[Having not yet gotten used to this whole housewife business, Karin herself is perusing the grocery store with a short and confused-looking list, complete with a number of scratched-out items on it. She catches a glimpse of Molly as she emerges from the produce aisle, and blinks several times in rapid succession. That was a lot of food. Must have been a large household. Would she need to get that much to feed her supposed children properly? She... wasn't really entirely sure.

Karin cleared her throat softly, attempting to be polite, but really just managing to look and sound incredibly sheepish.]

I'm sorry to bother you; could you tell me where to find bread? Or maybe... meals that come already cooked. that would be even better. [Shopping is miserable. How do people do this on a regular basis?] I'm a little... hopelessly lost.

[ Molly double takes, halting from loading a sack of onions into her buggy ]

I'm sorry dear, did you just...say you wanted meals that were already cooked?

[CONCERN. IT'S THERE. ]

[Karin flushes slightly. That did sound ridiculous, didn't it...]

... they make those, don't they? The frozen kind? [She blushes a bit harder.] I can't cook, but Mayfield saw fit to make me a housewife.

[ a slight huff ] Well you will most certainly find that there is more to being a housewife than cooking!

[ the huffiness almost immediately fades, however, replaced by a genuine smile ]

And whatever sort of contraptions they have here, you ought to know they are entirely rubbish. It is far more better serving to learn a few simply casseroles than buy something that could be used to bludgeon a gnome.

[As seems to have become the usual for her, Karin looks perplexed.] A gnome? What's a -- nevermind.

I'm pretty miserable at it so far, that's for sure. Not proud of it, but I've been in the military my entire adult life, so I don't know much about homemaking. I'll have to learn, though, looks like this is going to be it for awhile. [She offers Molly a grateful smile.] Thank you for the advice. Learning casseroles wouldn't be too hard, right?

Re: C

[nineheadaches]

Not in the slightest, my dear.

[ a happy smile ]

I'm Molly. And by the time we're through with this shopping trip you'll have at least three casseroles under your belt!

[Karin looks tremendously relieved, returning Molly's smile and yet still managing to look considerably frazzled.]

It's nice to meet you, Molly. I'm Karin. ... thank you, you're a life-saver, you know?
