[so, slowly but surely he's revealing himself as being Dean Winchester to the rest of his Smallville friends, and one of those people turned out to be Mrs. Kent. Thankfully, she took it well -- she just decided to hold it over his head by putting him to work.

To be honest, he didn't mind. It was something to do when Lana wasn't around, and he liked the old house. It reminded him of home, but in a good way.

He decided to start with the yard work today, raking up the leaves into piles for him to put into bags and move off the lawn. And for the most part, he thinks he's alone.

Thinks being the operative word.]

I don't see you around here much. Do you live out of town?

[hestillsavesmylife]

I may as well. I spend most of my time in Metropolis.

[hasperkynipples]

Metropolis. Nice city.

[hestillsavesmylife]

Not as nice as it is here.

[hasperkynipples]

You prefer the wide open pastures?

[hestillsavesmylife]

I enjoy watching the seasons change. It's not as easy to do in the city.

[hasperkynipples]

[nods]

That's true. The city kind of makes it all one thing.

When winter comes, I'm building an ice castle.

[sure, she's kinda already got one, but details]

[hasperkynipples]

[grins back]

That sounds pretty awesome.

[hestillsavesmylife]

It will be.

If you'd like, I can help with the mess I made. I'm sure there's another rake in the barn.

[hasperkynipples]

Thanks. I'd appreciate that.

[hestillsavesmylife]

[She leaves and returns with said rake, starting her work immediately.]

[hasperkynipples]

[works with her, getting all the leaves back into a pile before going to find the bags.]

[hestillsavesmylife]

[she waits for him, of course. she's going to help him finish the job]

[hasperkynipples]

[hands her one of the bags when he comes back, before shaking the second open and starting to shovel the leaves into it]

Thanks again, for the hand.

[hestillsavesmylife]

It was the least I could do.

[hasperkynipples]

Were you here looking for Clark?

[hestillsavesmylife]

I was. Have you seen him?

[hasperkynipples]

Yeah, I think he was heading to the Talon. He should be back in a few minutes if you want to wait inside.

[hestillsavesmylife]

Thank you. It was a pleasure to finally meet you, Dean.

[hasperkynipples]

You too.

[and with that, he will go back to his yard work.]
