Thorfinn looked up hearing his name. He didn't really grasp what they were talking about he hadn't been paying a lick of attention until he heard his name. It was just natural for him to zone out when people started chattering around him. He blinked a little hearing Kate say lye he knew what Lye was, it was used in a stronger soap. One used to brighten their blond hair.

Still, he couldn't understand what they were saying enough to follow so he went back to his wood working. The idea planted, maybe he could figure out how to make some lye soap. It had never been a chore he did, but he had seen it done once or twice.
