The boarding house was a two story building, in better shape than most were in the district. As she entered, the paladin saw a counter with a receptionist right at the entrance, two sets of stairs from the right of the counter leading to the second floor where rooms were presumably rented, and from a doorwas to the left of the counter she could smell cooking food, probably some sort of stew, but it was hard to tell.<br/><br/>The man at the reception of the boarding house was an elderly, thin man with gaunt cheeks and heavy glasses that magnified his eyes behind it. He had a neatly combed hair and pointy mustache, both white with age. As Evelyn entered into the building, he looked up from behind his counter, greeting her and with a slight nod of his head and looking at her slightly from the side, his head turned and tilted a bit towards the left.<br/>"Yes, yes. Come in, come in. Is it lodging you seek?" he asked in a creaky voice "One silver for a day, five for a week, all up front. You'll have your own room key, and one meal a day is included in the price." he tilted his head further and adjusted his glasses, staring into the lovely paladin's face "Any business you conduct during your stay? If so, you surely know that it is customary to give ten percent of your income for...conducting your business here."
