Please, hang on, baby! I promise you, I'll find your daddy! Just please don't give up! Why, gods, why? WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN MEEEEEE?!
[ While some of the shopkeeps may be backing up, there's also a good handful who are just filled to the brim with awkward. Oof. They didn't ask to be a part of this scene!
One of them, at least, clears their throat. ]
Uhhh. Not for nothing, but some of that stuff of mine he took? It is broken...
I see, I see... Please! Allow me to pay for this dear little child! It's all the money I have*, but if it'll pay for this innocent baby's mistake, you can have it all! After all, what's the value of a poor** single mother**, compared to your lost wages?
[ *on her person. Still has plenty back where she's staying. **poor by her uncle scrooge's richest duck ever status. ***single by choice. Her children aren't even here, dammit.
Geez. But at least she does mean she'll pay for the damages, if her shuffling out coins from her pocket means anything. ]
