Walking into the home, I was surprised by how neat and clean it was. From the outside you would think that appearance of gloom and simply falling apart by nature's reclamation and this world's horrors would match the inside. Instead, I entered to see lights sustained by some magical means. The glow filled the room showing that everything was completely intact, as though somehow it escaped the terrors and loss that reside outside these walls. The walls around the door were made of pale colored bricks, while the rest of the walls were made of a chocolate colored wood. Small items, which I assume to be things that Sel found during his travels as well items that were already in the home. Newer looking books on wooden bookcases, some stacks of books looking older and more worn sit on the floor near those bookcases.

    There were chairs, tables and other types of furniture that filled the room. A little ways back a small kitchen-like area where various cooking pots inhabit as well a small stone oven. I looked more and saw a stone staircase that I could also assume led to the floors above. If the condition of the home was this pristine, I can only think that the rest of the house would be the same. It surprises me that it looks like this. Even more surprising is that Sel chose to live here. I asked him why he chose here. 

    "Well...as you can see the place is more habitable than the others out there. Of course there might be larger and more ideal places to live and call home, but this is my home. Where I was raised. The place where I could lay my head. This place, I couldn't leave it. I could choose anywhere to go, even leave here for good but I always come here and want to be here." he finishes.

    I understood how he felt. To not leave from the place where you've spent your life or that place where life felt...right. I wish myself to be able to go home, but there is nothing now that I can do. 

    That brief moment after I then realized something that Sel said. He was raised there. If from my understanding of the books I read in the past about living suits of armor, they are brought about by magic. That would lead me to think that they are just what they are and that they are not born or "raised". To me, I wonder what he meant by raised. I asked him.

    "I'm sorry, I-I would rather not discuss this; I do hope you understand." he replied with hesitancy. Of course I left it at that. After all, we had just met and I am a guest in his home. The last thing I would want to do is offend. I explored more of the house, looking at all of the treasures Sel found. Although, I cannot help but still wonder about who Sel truly is.
