Tal knew very well that moving the table could have gone a lot worse and he breathed a sigh of relief when nothing worse happened to delay them further. He wasn't much for interior decorating, but he had to admit that it looked a lot better in its new location, matched with furniture of a similar color and style.
Before he had a chance to rest on his laurels, however, he turned around to survey the rest of the room and realized just how dusty things had gotten in the past couple of seasons. Neither Noah nor Delia had been around much - and it showed in the neglect the offices had suffered. With a heavy sigh the courier headed out into the hall to find a broom and dustpan and some raggedy old curtains that he could tear up for cloths. Distributing those to his helpers, he began to tackle the floors with the broom while the soldiers used buckets of snowmelt to scrub at the grime on tables and shelves. "Are y'even gonna spend much time here?" he called over to the General - er, Warden - with a nose wrinkled against the dust being raised. "Mebbe it's better t'just... throw some of those white sheet things over the furniture and close the rooms up for awhile?"
Tal finds a broom and dustpan and begins to sweep, while setting his minions to dust and polish the higher surfaces.
