Your new superior, Thranduil. Until his appointment he was living in my home- I need to fill that space again.

( Not the same space, precisely- )

I live quite far from the Gallows and share my home with a child; I need someone in residence who can be useful in a crisis. You'd have the use of my carriage to commute to the Gallows and it wouldn't require much of you except living in the house.

Unless something happens. Obviously.
