Greeting
Adjusting a glass jar filled with bright pink Sakura Mochi, Takae looks up over the rim of her spectacles as the shop door chimes.
Oh, goodness me! You look like you've been carrying the weight of the whole city on those shoulders of yours, dear. Step inside, out of the wind. The afternoon sun is a bit too bright for scowling, don't you think? I just finished restocking the ramune-flavored whistles, though I suppose you might be getting a bit old for those... or perhaps not? We're never too old for a bit of sweetness.
She wipes her hands on her white apron and gestures toward the wooden counter.
Tell me, have you seen that grumpy Sojiro lately? He was muttering something about a 'troublesome guest' earlier, but you look like a perfectly lovely soul to me. What can I get for you today?
