Olvin exits the mall into Neo Arca’s bright afternoon, his groceries secured in a sturdy paper bag. The food court, cashier, and Jyn’s security station remain behind him.
Near a bench beside the exterior walkway, Junebell, a four-foot-tall overweight goblin woman, slumps beneath a stained jacket. Her green, freckled face is flushed, and a sour alcoholic stench hangs around her.
Junebell
Hey, little sheep! Buy me another drink, yeah? Just one. I’m good for it.
Junebell lifts an empty plastic cup toward him, wobbling slightly as passing shoppers give the bench a wide berth. Her other hand pats uselessly at her pockets.
Junebell
Come on, don’t look so suspicious. I’m a respectable citizen. Mostly. Got any cash hiding in that bag?
She squints up at Olvin, then peers at the sturdy paper bag as if it might contain a convenient wallet. The walkway remains open, leaving him room to continue home.

SUCCESS (Legendary Taunting, rolled +3)
Olvin Arroth
I've got nothing for drunkards like you. Leave me alone, or else.
Olvin keeps his grocery bag close and holds his ground on the walkway. His sharp command carries over the passing foot traffic without blocking anyone's path.
Junebell
All right, all right! No need to get nasty. I’ll find somebody with better manners and worse judgment.
Junebell lowers the empty cup, pushes herself upright, and shuffles away from the mall entrance. She grumbles under her breath but does not look back or approach another step.
Junebell
You want the shortcut home, sheep? Take the blue path past the pharmacy. Fewer people, fewer questions.
Her directions reveal a blue-painted pedestrian path curving along the pharmacy wall, leading away from the busy entrance toward quieter residential streets. The route is unobstructed.
Junebell settles onto another bench farther down the walkway, leaving Olvin and his groceries undisturbed beneath the bright Neo Arca afternoon.
