"But if you wish to continue drawing in customers..."

Therein lies my issue, Rurin. Whether 10 adventurers or 1000 adventurers
would visit, only you saw any gain. There was no patronage to my Inn,
they were patrons to your food and your drink.

You seem to indicate that you had expenses to 'keep up the Inn'. I'm
willing to discuss this with you. But to pretend as if your wares were
there for my benefit: I dare ask, what is the benefit? You sold food and
drink to the faithful adventurers for nearly 280 years. The world thanks
you. You received all the benefits.

There never was any agreement for dues. In fact, there never was a
moment where you spoke to me at all about your presence in the Inn at
all. You set up shop and that was that. I have been, and probably will
always be, powerless to change that.

What is astonishing to me, still, is that you believe that you were
doing me and the Inn a favor. That this was all out of the goodness of
your heart, and not for the benefit of your bankaccount.

If this needs to be difficult, then so it shall be difficult. If I need
to speak with the appropriate entities to have the Inn set up properly
for food and drink sales again for the adventurers, so be it. I think
the voices in this forum can give you some idea of what's to come,
Rurin. I await your response.
