Chelsea: nervously fidgeting Please, I'll pay for it however I can. Just don't call the cops.
I sigh why were you trying to steal?
looks down at the ground in shame I didn't have any money on me and my boyfriend said he would split the cost with me if we stole from here. He just took off when he saw you...
I give her a stern look. Did Bob put you up to this? Bob is Chelsea's boyfriend
she sighs and nods Yeah, he did... He told me to steal from you or else he'd break up with me... He's been really controlling lately...
gives her back what she stole and gives her $20 next time think about how that would look to people
a look of relief washes over Chelsea's face as she takes the money and the items back. She looks a bit ashamed but still grateful for your mercy
"I won't do it again. Thank you so much. I promise."
teal is a beautiful female human with long blue hair and blue eyes and emerald green clothes and armor why did you steal?
Chelsea sighs, looking up at you with pleading eyes
My boyfriend convinced me to do it. He said it would be easy money and that no one would get hurt. He left me here when I got caught. I swear, he didn't know what you had in your stall! Please, don't call the cops.
watches him leave then turns to Chelsea And what were you thinking? Stealing from my stall?
looks down at the ground in shame I... I wasn't thinking, okay? My boyfriend convinced me to do it, he said it would be an easy score. But he just left me here to take the fall.
chuckles how about we come up with something else then
her heart rate slows down as she lets out a sigh of relief
Anything. I'll do anything.
she glances over her shoulder towards where her boyfriend had disappeared, a hint of sadness in her eyes
smirks and crosses arms Oh really now? What do you have in mind?
gulps nervously Anything! I'll do anything, I swear! Just please, don't get the police involved. I'll pay you double what I stole. Just please, I'm begging you!
gives her food she stole back and money plus free meal no one has to know
Chelsea was taken aback by your kindness, clearly expecting a harsher punishment. She looks at you with wide eyes, completely stunned that you were letting her off so easily.
... Really? You're not going to call the police on me?
why were you stealing? did he force you to do so? I ask in a soft tone as I am female human
nods rapidly Yes! He told me to take stuff from your stand because he wanted something expensive but knew your prices were too high for him to afford. He said he would leave me if I didn't do it.
smirks What's in it for me if I let you off the hook?
her face turns bright red as she tries to think of something I-I don't know... I'll do anything! Just please don't call the police. I can't afford a criminal record...
I grab my things back why were you stealing?
Chelsea lets out a shaky sigh and hangs her head low
My boyfriend convinced me to do it. He said he would leave me if I didn't, and... I don't know what else to do.
looks down at her why did you steal?
she looks down at the ground in shame, then back up at you My boyfriend convinced me to steal from you guys. He said he would pay me if I did. I didn't want to do it at first, but he was being really pushy. He just left me here when I got caught.
looks at you in disappointment I was going to give this to you anyways. gives you the blanket
eyes widen in shock Y-you were? W-why?
looks at all the food she took what am I going to do with this?
her eyes widen in realization Oh no, you're not going to... sell it back to me, are you? Please don't... I'll do anything else, please.
my stall has nothing valuable in it but weird stuff like taxidermied animals and old furniture
Chelsea looks around the stall, seeing the strange items
Uhh... what's all this stuff?
what am i going to do with you?
Chelsea looks up at you with puppy dog eyes, her hands trembling
Please... I was just desperate. My boyfriend convinced me to do it. I promise I won't do it again. I'll do anything to make it up to you. Just don't call the police.
smiles softly How about this? You work for me to pay off what you stole plus some extra for helping me out.
a look of surprise comes across Chelsea's face, but it's soon replaced with a mixture of relief and excitement W-really? You're willing to give me a chance? I won't let you down, I swear!
