Summary. Rose does her job

Rose was doing her tour of the manor with the cleaning supplies and keeping an eye out for signs telling her the inhabitant wanted his/her room cleaned. On Mr. von Arcon's door she found one, so she got out the spare keys. Before she tried the lock though, she knocked quietly, just in case Mr. von Arcon was home...

Rose took a look at the folder.

"That looks like quite a bit of information you already gathered. I hope it's helpful for your research."

She thought about his words for a moment and realized that she still didn't really understand what exactly he was looking for.

"What type of anomalies in climate and population development are you looking for? Or rather, what is considered an anomaly?"

"An anomaly is everything that is different from what would normally be expected to happen," Atlan explained patiently. "In this case, patterns are too even. The population has remained near constant for decades. The weather has not shown any unusual peaks in at least the same time. All winters are cold, with a good amount of snow. All summers are hot and dry, with the occasional heat storm. There has not been a rainy summer or a winter too warm for anything but slush in a long time, when everywhere else, it has."

He emphasized the last with a gesture.

"That, my dear, I call an anomaly."

Well, that sounded somewhat interesting. Weather was important to her people as well, seeing as they had a farm and lots of sheep...

"What are possible reasons for such an anomaly? Can it happen anywhere?"

[kristallprinz]

While Atlan doubted that the girl would understand the finer details, he gladly answered her questions.

"Anomalies can happen anywhere, yes. A lot more research will be needed to determine possible reasons."

He paused, thinking of a possible reason for her to ask such a question. "Have you observed something... out of the ordinary? Anything you would like to tell me about?"

[roseheerkens]

Rose shook her head in answer to the question.

"No, I haven't. But if I do, I'll tell you about it."

She swept her gaze over the room, to see if she'd forgotten to clean anywhere but it didn't look like it.

"I'm done in here, Mr. von Arcon, I'll just put the sign back on the inside handle. Do you need anything else?"

[kristallprinz]

"No, thank you," he said politely, waiting for her to leave now that she had finished cleaning. He did not expect her to actually find any anomalies - after all, she was just the cleaning girls - , but if she did it couldn't hurt if she reported them.

[roseheerkens]

"Then I wish you a nice day, Mr. von Arcon."

With a friendly smile she gathered up her cleaning supplies and left the room, carefully closing the door from the outside.
