Renee pre-emptively chewing out Clinton for lending a helping hand to Brun may have something to do with an uncomfortable incident in Brun's past.
Neko_Ali:
Or an uncomfortable incident in Renee's past. Or general untrustworting nature on her part. Honestly though, if this is Renee from The Secret Bakery, and it probably is... And Brun is the Hanners-analog... Her reaction makes sense. This is exactly how Faye would react if something happened to Hanners, and there was some stranger 'helping' her out. Lack of trust, immediately leaping to over protectiveness and threats. Perhaps Brun will get a job at TSB and we'll start seeing more action happening there, since we've seen less and less of The Coffee of Doom.
Zebediah:
Or, it could just be that Renee is a genuinely unpleasant person.
Mad Cat:
Brün appears to be the kind of person who just doesn't move her lips/mouth a great deal when she speaks. Anyone else noticed this?

--- Quote from: APersonAmI on 31 May 2016, 05:33 ---In my opinion, this is an inappropriate reaction to someone helping your friend when her apartment burnt down. It isn't ironic, because in the situation some of you called back to, Clinton did not yell at or threaten Marten, and while Clinton wasn't nice , it is in no way the equivalent of this scene. In addition, I also do not find it funny, because pointless harassment isn't funny to me.

That's the way some people, mostly women, think; a male stranger (or even acquaintance) is automatically a threat, a potential stalker/rapist/serial killer until proven otherwise beyond the shadow of a doubt. And if Brun (or Renee) had a bad experience with such a person in her past, this would make Renee extra-suspicious of men she doesn't know well. I've been acquainted with such women myself in my life, and they tend to be generally unpleasant to be around, so I avoided them as much as I could.
EDIT: On the other hand, since there's no way to know a helpful stranger's true intentions ahead of time, some degree of caution is warranted when dealing with such strangers. We the readers know Clinton's harmless, but Renee doesn't.
