:"You know that "bard",  ? Yeah. I hear the Jucanis paid him to watch over and entertain their kid   while they were out of town. Apparently his attempts at lullabies scared the child so much he ran away from the bard and cried in the street until his parents got back."

Conversations
Stantus and Hjotra can be found alternatively arguing or keeping track of business:

Stantus: "Hjotra, did you change the linens like I asked?" 
Hjotra: "Of course I changed the linens. Don't you trust me, Stantus?" 
Stantus: "Why do you say that?" 
Hjotra: "Today it was the linens, yesterday it was the bath. It feels like you don't trust me." 
Stantus: "I... I'm sorry, love. The inn has just been so busy lately, and the stress is getting to me. I didn't mean to take it out on you." 
Hjotra: "You should take it as a compliment, Stantus. The Jerall View is busy because of our hard work. " 
Stantus: "Yes, you're right. One of these days, though, I'd like to take a vacation. To the Highlands, perhaps. Or maybe High Rock." 
Hjotra: "I could tolerate High Rock."

Hjotra: "Hey, I was just looking down in the cellar. We're out of Greenwood Mead still, it looks like. We've been out for a week now. What's going on?" 
Stantus: "I wrote the order up ages ago, but I can't track down our courier. As soon as we get someone to deliver it, the mead should start flowing again." 
Hjotra: "I see. Well, let's hope the courier turns up sooner rather than later."

Gryfard: "Evening, Stantus." 
Stantus: "Hey, Gryfard. How's business been?" 
Gryfard: "At the stall? Slow as usual. Sometimes I think I wasn't cut out for this whole "clothes-selling" business." 
Stantus: "Sorry to hear that... want a drink?" 
Gryfard: "Drown my sorrows in drink? Heh, absolutely, please, old friend. I've been saving up, feel like splashing out. How about some Surilie Brothers?" 
Stantus: "Coming right up."''
