After a few minutes of sitting there I decide to go see how Jill is doing since I finished cooking already.

Outside of the house is again cold so I hurry to the outhouse to see if Jill was done. I do end up calling out to her so that she could also enjoy the stew I made.

"Hey Jill the food is ready. Take a break from heating the bath and eat."

"No it is alright just give me another minute and I'll be done."

"Alright. Do you need any help?"

"No I got it and I can't just ask a guest to help heat the bath water."

"Ok then but would it be alright if I play around with the instruments that are in the guest room?"

"Yes but be careful not to break any of the instruments. Also have to ask but you play also?"

"Why yes I do. I mainly play the guitar but my I sometimes sing to."

"Alright the why don't you play and sing for me and my mom since you prepared a meal for us all. My dad would love you just if you are able to play well enough."

"k will see you inside."

So I end up heading inside the house and go to the guest room and while I was going into the room Jill's mother opens up the front door.

She looks startled to see a person she never met in her house and yells

"HELP THIEF!!!"

Right as she was screaming that she saw Jill coming into the house.

"Jill go out and get help!! NOW!!!"

"MOM!!! THIS IS A GUEST NOT A THIEF!!!"

My ears are beginning to throb now. I begin to wonder if it is a good idea to stay here any longer. While this mother/daughter combo calms down I should go and tune the guitar.

Part 2

I walk into the room and begin to look in the corner I saw the guitar in earlier. I walk over to it and I look at the details of it. The guitar is a six string acoustic guitar with a little age to it but nothing that should ruin the sound of the guitar.

I begin to tune the strings to the right tune for the songs I intend to play. I immediately notice that a few of the strings were slightly out of tune but besides that they were pretty close to being in tune. I then walk out to the mother and daughter to see that they are still arguing about what to do with me.

"-ldn't of just brought a person you don't know in here!!!" Jill's mother said.

"MOM DUSK WAS FREEZING OUTSIDE WITH A COLD!!! YOU AND DAD TOLD ME TO BE KIND TO ANYONE WHO NEEDS HELP!!! I TOLD HIM THAT I WOULD PREPARE A BATH AND SERVE FOOD!!! BUT DUSK EVEN PREPARED FOOD FOR US!!! ISN'T -" Jill was in the middle of ranting at her mom.

"Um sorry is this a good time? If not I could just go back and continue tuning the guitar," I said.

Jill hurriedly looked at her mother then said,"No everything is perfectly alright. We are just getting ready to eat. Right Mom?"

Her mom looked tired as she said,"Alright fine. Lets try the food this novice created. But she better be good at playing that guitar or she is out."

I finally decide that it is time to clear up this mistake that both of them have made about my gender.

"You both realize that I am a man right?"

They look like I just told them that I was actually a rabbit. Then they both tell me at the same time while laughing their butts off.

"Good one Dusk. Thank you for trying to lift up the mood for us."

"But I am actually a 32 year old man."

"Ha ha ha ha very funny Dusk you don't even look like you could be 18 year old woman yet alone a 32 year old man."

In the back of my head I begin to think of ways to get back at these two. But I need to get back to the present.

"Okay lets forget about that for now and how about you two start eating before it gets colder than it is. Also I need to ask Jill why did you tell me to prepare 3 meals when there is only the two of you?"

"Lets just say that you will find out in a bit."

"???"

While being pretty confused I decide just to play songs that I would normally play in the bar back in reality.

But just before I can begin the front door opens and I meet who I can assume is the dad.

The dad looks to be 30 and his hair has already gone completely white. He looks like he has see his share of a hard life. His face has scars all over and he appears to be huge. His eyes are hazel and at the moment he is staring at me with suspicion.

"Who is this lass that is holding my guitar?"

"Uh dad meet Dusk she is a freedman who just arrived and looked to need help so I brought her here. She has prepared dinner for us and was about to begin playing music for us to listen to while we eat."

Again I have been mistaken for a girl and I put on my mental check list to figure out a way to get back at that damn A.I.

"Alright Jill but next time ask me first before you will let someone play my instrument. Also Dusk make sure you don't mess up my guitar or there will be consequences."

While I think about that I decide to pick up the guitar and play.

I apologize for the wait everyone. There has been so many problems that I haven't really been able to write too much. But now I should be more open for the next while. Unless of course something unexpected happens. For the song list just look up on youtube Auld Lang Syne, Another Irish Drinking Song, and The Parting Glass.
