[Lucius looks back at Geddoe and cocks an eyebrow in curiosity.]
There's a bath here? Provided it's operational, an after-dinner soak could be just the thing for chasing away the chills and aiding the digestion.
[Having completed the mixture, Lucius pulls the chicken out of the oven and pours it into the earthen pot it sets in. Ensuring it receives a good coverage, he then covers it with the lid again and sets it into the oven.]
Shouldn't be too long on that now. It will, doubtlessly, start to smell as if we could dive-in any minute but believe me when I say the scent is deceiving. I'll mix-up some proprer spiced oil for the bread, but I'd hold off on the snacks for now or we're likely to kill our appetite.
[Lucius begins cutting up the crusty bread and portioning it out for the two of them, as well as prepping dishes for when the time to serve rolled around.
I must say, I was surprised by the selection of herbs and spices they had down there. Either this place had access to some enviable trade routes or they spent considerable resources on staying well-stocked. Either way, it will certainly make for a pleasant treat in the middle of all this cold and dreariness.
