The stable hand's quarters are very plainly decorated, with wooden torches situated in stone carvings in the wall. There are bunk beds with cheap hay and feather mattresses for the stable hands to rest in while not working. There are small sacks, as well as beaten and splintered wooden chests for them to keep their belongings in. One small window shines light into the very center of the room.

villager
I am a local peasant and I live in a village on the outskirts of the castle. I work twelve hours a day for no money. Being a villager is hard and dirty work. I do enjoy spending time with my family when I can.
Greetings Nobel! Are you here to check on your horse? Yes. I enjoy coming to the stables. I love horses. Very strong, resilient creatures.  They most certainly are. The stable hands always say that you must always treat their horses with the utmost respect. Indeed. I have studied horses since I was a child. I have a strong connection with them. Do you have a horse here? Oh, no... I'm afraid not. The proper care of a fine horse like these is too much of an expense... Do you care for the horses? I come when I can to assist the stable hands. They mostly have me fetch water for the troughs, hard but rewarding work. In another life I may have been a stable hand.  Do you really think so? What's keeping you from spending more time at the stables? Surely a nobel like you has the means for it. I do, but I am a noble after all. It wouldn't be proper to tend the stables.   Why does everything have to be "proper"? If something makes you happy, then why not go for it! It is the way of things.
