Raylan sauntered in without hesitation, letting Athena catch up to his long legs in a way he hadn't unless he had a purpose, lifting his chin at the cashier in a passing greeting as he picked up a basket and started towards the cold goods.

He'd been more than right; there were two other people in the store, including the cashier. Things were going quiet and fine, eggs and bacon, whipped cream and coffee but their trek towards the register was stopped short by the bell ringing in another customer.

"Raylan!"

Raylan looked over to the short, portly Constable that was already making his way over towards them, all excitement, and put on a smile.

"Heya Bob."

"Hey, you headin' back to Arlo's house? Ain't nothin' gone off in there that I know of, you know that motion sensor?"

Raylan was nodding hhis head. "Yeah Bob, I am. Thanks for lettin' me know. I'd hate to have to walk in on someone squattin'."

Bob adjusted his belt, chest puffed out proudly. "You know I'd never let that happen, Raylan." Finally, Bob's eyes fell on Athena. "And you got a friend with ya! Hi, pleasure to meet you, I'm Bob Sweeney, Harlan Constable," he started, sticking a hand out at her to shake. "Elected and everythin'. Well, no one else was runnin' so I got it by default but it still counts, I'm elected."

Raylan watched with amusement as the cashier ran up their things.

"Bob, this is Athena Parker. She's gonna be stayin' with me while we figure some stuff out."
