It hadn't taken Mary long to get acclimated to the idea of living in another world. She had, after all, been to several places far more unusual than this. The idea of fighting was still utterly distasteful but that would be sorted in time, she was sure.
For the time being she had much to learn about her new surroundings. She decided to pay the shops in town a visit. It had been a lovely day of browsing and meeting the locals. Of course she'd made a few small purchases for herself, including a lovely new pair of gloves. It was getting late and she really should be heading back to her flat. But a reflection caught her eye.

How incredibly rude of you."
