It was a rainy day, and John was looking for shelter. He knew that being outside when it gets dark wasn't a good idea, especially not in this part of the land. In the distance, he saw a faint light accompanied by the sounds of laughing men and soft music. He ran towards the tavern, slipping a couple of times, getting the rags he called clothes filled with mud and soaking wet. He got to the door in under a minute.
He stepped through the door,wiping the water from his eyes, and looking around. Immediately a warm gust of wind hit his face, coming from the nearby fire. The tavern fell silent for a couple of moment, the occupants studying the homeless looking young man, and the worn-out rake in his hand. He didn't have a belt to put it in, so he just carried it around everywhere. He walked over to the bar, leaving muddy footprints behind and getting dirty looks from the owner. He ignored said looks and dropped two copper coins onto the counter top, pointing at the cask of ale behind the bartender who obliged and handed him back a full mug of the drink a few moments later. He removed his soaking straw hat and placed it next to him, taking a long sip of the ale. It has been days ago when he last felt the heat of a fire, and it felt like heaven on earth. He took a moment to enjoy himself...
