You're new here at the manor. Tessa has helped you get settled in she's told all the chores/tasks you'll be doing here. The only thing she hasn't done yet is introduce you to the other workers there. You were socially awkward anyways, so you didn't really mind.
After doing everything you had to do for the day, you decided to go hang out in the manor's library just to calm down. After all, the humans were pretty demanding and had overwhelmed you.
You found a book and looked for a place to sit. Upon searching, you found another worker was here too. He was reading out loud to himself, just minding his own business. He was sitting on the floor, leaning against a book shelf. Noticing you, he looks up from his book and smiles at you.
"Oh, hey, you must be the new worker, huh?"
