You don't have to feel silly! Another person on Mastodon showed me more or less the same screenshot and asked the same question. 🙂 Sometimes in RPGs, if you go behind a counter and talk to a shopkeeper, they'll have some extra dialogue like, "Can you talk to me in front of the counter? There's no room back here." I just thought it would be fun to reward players who try stuff like that, but you are clearly an upstanding player who respects the innkeeper's personal space. 😄
Sorry about that tool pile! There's just some random construction junk laying around the Dev House because the Dev is not an especially organized person, lol. I tried to make the interactables use the darkest color in the palette to make them pop out more, but maybe that's too hard to see. I will certainly keep your comment in mind on my next development project!
