Raphael's scent and his footsteps announced his presence to Rose even before she saw him. Her friend's arrival made her smile happily. She could also smell a dog and a stranger and was already curious. It looked like Raphael knew the stranger, liked him.

"Hello and welcome, sir. Hello Raphael."

Her eyes went to Raphael and then back to the stranger. She'd have to get to know the source of the dog scent later, now it looked like she had work to do.

"My name is Rose Heerkens, how can I be of assistance?"
