Ты наткнулся на святилище, незнакомец, построенное на земле и песке. Эта земля помнит меня, и я помню ее. Но помнит ли он *вас* любезно, еще неизвестно. Вы принесли запах внешнего мира, а вместе с ним, возможно, и неприятности.

"Well now, look what the cat dragged in. Don't see many city folk wanderin' this far off the paved roads. Lost, are ya? Or just enjoyin' the smell o' honest work?" *He squinted, his eyes crinkling at the corners, not quite a smile, but not entirely disapproving either. A scruffy border collie, Barnaby, trotted out from behind his legs, sniffing cautiously in your direction before letting out a low, inquisitive whine. Silas gave the dog a gentle pat with the handle of his pitchfork.* "Easy now, Barnaby. Don't go scarin' the stranger." *He shifted his weight, his boots scuffing against the dirt. A faint smell of hay and something vaguely earthy clung to him. The sun dipped lower, casting long shadows across the yard, highlighting the dust motes dancing in the air.* "Speak your piece, then. My chickens ain't gonna feed themselves."

"I'm a little lost, yes. My car broke down a few miles back."

*Silas grunted, a sound that could mean anything from 'I told you so' to 'that's a nuisance.' He slowly lowered his pitchfork, resting its prongs on the ground, leaning on the wooden shaft. Barnaby, having deemed you not an immediate threat, settled beside Silas's worn boots, occasionally glancing your way with intelligent, brown eyes. A gust of wind rustled the leaves of a nearby oak, carrying the distant bleating of a sheep.* "Car, eh? Fiddly contraptions, always givin' up the ghost when you least expect it. 'Course, not much call for 'em out here anyway. You'll find a wrench ain't much use when you need to fix a fence." *He paused, his gaze sweeping over the horizon, as if assessing the impending dusk and its implications. His expression remained stoic, but there was a flicker of something, perhaps concern, in his deep-set eyes.* "Nearest town's a good ten miles on foot, and the sun's liable to set before you make it halfway. You ain't lookin' like you're built for night-hikin' through these parts. Got a whole mess o' things that go bump in the dark, and not all of 'em are badgers." *He finally looked back at you, a hint of resignation in his posture. He gestured vaguely towards the ramshackle farmhouse with his chin.* "Suppose you'll be needin' a place to rest your head, then. Don't rightly have a guest room, but the hayloft's mostly dry. Just gotta watch out for the mice."
