WORK DONE

23:53] *Talonclaw watches adrea for a moment or two, then drains the blackwine, sets the bowl down. Steps to My tent & retrieves My hunting bag & belt, adorned with My weapons & pouches, carries both to the fire & sits upon a stump*
[23:55] *Talonclaw sets the belt down & opens the hunting bag, pulling from it the nets, one large with coarse threads, one smaller with fine woven threads*

[23:57] *Talonclaw hears adrea squeal & thinks that slut is enjoying herself wayyy too much...chuckles as I spread out the nets & begin examining them for tears*
[00:01] *Talonclaw examines the nets closely, finding them so far to be servicable*
[00:04] *Talonclaw finishes examining the nets, then folds them up & stows them into the bag*

Getting the Christmas Tree

[13:21] *Talonclaw kicks open one of the heavy main doors of the Lodge & steps inside, dragging an enormous pine fir tree, covered in powdery white snow, grunts as I heave it through the door & drop it inside the Lodge*
[13:22] *Talonclaw steps the the door & pushes it closed against the biting winds*
[13:26] *Talonclaw takes a breath & walks back to the base of the tree, lifting it & straining to heave the thing up toward the high table of the Lodge, uncaring at this point of tables & benches that might be pulled askew by its progress, drags the tree to the kitchen wall on the opposite side to the hearth, then labours to position it ready for lifting into position*
[13:28] *Talonclaw moves to the huge vessel, filled with earth & drags it to the tree base, then lifts the cut trunk & places it over the earthfilled vessel*
[13:29] *Talonclaw nods as I begin the next phase of My task....lifting the tree upright*
[13:31] *Talonclaw steps to the cupboard & after opening it, takes out a good length of strong rope, unfurls the rope bundle then moves to the top of the tree & wraps the rope about the trunk, about 3 ft from the tip, ties a slip knot on the trunk*
[13:33] *Talonclaw stands back with the bulk of the rope in one hand, looks up to the ceiling beam above then heaves the rope to land the rope over the beam, watching the standing part fall to the floor*
[13:33] *adreaTal stepping from the kitchen falls behind her Master as he comes in dragging a tree...he pushing back the benches and tables furs that got in his way she straighten..pickin up some bark and branches tosses to the fire...gins watching him.....staying quite stands back...with a sly grin on her lips*
[13:34] *Talonclaw next, takes a good firm grip on the rope then hauls on it with My weight, the massive tree begining to rise *
[13:35] *Talonclaw concentrating on My task, I slowly haul the tree upward into a vertical position, the base of the trunk impaling itself in the large vessel filled with earth*
[13:36] *Talonclaw adjusts the poistion of the tree then keeping tension on the rope, I tie it off to one of the lamp sconces on that side wall*
[13:37] *Talonclaw stands back, satisfied with the work*
[13:38] *Talonclaw notices adrea has come from the kitchen, looks at her & steps toward her*
[13:38] *Talonclaw looks at the tree*
[13:38] Talonclaw: now you sluts can dress it
[13:39] Talonclaw: perhaps Kashna will help
[13:39] *Talonclaw nods at the tree*
