Why does Fane need painkillers...? [ He's a skeleton? Either way, hopefully a couple joints have made it over to Steph, who he thinks needs painkillers more than he does, dragging himself over to the tree and finding a sturdy branch or two he can snap off. ]

And what're you cutting down trees for, anyways? It's not that cold in the castle anymore, and there's other stuff you can use for smoke signals.
