Competitor: Owen
Round/Fight: Final
Summary: Kel is plagued by a salesman.

“Can I help you, ma’am?”
Keladry Mindelan turned, facing a short, chubby salesman with a mop of unruly curls and hopeful eyes. “No, thank you,” she said politely. “I’m just browsing.”
She turned back, pulling the drawer of a dresser out and inspecting the space inside.
“This one has more surface face,” the man (hardly more than a boy, really) said, gesturing to the one beside it. “Its drawers are deeper, too. You can put more stuff on it and in it.”
“Thank you,” she repeated, patiently, “but I can find what I’m looking for myself.”
“Oh, sure, yeah, of course,” he agreed quickly.
Kel was torn between exasperation and amusement when he still hovered behind her. She stole a glimpse at his name tag: Owen Jesslaw. He caught her looking and beamed at her. She caved.
“Well, Owen,” she said, “does this store deliver?”
