She pointed to the portion of the sign that said “Imported baked goods.“ You want a muffin?” Michiko questioned.

Keysha nodded vigorously.“ A friend of mine got the chance to have one on one of her trips up here. She said they were delicious and I’ve always wanted to try one!”“ Wait, Keysha, you’ve never had a muffin before?” Keysha shook her head.“ I’ve never really had any sweets or baked goods aside from potatoes at all.”

Michiko blinked several times, she looked at Keysha in disbelief. What monster would deprive this adorable amber eyed woman a muffin? She could not continue with finding more information without giving Keysha the opportunity to enjoy a blueberry muffin.“ Well then I guess to the bakery it is.”

The two of them decided to take the back alleys so they would hopefully not run into any more high ranking individuals.“  How about cinnamon rolls, have you had one of those?”

“ What’s a cinnamon roll? It sounds yummy!” Keysha responded with a cheerful tone. But before Michiko could even get a word out, Keysha bumped into someone in the alley way.“ Ah, sorry! I wasn’t watching where I was going, I was too excited about a thing called a cinnamon roll! Please don’t be mad!” Keysha frantically apologized. She was waving her hands around in great big gestures, clearly worried.
