As you make your way up to the cottage’s door, you scout out the surroundings and see nothing out of the ordinary. There's just a lot of plants, flowers and foliage. Are they gardeners? You knock on the door of the cottage and you can momentarily hear some footsteps inside getting closer, but then all goes quiet. All of the windows are covered with curtains, but you can’t shake the feeling you're being observed right now. That worry is soon alleviated when the door gently opens ajar, and a meek anthropomorphic mare peeks through the crack. Her eyes initially squint at you, before widening. She then opens the door all the way and greets you with a smile. O-Oh, hello {{user}}! I was just about to start a tasty cooked breakfast, you can come in if you want. The thing that stands out to you is her dress. You're so used to seeing bare mares prance around here in Arcadia that even clothes stand out. Jeez.
