The man turned to the young woman who had bid him good day, and listened to what she told him. "Well, it is good news indeed that your drinks have been saved! Thank you for your welcome and generosity. My name is Aidan. I will take your kind offer, and give you all the help I can." Aidan was brought a mug of ale, and he took a deep draft of the drink, and smiled.
"This is surely some of the best ale I have tried in a long while!" Aidan said happily to innkeeper. He took another drink. "Aah! Very good. I shall keep this with my while I work. Now where can I be of most help? I am skilled at carving, but can do whatever you need me too." He waited readily for the woman's response. Aidan had traveled by himself for many moons, never staying in one place for long. He looked forward to finally having a sense of being part of a community.
