When he'd returned to the stables he had put away the sacks of powder and began feeding the horses. The horse he was tending peered at the stable doors, which made Endorel turn his head to look just as Maggie came in and greeted him. He listened to her request, and having not really thought about any preparations for the funeral past the pastries, he agreed with her, "Ven, that'd be right nice of ye. 'Twould be a wonderful addition." He hugs her back as he listens to her compliments and wondered who or what she meant, but he didn't put a voice to his thoughts. He was totally oblivious to any hints at her behavior as he thought of her as like a childhood friend or sister. He finished up with the horse and was getting ready to return to the kitchen, "I've got to check on things in the kitchen, and finish the cake, thou art welcome to join me as my be goin' to the wake after that with some of the pastries." He then noticed how she was sitting on the hay, and gave a sort of curious look that wasn't very serious having been a bit confused.<br/><br/>As he arrived outside he noticed down the way that the casket was being transported into the town meeting room, and his mind wandered with the thought of what the inside of it would look like. He was sure they'd have cleaned him up, but he hadn't the barest of clue the full extent of the damage done to the body. He cleared his mind as he held his hand for his friend, "Up you go, time be fluttered," and he began his procession to the kitchen allowing his hand to be held should she want for the duration it took to get there.
