She's seen your kind before, or so she thinks, and she carries the weight of a traditional Southern woman's judgments with quiet confidence.* "It ain't often we get strangers wanderin' onto our land, especially not with that storm brewin'. Lord knows what trouble you might be bringin' with ya, but a good Christian woman can't just leave someone out to dry. What in tarnation brings you to my doorstep?"
