Eventually though you reach the last stopgap before the local lord himself; his wife. As you come to understand it, this is primarily because of gender roles in the present-day culture of these humans, and what is considered proper. Already the ruling noble family and retainers seem certain that they want you incorporated into the noble house some way or another, but best left to the women of the family to determine that rather than the lord himself meeting with a stranger, a woman in person and in private.
<span class="mu-r">"Why would you want me? What would you want with me?"</span>
<span class="mu-b">"You arrived here, by ship, not a moon since? You must know by now how... dire things are here, for all of us. More than my family, Eindward needs people of quality, whomever they may be. Think of the good you could do from under our wing!"</span>
Of course if you now have the ear of his wife, then it wouldn't be any challenge for you to simply make the final step up to the ruler of this domain. Like everyone, she is so taken by your presence that you could manage a way of asking her for even a personal introduction to her husband. But as she already desires you a place in her house, and offers you access to the castle, you wonder if you wouldn't prefer leaving things at this level for now. After all, you're not sure you even want to go along with any of this, and risk giving up your helping those in need among the commoners. You'd surely do more good among them, than in the castle... right? But then, who knows what you could accomplish from a position of power...
>Yes indeed, you welcome the offer and of course look forward to meeting the Lord Swifthawk himself!
>Sorry, but the small folk need you. Although you're happy to work with the noble house, you intend to stay among the downtrodden.
>Perhaps a halfway measure? You'd like to continue dealing with her Ladyship personally, but prefer to stay in town for the time being.
>[Write-in.]
