No idea if I'll actually be able to get my systemmates to work on this, but I'm gonna try to have us add at least a sentence to this every day, in a sort of "Yes, and..." game. Please feel free to pester us lightly about this if we don't update it daily.

Winter was coming, and the ambitious servant knew when to start stocking up on supplies.
Nobles hardly ever notice if a single pinch of salt goes missing, or a loose thread here or there, or if the ash from the chimney hadn't gotten thrown out to the woods like it was supposed to.
Saith, the children are even happy to have the servants help them get out of eating their vegetables, or have their old plates and cups cleared away with food still hugging the corners while their parents bicker over gossip across the table from them.
Oh Young Lord Hathen? Yes, he ate all his vegetables. Such a good lad, he'll surely grow up big and strong. Young Lady Hiasinth's old dress that was becoming a bit too tattered for polite society? Yes Mistress, I'll take it out with the trash and she'll never know.
Food can be dried, smoked, and salted, and frozen once the ice starts to settle over the lake. Old dresses can be fashioned into all sorts of useful items, from shirts to bags to pillows and blankets.
The Nobles never notice the small things missing, as long as they think it's just the help cleaning away their messes.
