I think that depends on what "pitching in" entails.

[messire_messer]

There's fetching and carrying. Or you might pick up a tool. Or! [He can't help grinning a bit wider. This almost always works on Cynric.] Maybe you've some idea how to keep our spirits high.

[spysinspades]

A tool?

[David tries to look like he's never really considered the idea, lifting one of said tools in his hand and looking at it dubiously.]

I suppose I could make an effort, hm?

[messire_messer]

Every little bit helps.

[Which is not to say David will do more help than harm.]

[spysinspades]

Indeed.

[One more considering look at the tool, and then a smile]

Very well. Direct me, oh taskmaster.

[messire_messer]

This way, then. Mind your step- don't worry, most of us know how to swim. [Just not this Spade here.]

[spysinspades]

Do we? [David seemed to remember something to the contrary, but why press it beyond amused sarcasm.]

And what, exactly, will you be having me do, oh mighty taskmaster.

[messire_messer]

[He'd heard it all by now. It just stung a little more from this man.]

There ought to be a spare hammer somewhere abouts. Unless you worry about your aim and your fingers?
