A nondescript square building that has room for two guards that change shift every 8 hours.  There's a fireplace inside, food enough for a week and a large earthenware jug of water for cooking and drinking.

I am a servant in a large house. I clean dishes and help the rich people get dressed. I live under the house in a cozy little room and I have lots to eat. My job is pretty good.
Have you seen my other shoe? What did you do with it? Well, it's a funny story. I mean, not hilarious, but... See, I was chasing away a rabbit from the garden this morning, and my shoe fell off. It felt good to walk barefoot in the dirt for awhile, but when I started looking for my shoe later I realized it was gone. I thought maybe one of the gaurds had picked it up on their rounds. I cannot say that I have seen a shoe, did you retrace your steps? Yes, I walked all up and down the garden but I couldn't find it. I'm afraid to go into the house to look for it since my feet are so dirty now and I only have one shoe. How unfortunate, we could see if maybe there is a spare set of shoe around this shack. Oh, thank you! That's so nice of you! I'll make sure the cook sends you a slice of pie after tonight's dinner. Hmm, it's a little dark in here, should we light the fire to help us look? I suppose we could light the one under the pot. Good idea. Say, I've got an idea! We have to light the fire anyways, so how about I help you cook your dinner while you look for the sheos? What are you able to make? All kinds of things! I clean dishes in the main house, and sometimes the chef teaches me how to cook too. Hmm, let me think. What ingredients have you got there? I see, I am eager to see what you can whip up.
