Thursday DE: i'll get around to it

[needsmoreresearch]

Looking out at the snow that I'll need to be shoveling later and wondering: what does your character think of as their chores? Not big important duties, but the little routine stuff. Do they like the work? Are they good about getting it done? Do they complain and put it off?

Eriond used to have regular chores like cleaning dishes and fishing for dinner sometimes etc. Or helping to cook, pitching tents. He doesn't anymore.

Evelyn probably helps out in the library, so shelving, sorting, maybe note-copying, etc, as well as homework and exercises. Some amount of cleaning.

Lois is a Regular Modern Adult with Regular Modern Adult chores. Cooking probably annoys her the most. She'll have take-out where possible.

Artoo probably counts regular patrols or maintenance checks as chores, but some of that is quiet time with Anakin where it's just them flying or repairing the ship, and he's probably at his best then, so Artoo actually really likes chores. Rhythm does the boys good.

Anakin, by contrast, does not actually count such things as chores because they're enjoyable. Standing duty over non-Padme politicians, maybe, or politics in general. He has no patience for it. Ever. That is a life-long irritation.

Tavi's only real chore these days is paperwork. Endless, endless paperwork. And, soon, some baby-minding duties. He complains but he gets his stuff done and only puts things off if it's honestly better for him to take a bloody break before he sets it all on fire instead. He used to have things like cleaning, kitchen duty, lambing watch, etc, but these days? Paperwork. Curse of power.
