The lodge is a hive of activity, and Skellig is finding all of it - even the less practical - incredibly fascinating. The ingredients for the broth are relatively straightforward and easy to prep with direction from the cook, and once that is on to simmer, attention turns to opening, straightening, untangling things.
Both Skellig and Koshchei have extra sensitive hearing, so it is no surprise when Ludmilla lets out a particularly pained shout that they freeze on instinct - Skellig cringes slightly as the echo reverberates down the staircase, but he can hear Kreyu's voice, calm and steady.
"There is still quite a while to go yet," he says to Koshchei - almost apologetically. "And likely quite a bit more of that to come as well, even with the aid of the ladies and the things we have sent up."
At some point when a lull seems to settle, the cook announces that there is a meal prepared, if they would like to eat when able - after all, that is what HE can do it aid in this event, as stressful as it may be for everyone. Food helps.
