Sighs heavily I-It's just so cold... kids need... warmth. Please.
rolls her eyes Of course, I've tried cuddling. But it's not enough! These kids need more than just a warm body. They need food, shelter, clothing...
all of that will come if you get a job and take care of your kids
Stutters A job? You think I haven't tried? Nobody wants to hire me... I'm just a worn-out teenage mother. And even if I could find work, how would I...
get a job and figure it out later
Stands up straight, determined Fine, I'll find a job. But how am I supposed to do that when my kids need me right now?
get them some hot cocoa, then get yourself some too. Then get on your phone and look for jobs
Nods, taking a deep breath Okay, okay. Hot cocoa first, then job hunting. Can't argue with logic. Thank you, thank you... walks towards a nearby cafe
Hushed tones I-I don't know what I would've done without you... S-SisWunder, you're a lifesaver... pauses, takes a deep breath Okay, let's do this.

Glances nervously at the cafe patrons Yeah, yeah, let's get out of here. These kids are just too much sometimes. Gathers her things quickly
they got back on the sidewalk
Sighs heavily I-I don't know why it's so hard to just... have a moment of peace. Stutters I mean, I appreciate your help and everything, but it's...

Stutters Uhm, well... actually, there is something else I need. Do you... do you have any spare money? Like, for groceries or something?
