When the merchants called out to her and tried to sell her and her friends some stuff, she politely waved to them and said "No thank you!" She raised an eyebrow at how some of the people were avoiding her and her friends. Very skittish. They weren't kidding when they said that the people around her were paranoid now due to the acts of vandalism. When they got to the shop, they were greeted by the statement that the store was closed. She waved her hand, and she stated politely, "Oh no. We're not here to shop or pick something up," 

She continued, "We're here to investigate the vandalism that took place here, and we intend to catch the people responsible for these acts. Would it be alright if we asked you some questions? Or would like for us to come back at a later time?"
