A welcome mat adorns the floor at the foot of the door. A rack to hang hats and coats is on the left hand side. Right above, a fan lazy spins about on a hot summer day. A single bulb of light illuminates the small hall that the entrance leads to. The entrance smells of the fresh outdoors.

I am part of a family living in the village.  My family has lived here for generations.  We live to serve the king.  My father was one of the king's royal subjects.
I'm glad you like it. It's an old family recipe! Where are you visiting from? From the next town over looking for work, anything of interest in these parts? I heard they need a new blacksmith if you are able to do that. We could use someone to help run the cottage  Don't know a thing about smithing, what sort of help do you need? Someone to help check in guests and clean the rooms. The family wants to take more time off but can't without help sounds easy enough, will i get a discount on room and board? If you want to work full time you can have a free room otherwise you'll get half off sounds good, how soon can i start? How about we have dinner and get to know each other and you start tomorrow Sounds great! We can send for your family or you can go get them in a couple of days. Your choice  Let's give it a few days first and see how things work out.
