"There are many reasons for why we do not accept money, but the simplest statement is no, we do not." he walked them out of the room to a courtyard, where a number of monks meditated in the british air. "You will be staying on our third level, above the sleeping acolytes. You will each have a bed, dresser, and mirror. I understand some might find that lacking, but that was the best we had available, on such short notice. You will be sharing the floor with A miss Darren. I must warn you, she is a dryad. She is somewhat antisocial, so feel no need to press her for social contact. She is our cook for our evening meals, unless she is out doing her usual job. And she can usually manage to be polite." he explained, leading them up a long ramp that clung to the side of the building. It led first to the second floor, where those that looked would see a few monks cleaning up a dormitory not unlike the one they had stayed in the night before, with plenty of beds and footlockers for anyone living there. The third floor looked more like an apartment building, admittedly one built into a wooden structure. "The last two doors are yours. You may decide between the two of you which one goes to which of you. Dinner is at 6, always, and morning meals are at 9 in the morning. Try not to be too loud, and I have trouble believing this deal would go badly. you must also decide which of you will be our gardener, and which of you will be our handyman. I leave that, as all choices should be left, to the ones who will be most affected by them." with that, the monk turned, and began heading down the ramp, to the courtyard.

George seemed somewhat unimpressed. "all of that goes to your armor, right?" he asked.
