…the farmer was quite pissed off.

One of the reasons she had taken this job at the inn was to hear tidbits of gossip from people outside of Town. It was not a good idea to spread stories just about your neighbors. You had to mix things up a bit.
One of the things she had been interested lately was the good looking (for an Offy) young man that came into Town with Ala, the Trucker. She had always come into Town alone before, but there she was yesterday, driving her wagon with an Offy sitting next to her wearing bloodstained and tattered clothing. Golta was dying to know the story behind that.
She was getting a dusting cloth from the downstairs closet when the Curator walked into the inn. He was tall, thin, tanned and had a look in his eyes like you’d see on a cat looking for a fat rat. Golta watched as he walked up to the bar and ordered a mug of porter from Mr. Brunfelder, who looked at the Curator the way he would have looked at a bucket of slop, but poured the mug anyway.
