[ He's lucky that she's off kilter, thrown off by a surprise line of questioning that she hadn't been prepared for and left with a mess by someone who appeared to have a worse work ethic than her. Hilda knew that the box full of supplies she had stored here was somewhere and had they not been moved, she probably would have been able to locate what she needed in a heartbeat.
Her eyes scan the various boxes along the shelves to be met with what she already knows isn't there which means it has to be somewhere on the ground. The items she knows are in the box aren't laid out neatly on the floor which means they still had to be in one place. ...Unless whoever had done this had already moved them into a different box. Another frustrated sigh exits her mouth as she bends down to sift through the boxes on the ground.
Eventually her search is rewarded and her eyes light up when she spots the box. A quick check confirms that it's indeed hers with everything she had been looking for and she hefts it up, readying to leave. Striding towards the door, she does a double take when she realizes that there's a figure standing in one of the aisles. At first it doesn't register that it's Claude, but when that fact does settle in it brings her to a halt and her hackles start to raise.
Before she can help herself or come up with something remotely civil she calls out – ]

What was that about leaving each other alone?
