It's spare and humble.  A small cookpot sits over a fire, and a few books sit on a shelf.  A candle sits in the middle of a table where there are a few plates and silverware set out in preparation for people to eat.

I come from the lower class. I do what I am told without question. I can not read. I have not seen my family in a long time.
Same as always: fetch this, clean that, carry this over there... I'm tired! Yes it is a hard job. I'm starving after having been on my feet all day. Seems like a good idea. Perhaps I will feel better after a good meal... down the hatch! Enjoy, I would like to eat my own food. What's keeping you from retiring to the Guard's bunks? It is getting rather late. I was asked to do more rounds. More rounds? Makes for a long night. You guards haven't had to pull extra since the last invasion. Do you think we're going to be attacked? No I think we will be fine. Then why the long shift do you think? Someone has to do night shifts.
