Severin didn't know when it started, but since that night, he and Lynsandra had simply coexisted and stopped prioritizing building the boat. Instead, she shifted her focus to the mansion and began cleaning the room next to the one she was staying in.
After all, Severin had been sleeping outside the mansion ever since she arrived.
Cleaning the room meant washing old sheets and blankets as well, so Lynsandra took care of that too.
Meanwhile, since he couldn't just let her do everything alone, he helped — doing far more than he had in the past several decades. Well, he had already started doing more when they began working on the boat together.
Yet somehow, he found himself doing more and more each day.
The day after that, she snooped around the kitchen and wouldn't stop peeking into the dish he was preparing. Eventually, he let her join in and taught her how he cooked in a kitchen like this one — nothing like the kitchens she was used to back where she came from.
