Sheona shook her head. "Not yet, no. I was looking at things slowly. Trying to... wrap my mind around all of it is a little overwhelming at the moment."
"Perfectly understandable. Perhaps we should figure out what needs to be done before we go any further."
"Food!" Aodhán piped up, his gray eyes wide. "I am hungry, Mamma."
Sheona sighed and picked him up. "You are always hungry. However, I am hungry as well and Aravilui has a point. We cannot get much further as things are now. Besides, I am getting cold."

"Then let's get back to my -- or, our -- cottage, and we can prepare something," said Conall, starting to lead them in that direction.
"You won't be preparing anything," said Lùthais, shaking his head. "Do you want to poison us?"
Conall frowned down at him. "Your mockery of my cooking skills is beginning to grow tiresome."
Lùthais grinned cheekily. "How can I mock what doesn't exist?"

"Well, if you never give him the chance to cook, how would he ever improve?" Aravilui pointed out. He smiled slightly. "Besides, he is a fair butcher at least, that I know."
Sheona giggled as they headed out. "He has a point. I am sure Conall could be a decent cook if we gave him the lessons necessary."

Conall smiled at them. "I'm glad someone has faith in me, at least."
Lùthais chuckled. "That's a fair point."
"Of course it is, Faithless."
"That's aiming a bit low, isn't it?"
Conall grinned, just as cheekily as Lùthais had moments before. "With the difference in height between us, I have to aim low just to hit you."
"I'm not too short to hit you where it truly hurts, you know."
Conall immediately fell silent, wincing, and Lùthais smiled a little smugly. He held his peace for the rest of the walk to the cottage, and moved quickly to get a fire going in the hearth when everyone was inside.

"Gentlemen," Sheona said sharply, glaring at them. "That is quite enough. You squabble like children. And I would think you would want to set a good example for the most impressionable of us."

Neither Conall nor Lùthais spoke in answer, though Lùthais' smile vanished quickly.
When the fire was lit and the cottage began to warm, Lùthais turned back to the others. "Well, let's see about finding some food."

Aravilui did a very good job at hiding his amusement when both men immediately behaved at a few words from Sheona. Men thought they controlled the world, but it was pretty clear to him where the real power in this odd little family was. "I suppose you have plates this time?"
Sheona giggled. "Yes, we do. Certain things were a little necessary when I was forced to move in."
"I imagine so," Aravilui said politely. "I guess a few more rooms would have been a good idea, but since we are rebuilding your home, it is a bit pointless now. Soon enough there will not be so many people in a small space."
Sheona sighed. "And it will be lovely. I am exceedingly grateful to Conall and Lùthais, but I think we all are in desperate desire for more room by this point."

"You can say that again," Conall sighed. "Fond as I am of the company we keep, some breathing room would be a blessing."
He busied himself finding bowls and spoons for the broth Lùthais was heating over the fire, and couldn't help but feel immensely grateful that his and Lùthais' bodies would allow them even that much real food to keep up the appearance of being human. He didn't want to test the boundaries of Sheona's suspicion.

Aravilui raised a brow for a moment, but let it go. He had a pretty good idea why Conall might want a little more room away from Sheona and her son. It had to be hard for him at times. Every six hours, anyway. "Well, we can see what we can do about that. After we eat."
"And I put Aodhán down to sleep. It gives us that little bit more room."
Aravilui nodded. "Any room we can get will be helpful."

Conall nodded, giving Sheona, Aravilui and Aodhán their bowls of soup before taking his own. He settled down near the fire to eat, watching the others and pondering their progress on Sheona's house. How much sooner would they be able to finish it with help from Aravilui? An extra pair of helping hands might certainly go a long way.

As soon as Aodhán was put to bed, Aravilui and Sheona worked together on a plan for her house. It was similar to what she had before, though Sheona insisted on every room having a window large enough for her to climb out of. Aravilui disliked the idea, knowing that if it was large enough for someone to crawl out it was large enough to crawl in, but Sheona was insistent. She was not going to be trapped inside a house again. Aravilui finally gave in, realizing it was an argument he was not going to win. Sheona had a pretty good idea of how to survive, in any case. She had been alone how long, after all?
