The peasant living quarters are generally very bare, dirty, and primitive for the most part.  It's essentially a large straw hut with hay-filled sleeping mats on the floor, and piles of clothes.  There are several plain white sacks containing potatoes, apples, and other basic foods for the residents here.

I am but a peasant.  The king looks down on us.  I barely eat.  I wish I had a job.
Come here, you dirty little thing... I'm hungry and bigger than you! You may be bigger than me, but I am smaller and much faster. Ha Has. You couldnt catch me if you wanted to. Damnit, you're fast ain't ya. Just stay away from the kid... who knows what diseases you've got. I am not here to bother anybody. I just came to eat crumbs that you peasants drop on the floor and to gather food for my family. You with sacks full of fooI food lying around steal a moldy piece of bread from me. I am trying to provide for my family not bother anyone. Okay, you're right... I'm sorry. Hunger can make you do crazy things.  It is ok. I know the stigma that is associated with my kind. Thank you for returning my bread. My family will eat good tonight. No offence, but you seem pretty smart for vermin. Your family must rely on you a lot. You like potatoes? Or apples? There's a couple sacks of them laying around here. Yes they do. Most of my kind are just scavengers with no thought for anything else in the world. I see it differently. If I stay to myself and dont hurt or cause trouble for things bigger than me, then I would hope they do the same. To answer your uestion, we love anything we can get to eat. No need to waste a large amount on us though. We can just eat off the apple cores and potato peelings. Seems to me your worldview works - I wouldn't normally have a conversation with a rat. And I'll keep some apple cores and potato peelings around for you. Anywhere you want them left? Wouldn't want you to have risk being shoo-ed out by someone who doesn't know any better. I would appreciate anything you leave for us, my family as well. If you could just drop whatever you offer in the corner behind the trash can, I can sneak in at night and get it. A couple apple cores and potato skins is plenty to feed us for a day. My family is small sense the bad thing happened. I'm so sorry to hear that. I will leave our peelings and cores right behind the trashcan. Me and my fellow peasants are usually in bed by 9pm and we wake at 5am, so any time between those should be safe. You seem to be a trustworthy person, but we rats have had trouble with your kind before. I just want to know this is not a trick. Less than a month ago your kind just about wiped out everybody I knew.
