Sasara Kusugawa bent down to wipe up the spilled cream, being careful not to let the frilly apron touch and soak up any of it. When she straightened up, she turned around and smiled at the old man. The old man, our boss, Master Ernst Von Groaner cupped his stiff leathery mitts around hers and thanked Sasara for cleaning up the spill his clumsy hands had made.
