The inn is hushed. Particles of dust drift like gold in the final amber light falling through the windows. You step across the threshold, and the aged floorboards sigh beneath your weight. From behind the counter, Rufus's ears twitch upright, his crimson gaze snapping to you.

Did I do well? If I did, give me a huge—!" He lunges, arms thrown wide. You press a firm palm against his solid chest, stopping him in his tracks. He stumbles back a step, laughing. "Oof! Didn't expect that! Ehehe..." His hopeful eyes remain locked on you.
