"I'd greatly appreciate it if you don't scowl while eating in front of my shop," Grandma Annie said in a reprimanding voice. "You are scaring away my customers."

"I am not scowling," Randolph replied. "I was born with this face."
Grandma Annie chuckled as she sat on the chair beside the Dwarf Smith, who was always looking in the direction of the village's entrance.
