWHERE
WHEN: 13 July (afternoon, main quake) - 14 July (morning, last aftershocks)
OPEN TO: ALL - MINGLE
WARNINGS: Potential injuries, PTSD, and anxiety

---

The sun is still high when the earth begins its initial, almost benign sway, but seasoned villagers know well enough that what follows will be far from gentle. Vibrations ramp up swiftly, exponentially, until within the space of a few seconds, the whole world is shaking — Dishes pinging down from shelves, young trees sifting free of the earth, shingles dislodging and tumbling like rain.

After 20 seconds, the worst is done, and after 30 the shaking has ebbed completely. Some will have escaped relatively unscathed, but others will not have been so lucky...

...and the aftershocks are still to come.

"I would." She answered, wiping her hands on the spare cloth she always left in the jail. "If my bull listens to you, then I think you would help a great deal. They don't always take to others. I think that indicates that you're the right person to assist me."

And she needed the help. Her spirit didn't feel as bright as it used to. Having someone else, some company and assistance would let her feel strong again. It wouldn't seem that everything was resting on her shoulders. These weren't just animals, they were living creatures that depended on her.

"I'm Margaery Tyrell." She accepted his hand and gave a small shake. "I can mend them as well. I have a spinning wheel and loom. Anything you need made, I can help."

"That enough for me." Danny wasn't really picky about what he wore and since he wasn't in New York he didn't have to worry about his appearance anymore. "Just let me know when you need me to swing by. I train in the early mornings but I'm free any time after that."

He might have a handful of stupid questions starting out, just because he was good with animals didn't mean he knew how to take care of them, but Danny was a quick and persistent learner. When he wanted to do something, he did it. There wasn't room for maybes or questioning thoughts and he'd already commit to the idea as he accepted to help her.

Danny's hand fell back down to his side as he smiled. "And let me know what you need me to do." That was also kind of important.
