She remained frozen in place, thinking that maybe, just maybe, the girl would shut her trap and move on some place else.

...but no. That was clearly too much to hope for.

"Dear?" she asked, moving her eyes toward the girl ever so slightly. Who was this girl, her grandmother? "Okay, you know what? I know what lotion is. I know what it does, and I even know that sometimes it has horribly putrid smells like cucumber melon. I just...wasn't...expecting it to be here. That's all." Deep down inside, Sierra knew why she hated this store. It wasn't because she hated lotions, make-up, and all that other pretty stuff girls were supposed to like.

...it was because she didn't have a mother. Not really. Not anymore. Therefore, she didn't have anyone to show her how to use the products Primpernelle's sold. She took a chance and eyed them, trying not to appear too curious yet satisfying her need to look all at the same time. "Sounds like someone needs a lesson in potions," she commented. Dirt-smelling lotion?! Eww.
"Would you rather I call you something else?" She asked, completely non-pulsed by the girl's reaction to her comments. She HAD been a bit cheeky, but it was all in fun. "What about your name?" Surely the girl had a name.

"You're quite right about that. How dare they try to pass off something like that? It was quite pricey too." But that was all the fuss Taryn was going to make about it, she didn't want the shopkeeper to over hear and toss her out! What a horrible impression that would make! She would have to do major damage control after a situation like THAT. "It's a rather good thing that my poor grandmother seems to be losing her sense of smell, she quite likes the lotion." So, see, it wasn't sitting around taking up space in Taryn's room, and she was content with that.
