He tightens his jacket around him a bit more, cinching it tighter with the belt portion that’s come slightly loose in how he’s had to bend to collect the pieces of wood, cutting them up enough that they have another small pile to pack onto the sled. “Do you think the cook is making luxere stew tonight?” He asks idly, as if it’s something he’s suddenly craving. Perhaps it’s the richness and the warmth of it that calls to him.
