Content	a day in the countryside How has Enric been doing during the intermission? Enric Porras the-ones-who-wait lux A day in the life of one Enric Porras, currently hiding out in the countryside and living under the name ‘Aspex Arodenius’. The morning starts with a leak in the roof. Someone needs to climb up there and patch it up, and that someone is most definitely the guest. Enric spends the morning cutting away rotten thatch and working in new material to replace it. This would be easier to do if it wasn’t currently raining. Yes, a rainstorm this bad is out of season and probably sent by a god or wizard, but that’s really no excuse for not keeping your house together. Enric knows better than to be rude to his hosts, so he tries to stop being annoyed and instead be glad there’s something he can do to pay them back for letting him stay the night. The early afternoon is spent gathering branches from the closest woods. If he brings them inside the house early enough, they’ll be dry by evening, when it’s time to start a fire. The late afternoon brings a meeting with a foolhardy merchant who, despite the rain turning the roads to mud, tried to get his wagon to the city. Enric joined a handful of other men in struggling to get the wagon un-stuck. The evening sees the wagon finally free, and the merchant join everyone for dinner because there’s no way to make it to the city by nightfall. As payment for the dinner and the help, the merchant is convinced to share a bottle of wine that was supposed to be a gift for some functionary in the city. The night sees the merchant declared the ‘guest of honor’ which means he gets to sleep on the floor near the fire, which was Enric’s spot last night. Enric, meanwhile, joins the merchant’s horse in the barn.
