John noticed they had finished working on what he had planned for the day, surprised that they got it done so quickly. Easier with two pairs of hands....

Silver sat back and gave a pleasant sigh. "This was fun."
"Yeah, I guess it goes faster with more hands."
Silver smiled and stood up. "Anything else ya need help with?"
John looked over the field and scrunched his eyebrows. "I don't know, maybe? If you want to help...."
"Do you want to just walk around and check on the other plants? I kind of can't think of anything."
"Sure." Silver said, getting up.
John smiled brightly, standing to move with her, glancing at the plants as he walked.
Silver continued down her row as she checked the plants.
John started whistling something quietly, only pausing when he saw something wrong.
Silver paused and looked back at him. "What is it?"
"Just a few dead leaves. Probably from a bug or something, they don't usually die this early in the season." He quickly picked them off and shoved them in his pocket. If it wasn't bugs and it was a disease, leaving them in the dirt would do nothing.
Silver nodded and kept going.
Johnathan started walking slowly, checking for anything else.
Silver found a dead leaf every now and then but not many.
Johnathan glanced up at the sky for a second, squinting at the sun. He wondered if they let it rain for the plants, because he had never seen it himself. And yet when he kneeled down to check the plants, they were healthy and watered.
Silver glanced at him but continued to work. Thinking about many things, most of which were sad but she tried to think cheerfully.
Johnathan glanced back at her for a second, but was enjoying the silent company. Talk always ended up involving cruel words you can't take back and him feeling like he just ruined something.
((That's sad.))Silver smiled and hummed quietly.
Johnathan glanced at her when she started humming, but he just smiled and kept walking. He liked it when she hummed, it sounded nice. Besides, there was always humming or singing in his house and he kind of missed it. Here it was just a wall of noise if there was any at all.
Silver hummed a nice beat, calming herself.
Johnathan froze for a second when he saw the dirt moving before snorting as an overly fat worm broke the surface. The worm went back into the dirt before the sun dried him up.
Silver stopped humming, suddenly self conscious.
"Is everything okay? You stopped humming..." John scrunched his eyebrows, paling slightly. Does she think I was laughing at her?
"What? Yeah, yeah." Silver said, fixing her shirt and jacket.
John scrunched his eyebrows again. "Are you sure? You're fiddling."
Silver looked at her hands and pursed her lips. "Thanks a lot." She said as if her hands could listen. "I'm self conscious when I remember to be."
Johnathan could understand that. "You know I quite liked the humming, I won't judge if you wish to continue."
Silver smiled and blushed a little. "I can sing if you wish."
Johnathan smiled. "Okay, of you are comfortable. You know I hear music helps the plants...though that might just be Satyrs...." he blushed too and rubbed the back of his neck.
"Do you have a favorite song?"
"Um...a lot of what I know is what my sisters listen to. I'm guessing you don't know any French songs." He beamed as a terrible idea came to mind. "How about Disney?"
Silver nodded. "Yeah, I knew Disney."
"Sing your favorite? Favorite Disney songs are a great way to get to know someone."
"Really?" Silver asked, before thinking. "Crud, I have two." She whispered before starting to sing Bells of Notre Dame.
John smiled as he listened, nearing the end of his row.
Silver stopped at the end of her row and continued to sing.
John started to hum along quietly as he moved on to the next row, even though he had already gone through it. He liked spending time with her, it felt good to have friends.
Silver finished singing. "What's your favorite?"
"Bella Notte." John whispered as he flashed back to watching it with his sisters when he was little, his parents curled up in the arm chair. His voice was soft as he sang, just loud enough to hear.
Silver smiled and followed him, wanting to hear him as best as she could. She closed her eyes and listened.
"This lovely Bella Notte..." The words washed over his tongue as he pictured Diana and Taya slow dancing in the kitchen while him and Maria sang. She was always laughing through it. John smiled softly as he paused at a plant, for no reason.
John finished the last note and glanced at her.
Silver applauded. "Very good."
