The little Groundskeeper has an interesting setup around his stove. A set of stools, each taller than the last, leads as a set of steps up to the stovetop where the little creature is toiling away, shredding vegetables and meat and throwing it indiscriminantly into a big pot.
I cooks the dinner and does the laundry and cleans the Citadel, I does! No one but the nice girl makes it easy for poor Groundskeeper, no they don't! Nones come to dinner when they called, I cook 'em poisnens if they not show up again!

“Uhevo'rlo bai'ieu devo…”
A tuneful voice streamed into the kitchen, a continual purr in a thick accent. Moments after it was heard, Daria was twisted around the threshold and vying the groundskeeper with an impish smile.
“Hello, little one,” she oozed off of the doorframe towards the creature, beaming a smile.

Something smelled good from the mess hall wing. Jared paused at one of the enterance ways, a thick log with charred ends cradled in both arms. Somebody left a note in his room last night; something about getting some wood or no more lightstick?
Jared shrugged, squeezing through the door with little to no trouble. "Ey? Who wanted the firewood?"

You is putting the woods in the stove! is the immediate reply. I cooks the soups; I has not the time to do it.
The wee beast smiles back at Daria.

Daria twisted to look at the one who had entered. It was the man who had been hanging upside down. She laughed quietly at the groundskeepers words, before whispering.
“I would do it if I were you… he has poisnens.”
The Doz’rah turned sharply back and nodded an affirmative at the cook before gathering up a handful of spoons and starting around the awfully large wooden table – putting one in the place in front of each chair.

Curiousity had gotten the better of the keeper of the Baffor, who fluttered in through one of the dark windows of the Citadel like a gargantuan lanky butterfly. He zipped up into the great wooden rafters than ran across the ceiling of the kitchen and peered down from above, his hat slouching and slipping over his eyes every few seconds before he would push it away with one heavy cuff.

Jared shrugged, "Wouldn't want that, then.."
Crap, the logs were a tad bit too long for the stove. Oh well, two quick slices from a red blur that originated from the back of Jared's hand fixed the problem promptly and fed the stove for awhile. "Y'want anythin' else?"

It was a rare occasion that the members of the Krath congregated for anything purely social. Most of the time, an occasion such as this would be devoted to discussing important matters, or dealing with them.
The last time the entire group had met, it was when Salem had come back to gather more traitors. It was a pleasure to be able to do this without some sort of problem looming over them.
Naj had been outside practicing for most of the day, and had almost been late, which was evident by a small bead of sweat forming at the top of his forehead. He had just enough time to run back to his tower and change clothes before showing up for dinner. Conveniently enough, he seemed somewhat early, since dinner was still cooking.
As he walked in, he spotted Daria setting out spoons.
"Good evening, I was wondering where you had gone."

Carefully the groundskeeper settles a lid on the top of his pot and turns to look up at the Waltz.
You is setting glasses for Miss Daria, or I is sickening your trees!
It waddles down its flight of stools and begins to fret with the tablecloth and lanterns, counting the Krath members present versus the number who have yet to arrive.
Soups is ready in a minute. It simmerses until the lid comes off and is ready for eatin'.

“I wasn’t going to pass up a chance at tasting our little friends cooking,” Daria winked at Naj, before glancing up into the two glowing slits above – presumably where the Waltz was scowling down at the cook.
With all the spoons set out, Daria slipped down into her chair and waited expectantly.

If the Waltz had been one to make noises, it would have snorted indignantly. Still, it dipped down from the rafters, its wings causing quite the draft as it bobbed about in the air, plucking up glasses and one by one placing them by their spoons. The final goblet it set in front of Daria, whom it made a sort of frown at before rolling in mid air and zipping off into the shadows above once more.

Sonzai wanders in after smelling something interesting, looking about curiously. She hadn't really interacted with the other members of the Krath besides Master and Neepik so she was a bit shy.

The lid of the pot bangs as steam pushes it up a bit. Just a few minutes more and he'll be ready to serve it. It does a count of people again and spots Sonzai, waddling over and reaching up to take the tip of her finger and lead her to the table. It's the best it can do; it's too short to properly take her hand.
Misses Sonzai, you is out of your room! Come, sits you down and be comfortable! There is soups cookin' for dinner.
It pulls out one of the chairs--a difficult task for one so small as it is--and gestures for her to sit.

Sonzai eyes the little character, she hadn't seen much of him but then again she hardly did much since Master left, there just wasn't anything to do. She had always acknowledged him though when he came around though how he knew her name, she didn't know. She sits in the chair he pulled out and smiles a little.
"Thanks."

Jared moved away from the stove shortly after Sonzai's enterance, idling at one of the room's windows. His rope still hung from the third tower, he'd have to take it down soon or risk it breaking from weather next time he felt inclined to use it.
"Groundskeeper, there was a broken rafter in the south wing I fixed for you. No insult intended, but you could not have reached it alone," He said, waiting off to the side for the others all to sit..

The lid blows off the pot; its stew is done. The creature climbs up to the stovetop, ladeling out bowls for the gathered crowd and addressing Jared over its shoulder.
You is good for doing that. I is not good at fixing tall things. Now sits you in a chair; I haves your soups.
It places the five bowls onto a serving platter and carefully, carefully takes it off the counter, holding it over its head and scooting it up onto the table.
Takes a bowl and eats your soups afore it colds!
