The clerk behind the cashier in the coffee shop was disgruntled at seeing the two visitors. But seeing that he had to follow the rules, he would simply get the two muffins out of the display. These muffins were just made recently. The clerk then placed them in the paper bag and gave them to Leilanie. "That'll be $4 altogether," The clerk said as he looked at her in the eye, "Say, hold up a minute. You two are not from around here, aren't you? We don't get many new faces around these parts."<br/><br/>"Yeah, we're just visiting," Leilanie said as she took the bag of muffins and pay in return, "You don't look too thrilled about, huh? Maybe it's the business that's been... y'know, slowing down?"<br/><br/>"It's running fine," The clerk huffed as he washed his counter, and not wanting to discuss things any further. Any more of this would made him less happy about it, "I don't know why you cared about it, but that's not the real issue. So please, don't ask me anymore questions. I got business to run."<br/><br/>"You don't have to be rude about it." Leilanie was miffed at the clerk's attitude, then head towards the table and sat down with Alice, "I guess the bus driver wasn't joking. Some people are not that happy about visitors coming here."<br/><br/>"Weren't these people here supposed to be kind?" Alice asked Leilanie about the people around town, "Some of them seemed scared and miffed... Maybe your cousin may be affected too? It's just a hunch."<br/><br/>"I hope not," Leilanie shrugged and sighed back at Alice, "You don't want to know what happens if he's paranoid. Let's just say that there's that one time a spider appears in his shower. Guess how he resolves that issue? Go on, take a guess." Alice did not answer, but she assumed that it involved squashing it with his bare heands. Leilanie answered the question for Alice regardless of her silence. "He picked up a shotgun and tried to destroy it. Yup. Takes his reaction level up to eleven."
