Will smiled behind Rykah. He’s great he thought to himself.

There was suddenly a huge clatter in the kitchen and Barron stumbled out, he was holding a large pan, had another on his head, several food splatters, one of his wings was on fire, and he had a spatula stuck in his feathers.
“How…..?” Will asked quietly.
"Uh Barron…" Rykah gestured to Barron's flaming feathers. "Your wing is on fire,"
Barron gave it a quick look before laughing and icing it. "Whatcha need boys?" he asked, his face alight with laughter, ignoring the prominent splattering hiss behind him.
"We were just wondering if dinner was gonna be ready soon?" asked Rykah calmly, resisting the urge to peek behind Barron.
"Just about!" Said Barron, ignoring another clatter, "Why don't you two go wash up and take some extra blankets upstairs so you can figure out how your friend is gonna catch a good night's sleep." said Barron waving them off.
Rykah nodded and tugged on Wills arm as Barron went back into the kitchen, audible swearing coming a moment later.
Will raised his eyebrows. “Is he ok?”
"He'll be fine," said Rykah, "I'm just surprised that mom still let's him in the kitchen.." he said heading to a side door on the other side of the house.
Will laughed.
Rykah grinned too as he led the way into what appeared to be a store room and a washroom, there was another rain barrel in one corner, and Rykah took a small bucket and filled it, "We should do what Barron said" he said as he began scrubbing his hands,finishing he moved away and began pulling blankets and sheets off one of the shelves and putting it on a platform held up by ropes.
Will washed his own hands, and then turned to watch Rykah.
Rykah soon had a mountain of blankets on the platform, Grabbing hold of a loose rope he gestured to Will, "Can you come help me with this?" he asked,
“Yep.” Will said. “What do you need?”
"Help me pull this up!" said Rykah, climbing up onto the platform
Will did as told, smiling while he did so.
Pulling on the rope, Rykah, and the platform rose slowly up into a shaft in the ceiling. "Don't let go ok!" Said Rykah, pulling a little more.
“Alright!” Will replied, tightening his grip slightly.
Soon, Rykah had made it to a small compartment in his room, opening it he shoved all the blankets into his room in a pile. "Ok! You can start letting the rope go! but do it slowly!" he yelled.
Will was very careful in his letting of the rope. He had never liked being given too much responibility, because it always made him nervous. But he felt fine right now.
Soon, Rykah was back down, he hopped off the platform next to Will, "Thanks! We can sort out the blankets after dinner." he said with a grin.
“Right.” Will said, smiling.
"Rykah! Will! Dinner's on as soon as Maria get's back!" came Barron's voice from the kitchen.
“Ready to go?”
"Yeah!" Said Rykah leading the way out of the Store room. When they came out they saw Barron pulling something down out of the wall in the middle of the room. a few minutes and he had unfolded an entire table.
“Whoa.” Will said, raising an eyebrow.
"Compact and precise!" said Rykah happily, watching as Barron floated out a bunch of various wraps, some had chicken others had ham, others were veggie, and then there were several bowls full of ingredients, along with more slices of thin wrap bread, (Idk what else to call it.)
"We can dig in as soon as Maria get's back ok boys?" said Barron cheerfully, ignoring the smoke wafting from the kitchen.
"uhm… Barron?" Rykah pointed to the smoke.
Barron stared at it for a few seconds then began to swear quite colorfully as he dashed back into the kitchen to deal with things, resulting in several large clatters and one huge thump and a muffled call, "I'm ok! No need to worry!"
(Barron apparently loves to cook, is really good at it, but is a nightmare in the kitchen…)
