A quaint manor that sits in the rolling hills. It is surrounded by a small stone fence and looks quite inviting to passersby. It looks like any other home that a well off business man would own.

well off business man
I am a rich merchant. I travel between many kingdoms selling and trading wares. I have been very successful.
Peace, good feline! I mean you no harm Good man, do you know of a safe place I could live? I am a stray and it is not a good life. Pretty terrible, in fact. But this is a beautiful manner is it not? Why cannot you live happily here?  I have been living in hiding here, but people see me as a stray and they run me off and throw things at me. They think I am dirty and a nuisance. Well, ARE you dirty and a nuisance?  I have no access to clean water to bathe in, so I am a little dirty although I try to stay clean. And I try to not be a nuisance, although sometimes I take food from the garbage to feed myself. Ah, so YOU are the varmint who has been leaving a trail of trash everywhere! I do my best to not leave trash everywhere! It is a hard life I live and you must have pity on me Do the people who run the bookshop not feed you ?  No, they do not feed me. Sometimes they give me scraps, but not often. I would take you home with me but I travel so much of the time  I was so hoping you could take me in, too. I wouldn't be a nuisance and I would be a good companion.
