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.

My Lord is very kind  Tell me about your family, I miss my own terribly. i have no family - merely the man whose muse I am  Well, those are the luckiest of men. There's only one f them - he gets very jealous  Would he get jealous if I gave you a hug? He'd probably insert sharp objects into you  Thankfully, I don't see him in this yurt. Where is he now?
