A small, quaint kitchen. Pots and pans fill the ceiling and make a clamor on a windy day. A small squat table, surrounding by four chairs, sit in the back of the kitchen. A small wood burning stove is seen upon entering.

I am an average village in the village. I work with other villages to build new towers for the king. I live in a small hut near the outskirts of the village.
Count me in. I'm exhausted from working all day. "Hey! Good to see you here. It's been a rough day out in the fields?" Naah, I'm not in the fields any more. Now I'm on the construction crew building towers. "Mm, I thought you were afraid of heights. How are you handling that?" Someone has to hold the ladder! "Ha! I don't know if I'd trust the ladder to be still if you were holding it!" Really? You should know that me being short and fat is an advantage in holding down the ladder. I was built for the job. "Ah, that's your excuse eh? It's all to be good at your job?" How's that soup coming? I told you I was hungry. "It was coming along fine, but if you want to finish cooking it, go right ahead" No, no, no. I was never much one for women's work like you are so good at. "I can see why your wife left you"
