It was therapeutic and kept him grounded and away from the inner turmoil that was his brain. It had been a bit difficult at first- remembering that his wings wouldn't be of too much use other than flying. He had to thank his lucky stars that he could work with his talons. Snowbound was as frosty as ever, even in the summertime, but he could make it work. If plants and shrubs could grow, why not other things? And so the majority of his morning was spent digging through the frosted ground in front of his little house, scraping away and churning the soil to the best of his abilities. From a satchel around his shoulders, he plucked out a packet of bearberry seeds and began planting them one by one, taking great care to make sure each one received equal amounts of attention. The bearberry- he learned- was a small tasteless fruit that had the ability to grow in cold environments like this. While edible in small amounts, it was more geared towards aiding in the medical field. He wasn't sure how much use anyone could make of it, but at the very least it was something. "That is... if you grow..." he hummed softly, patting down a patch of cold soil. Now all he could really do was play the waiting game.
