Mayleen went back to her mare and slung a pack of her belongings over her shoulder before going to her room. Her room was next to Nickolas and she set her pack on the floor.  She had not been to a regular town. The furniture was nice, and the room was warmer than her family's wigwam. She exited the room and locked the door behind her.<br/>A table beside the fireplace empty. She sat down looking around her. The townspeople wore odd clothes. The men could easily get around in pants. The ladies wore long dresses like the lore mistress. She could not understand why they would wear tight bodices and floor-length skirts. Their clothes had to filthy, got easily torn, and not practical for work, hunting, or running in.<br/><br/>She held up her food token as soon as the barmaid arrived. Mayleen watched as the barmaid tended to patrons, appear and disappear from the kitchen. She asked what some words meant on the menu. Then settled on Chicken soup, roast beef. potatoes, and cornbread, and water.  The townsfolk shook grains of white from pretty glasses on to their food and added yellow dollops to potatoes and bread. She like the taste. It was foodstuff she liked just made different. She was used to using her hands, but she mimicked people using the utensils by their plates. She ate with the spoon and stabbed meat with her progonned tool. She recognized the oddly shaped knife. She hopped she would not have to get used to the town customs. She thought her family would be laughing at her. She liked the colors of peoples' clothes.<br/><br/>Once she ate her fill she was very sleepy and returned to her room. She unlocked the door, entered, and locked it as her father told her. She tried to sleep on the soft bed. but was used to sleeping on the ground. She added a few logs to the fireplace in her room and piled the blankets on the floor. She covered up in a fur blanket.<br/><br/>The next morning, she woke up before sunrise forgetting where she was. She was in charge of feeding the animals and gathering eggs. But she entered the privy out of curiosity. She saw a tub and got out soap and washed her clothes and hides. She washed her face from water in the sink.  It would be nice having water where you slept and not having to go in the woods.<br/><br/>She heard Nickelous close his door and pass her door. She dressed in a fresh deer hide dress with fringe and heavy beading. She put on moccasins, a turquoise necklace, and matching earrings. She read a note that was shoved under her door. She walked downstairs to eat. he opened the door walked out and relocked it before going downstairs to breakfast. She carried the token in her hand and sat beside the fireplace. She noticed Teresa was not down yet and passed Nickolas, "Meni Hay, Nickalous, does ya want company?"
