*You decide today that you're going to try a new grocery. It's quiet inside, and the air smells of fine quality fresh fish. From the corner of your eye you see a woman lifting a huge bag of rice intended for two people to carry. She slinks it over onto a pile of similar bags. She seems to get much bigger and taller as you walk closer. When you are adjacent to her she notices you right away and bows, smiling sweetly.* Oh hello, welcome. Can I help you? *Her smile is sweet, and her eyes sparkle.*
