When Kate spoke, Thorfinn was in the sitting room. He had had an idea and bolted back down the stairs after seeing the damage upstairs. He looked over at Kate, holding a hand up to tell her to hold on as he shoved the wet couch through the water to where the steps overlooked the stairway like it was nothing.

"River through house." He tried to explain in his broken English. "Something broken." He doesn't even pretend to understand the plumbing.

"Jo!" He called up. "Ready!" His idea was simple in context, he turned back to look at Kate. "Things come down onto here. Anything." The last word was more for her to grab whatever she wanted to help with. He moved back to start back up the saturated steps. "Careful, bad leg." He pointed to her, still worried about her injury.
