They had a lot of work to do: that much was clear. Eleven eyed the snowy estate, wandering decrepit halls as the bulk of them split off to explore the grounds. It was an expansive space, but dusty and run-down and in need of as much repair as Haltham implied. With little else to do, Eleven pulled his hair out of his face and set to work.
Cleaning took foremost priority, with agonizingly slow progress. Just one room could take hours to free of the most base level of dust and grime. While he was no stranger to hard chores, never had he been faced with such a large-scale project.
"Goddess," he said, leaning on his fraying broom. "By the time we're done with all this, we'll probably be leaving."
B- Farm
But by far, his favorite place in the entire estate was the garden. It too required work: weeded and cleared of debris, the soil churned once they'd sorted out how to activate the thralling magic. In a cold world plagued by death, Eleven took a fond, quiet comfort in the patch, lending attentive care to the seeds and growing sprouts with a swelling pride that came with sowing life that grew in spite of the cold.
When taking a rest or not otherwise actively occupied with work, he could often be found there, tending the buds or bundled up and writing in a journal nearby, or else muttering over a small crystal between flashes of small-scale magic. Content, in a way he hadn't been since arriving.
C- Helping Hand
"Here."
In the evenings, Eleven volunteered to seek out those that might have returned late or worse for wear to bring them food, water, a hot drink, bandages, or a brush of healing magic where needed. Almost as though he'd taken the time in the servant's quarters to heart and determined to avail his service toward improving the lives of as many of them as he could manage- though not to the extent of bending to orders. Requests, on the other hand..
Eleven offered a smile, then stepped back. "I hope that helps."
