Family is important here.

I end up in a new place and befriend two tooth eaters. We go into town for a specific reason but end up staying and rooming together. I make the giant fluffy flying bison cat type creature smaller, convincing the other to use a spell to make it cat size. It works and we don't have to leave him behind. I worried someone would steal him. Anyway I stay with them and they decide to get jobs. In this world its customary for you to live with and be dependant on whoever claims you. So age doesn't matter, its more about whose household you belong to. A lord comes to dinner and I make his species iconic recipe. It turns out pretty good, some meatballs in sauce, like Swedish meatballs. He offers to teach me how to make it. I say making it was the highlight of my year, after coming here to this town. This town is delightful really and I really like it. I worry he means to offer me marriage, his daughter needs a mother. She runs away a lot, that originally why he hired us and why he's eating dinner with us, that created the association. We track her down each time she runs away and we find her in a hospital the last time. She evades military so well by hiding in the ceiling. It comes out she's sad about her grandmother's death. This triggers me to recall my grandparents. Everyone in this town is nice to me about them, as if they are so important, as if I was living in their household and now I'm separated from them and it's tragic. Everyone mentions them. I miss my grandmother's annual letter and keep searching my keepsake tin for it, but I only see it once. I'm worried she forgot the next letter, this year one. ~ There's a house, its perfect. It has two fire places. One is electric. I realize one day when I'm cold and it doesn't work, that I just have to light a fire, a real fire. I have magic now and if you have magic.... I magic some wood that was chopped magically by the last tenet and use fire magic to start it up .... You have a fire instantly. Such a wonderful house.
