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.

family
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.
Thank you, I am happy to finally be here, the trip was long and arduous.  Here it is pretty wet out there. Take this. Thank you, that is very thoughtful. It is sunny now. thank God that weather passed. Now where did you guys come from? We traveled from Cecilly through the woods and around the lake. You must be so tired. Here sit down while i turn the fan on. I am. perchance do you have a bite to eat? Yes of course, here you are. Ahh that feels so much better.  Wet hats are so unpleasant.  I'll take those. What brings you to this area? I am here looking for a suitor for my daughter.  Oh i see, have you heard good things of this area or do you know someone here?
