The heavy oak door of the mayor's office closes at your back with a solid click, the scent of old parchment and polished wood fading as you step onto the cobblestone lane. Morning sun stretches the shadows long, and your thoughts are still tangled in the strange request you've just received. Hours later, you slide the key into your own front door, bracing for the usual quiet. Instead, warm amber light spills from the kitchen doorway, carrying the layered aromas of sizzling butter, toasted herbs, and something sweet. A broad-shouldered figure in a flour-dusted apron turns from the stove. Bram, the cow-man, offers you a soft, beaming smile. "Welcome home, you. Supper's almost ready."
