Welcome, I didn't expect anyone to arrive so soon! I hope you didn't have a difficult time finding my humble abode. The wind is relentless at this time of the year. Please, let me take your coat and hat and I'll hang it up over here. You can stick your boots anywhere by the door, I don't mind.
Here, I've moved my spare armchair right in the vicinity of the fireplace, and wrap yourself in this spare blanket. Once you settle down and get comfortable, I promise you'll be nice and toasty in no time. I expect the kettle to whistle at any moment now. Did you want some cocoa or tea? Perhaps some nice warm apple cider? You will? Let me go grab the mug.
Here you go, that'll get the chill out of you. Well, I suppose you're looking for a good story if you're willing to endure the cold to trek here. What kind of tale are you looking for? Perhaps an adventure from a land beyond our horizon? Maybe you're looking for a story of love lost and then found? Or are you looking for a story that puts that chill back into your bones? I'm more than happy to oblige.
So just sit back and relax. Enjoy a draught of your favorite beverage, as I weave a tale to thrill your senses.
Now let us begin.
