A wave at the boy's retreating back, watched for as long as it's in view - seconds - then he motions the driver on toward Farmer Part's and returns to his violin playing.

Charlie stands at the entrance to Farmer Parts.  The aforementioned pitchfork in his hands, but no sign of overalls.  Katelyn hovers nearby.  Both look tired, but happy to see Andrew and his wagon. "Got the seed we're needin , boss?  Furrows are ready and me and Kat jest finished picking the last of the loose stones.  We're ready."  Charlie offers a grin, he looks thinner than last Andrew saw him, but more muscular from all the work.

"Seed aplenty, I hope.  I have mostly barley, some wheat and corn and a smattering of rye and oats.  And food!  By the Muse you look hungry..."  The bard unpacks bread, meat, and  juice as well as vegetables from the Buckle's gardens.  "There will be a slight delay in seeding, though.  I had a long talk with Jilseponie.  She mentioned that raking out the larvae is a critical step, one we might not have done to the degree she says is necessary.  Also she mentioned that Connor and his wife have also cleansed a bit of land and shown that it works, so I will be  headed to Krandor once the seeding is done to see if anyone at the Krelin Inn can tell us more about that.  I would like to visit first but I don't think we can wait much longer here."  A pause, a half smile.  "It has been a long time since I stepped foot in there."  With a long breath, he starts unloading rakes.   "Regardless I'll be here to assist with the raking and larvae hunting, plowing and seeding.  So eat up, and then we'll get this seed safe under shelter and go speak to the good farmer."

Charlie, ravishes a carrot as Andrew speaks, barely chewing before swallowing and comes near to choking before a "Aw *cuss*, yer sayin we gotta go over all them furrows?!" Charlie continues to cuss for a while, shaking his head before Kat's hand and look makes him stop and hang his head in resignation. "Fine, yer gonna help ya said, right boss? " Charlie finishes the carrot and reaches for a small loaf of bread, chewing and swallowing quickly he gulps down some water from his canteen. "Best keep a rake in yer hand then.  What's Kat's part in all this?" He ignores a glare from her and continues, "She ain't much fer hoeing, I'm tellin ya, but she does a fine job of healin blisters." He mutters out more mostly under his breath. "An givin em."

"Minu may be behind me, she had some clinic duties to finish up, but for now it's just us, so yes - I'll be raking along side of you.  We'll need to figure out how deep the larvae went.  It's possible they are not dead but merely dormant until more food comes, I don't know.  Still - a bit of song and Kat's ministrations and we'll be fine I think - I'm happy to sing us songs of speed to make the work quicker."

*Kat smiles*  I can give us all some endurance and strength.  I'll rake, too, though I'm sure I won't clear nearly as much land as you two.
