alexei's eyes flicker over to where will's sat, matching his smile with a warm one of his one. he gestures towards a cabinet with his chin, still working on mashing the potatoes. "why don't you go ahead and grab some plates, then? it shouldn't be too long before i'm finished up. you can go ahead

his mouth twitches at the apron but he barely looks at it, instead drawn to that face that has become so familiar. "yer fixin' up to be a nice little housewife." will drops the promised bouquet on the small wooden table by alexei's kitchen —— if you

the creaking of the door, rusty on its hinges and barely hanging on, joins the wind and rustling of the leaves as it's swung open. a freshly shaved alexei stands in the doorway, wearing a ridiculously frilly apron that was a bit too small on him, decorated in peeling iron-on patches of dinosaurs

there's a savoury smell coming from @stonecoldloner.bsky.social's cabin, as homey and rustic as ever. will rounds the back to vet alexei's supply of firewood —— the cowhand keeps it well stocked, but it could do with topping up. he makes a mental note as
