at 02:43 | The Keep - Main HallYehudit looked at the sashes. They were not very different from the sheets she used to tie together to climb out of windows to escape doing chores at the inn. Several falls into the bushes taught her the best knots. She sat on the floor and began knotting the sashes together.

at 03:39 | The Keep - Main HallWulfsen blushed, but he grinned too.
"Lek, come over here and help." Wulfsen called to his page.
He took off his dress jacket and neatly hung it over a chair. He loosened his collar, then removed his cuff links, dropped them in a pocket, and rolled up his sleeves. He stretched his arms and shoulders, flexing his muscles for Sileas's benefit.

at 03:50 | The Keep - Main HallIn reply to Sileas Thornblade (msg # 94):
Wulfsen winked at Sileas, loosening his collar another two buttons. He picked up the sash rope.
"Okay Lek, let's lower this slowly- don't want it to drop on someone's head." Wulfsen planted his feet and slowly pushed the bench into the hole and began feeding rope.

at 03:55 | The Keep - Main HallLek lowered the bench slowly with Wulfsen's help. Lek had built up a lot of muscle while training so this was not as hard as it looked. His thoughts traveled to Pinja. He wondered if she was safe where she was, outside of the magical barrier Bai had set up. He wished he could protect her, that Pinja felt safe enough to accept his protection.

at 04:39 | The Keep - Main HallRaising the bench was a lot harder than lowering it- trying to keep it steady while loaded with so much food was not easy. Lek's biceps bulged against his sleeves.
