 _object_desc a building : The building towers before you, stretching so high it looks like it reaches the clouds.

 _self_say Hello, Hermit. Taken this place for a home, I see. 
 _partner_say I sleep wherever I decide to lay my head. I do not like interacting with the people of the village. So, tell me what you want and be on your way! 
 _self_emote laugh 
 _self_say Short and to the point as usual hermit! But I have a point, too. It's a sword. You'd do well to remember that. 
 _partner_say Well, I suppose I could make conversation with you while you are here. I am sure it will not harm me... 
 _self_say That's much better! See your attitude is already improving. And besides, it's not like either of us has much to do. The King and Queen are out for a stroll, so I thought I'd watch over them from this tower. 
 _partner_say Are you a watcher of the Royals?  
 _self_say Oh, I'm not in their Personal Guard if that's what you're asking. More like a... helper. I help them in various ways from time to time. 
 _partner_say How do you help them? I am interested in you because I have never cared to talk to anyone else.  
 _self_say Well Hermit, the people of the village are very nice, mostly. You should try talking to them, sometime. As far as the King and Queen, well, mostly by helping guard them, but from afar you could say. 
 _partner_say Are the King and Queen nice? I have heard rumors...  
 _self_say I would say yes. But it depends on who you ask. Certainly not to those who have offended them. 
 _partner_say I hear he does not treat his servants with much respect. I hear they are planning a revolt.  
 _self_say Oh really, now? And what are the names of these servants?
