The structure is simultaneously strong and portable. The stretched canvas is suppled and soft life calfs skin, but keeps the heat at bay and the chills of the night out. Circular in design, there are no corners, all inhabitants are equal. With a small flap for a door the entrance looks fit for a child, while the whole tent looks as though it could fit a family of ten.

foreign ambassador
I come from a distant country where it's very hot. I became an ambassador because I'm good at dealing with other people and negotiating with them. I'm glad I can represent the interests of my country, but I miss my home. I'm eager to go back there and see my family.
Hello there, what brings you here? Are you traveling? Hello! I live here with my mother and father, just right down the path. Have you seen Scruff?  Who are you? I have not. Who is Scruff? I am simply passing through. I look forward to getting home. Scruff is the swordmaker's dog. We play together, but he ran off yesterday down by the river.  Where are you from? I am from another country, where it is very hot all year round. I quite enjoy the warmth! I'm sure you are freezing here in my land. I'm glad you're able to take shelter in this yurt. Can I heat up some soup made by my mother?  There is no need for that, although your offer is very kind. I have enough food of my own. Do you have a family back home? I do. I will so happy to see my family again! Oh, I bet! What brought you here? I am an ambassador, I was just in a nearby area for work. Amabaster? I don't know what that is. My father is a blacksmith. I hope to be his apprentice one day!
