"Gotta protect the merchandise, got it. I betcha got a lot of rowdy clients in a place like that. Did you have bouncers? Anyone to throw out a guy or girl who got too rough with your goods? Or did you just take care of that yourself with your fancy girlfriend-of-a-god powers that you've got?"
She looked around, continuing to admire the place. She picked up a few of the knick knacks and decorations laying around, turning them this way and that to examine them with a critical eye. A few things that would fetch a decent price. When she was done examining each item, she put it back...in the wrong place. Then she picked up a fragile one and started tossing it up and down with one hand like a ball.
