"Thanks." The boy said as he took the man's offered hand up. It was pretty amazing how tiny his hand felt in the man's seemingly giant paw - but Bordtai was small for his age, let alone so much younger than the adult. Even so, he sometimes wondered if he'd ever hit a growth spurt. Even the girls were starting to get taller than he was.
Seeing the man move to pick up the logs, Bordtai had to nearly dive at one to keep from being caught walking into the kitchens empty handed. Last thing he wanted was for someone to call him lazy. Carrying one log while the man carried the other, Bordtai nodded at his name then shrugged at the question of chores.
"I'm to be helping the kitchen staff all day. Probably wood first, some dishes usually and when the fires die down they like to have me take out extra ash before bringing more wood again. After that they shoo me out to wash myself before I get everything else dirty."
