"Normal stuff like, or end of the day we drop the kid's taking down into a skiff through the hatch." He nods to the hole in the floor. "Lamn stays down on his level fer days at a time, or sometimes like we'll all go down in a skiff to see the boss." He gestures at a coil of rope, one of many by the hole to the river. "That one be tied to a skiff if ye give it a tug it'll be back." He looks broken and defeated now and you sense he's not trying to trick you anymore.
