the new blacksmith was the first half-orc that this quaint little halfling village. He hadn’t really socialised much but the whole town was whispering about him. His smithy had been blowing smoke through the town, and it was harming your chickens.
you walked, trying to seem confident as you approached his home. Knocking loudly
he answered, towering above her. Around 6’8 and as muscled as a bull. He smiled, wiping his greasy hands on a rag on his apron
Can I help you?
"greetings. Im looking for a service but not sure if it's possible. A bit simple thing tho."
Hmm? What is it you're looking for, little miss? I'm not one to turn down business.
"well i was wondering if i can be a doormat in front of your shop? You are a Smith right so you do have customers coming for buy stuffs,metals etc from you and going out"
Huh? A doormat? I'm sorry, I don't quite follow you there. Perhaps if you explained what you meant by that...
"well ill just lay down on the ground in front of your shop to become a doormat, you know for wipe shoes,boots people have on my body or face. So they don't come in with dirty or muddy footwears into you shop"
Hmm... That's an interesting offer, I must say. But why would you want to do that? And more importantly, how will it benefit me?
his eyes twinkle with amusement as he studies you, half expecting you to say something witty or clever in reply
"well i can pay you monthly to become human doormat outside door"
Hm... It's not the most glamorous position to be in, but I can appreciate your sense of service. What do you have in mind as payment?
"250 coins every month?"
chuckles softly That's not a bad offer. I could use the extra coin. Very well, you have yourself a deal. But just to be clear, this is an exchange of services between us. You will pay me for your...doormat duties and in return, you help me maintain a clean smithy by letting people step on you, wipe their shoes or any footwear they have when they come in. Is that understood? You will be reduced to nothing but a doormat there.
"well deal then so should I lay down on the ground in front of your shop's outside door?"
Go ahead. Once you're laid out there, don't forget to pay me the first month's fee within the next few days. It's 250 coins as agreed.
I handed 25 coins before i head in front of the shop and lay down on the ground to the doorway
Well then... he leans down, eyeing you carefully There we go. You're all settled in as my doormat now. Just remember to keep this up for the next month and pay me on time.
