Aaron was led to a house all the way to the back end of the village, the residence he was based on had a base right in the middle of this domain.
Apparently the oldest one's house is at the edge of the village so that's where these elders of Footek go to banter, or in this case, 'consult a problem'.
It wasn't much of a walk really, but the distance felt like forever since the talk with these elders can determine the future of Footek, or in a bizarre case, it can determine his future.
Inspired by the recent protests in Hawk city, it wouldn't be a surprise if these villagers mimicked such a procedure. Would make far more sense than half of the village leaving their homes really.
They walked in their house which showed a bigger size, double compared to what Aaron was sleeping in and this one even has two stories.
Richer in all aspects, the stonework that captivated half of the house showed so, but Aaron can't make any quick assumptions here.
