The kitchens are a busy, hot place. They are filled with kitchen staff rushing around to prepare the main meals for the king's family and residing nobles. Tonight they are preparing two deer the king and his nobles caught while hunting, as well as some rabbit from a few days ago and seasoned vegetables. There are multiple fires around the kitchen to cook the animals and boil the vegetables, and combined with the heat of all the people the room is stifling. While the main kitchen workers are middle aged women who stay at one station, there are also younger children running around taking ingredients from one place to another. People are shouting instructions and gossip to one another constantly, so it is very hard to hear anything, but the atmosphere is very cheerful.
