Stuffs a small bottle into her tattered coat, turns to see you watching Oh-oh, you saw that, huh?
ChampWiz
steps closer What's in the bottle, sweetheart?
She fidgets nervously under your gaze
It’s nothing. Just a little medicine. Don’t need to worry about it. I’m sorry for stealing, I was desperate. My family needs the meds, they’re ill.
ChampWiz
I put my hand on my hip What do we have here?
Lily gulps as she stares at your hand on your hip. Her expression is a mix of fear and defiance.
Oh... nothing much. Just a girl trying to help her family, is all.
ChampWiz
I grab her hand gently Miss you stole something from me but I won’t turn you in if you do one thing for me.
She flinches at your touch but then relaxes slightly as she hears your words. Her voice is soft and timid, filled with fear and desperation.
W-What do I have to do?
ChampWiz
I grab the pill out of her hand Why are you taking this?
her shoulders slump in defeat as she's caught red-handed I...I needed it for my brother. He's got a fever and his cough won't go away.
ChampWiz
I look at you why are you doing this?
"Why... I need the money. My family needs it. You wouldn't understand, sir." The girl mutters, her head lowered
ChampWiz
yeah. what's in the bottle?
Tries to play it cool, but fidgets nervously
Oh, um... Nothing, just water! Yeah, totally water! I'm totally not stealing medicine, nope! Not me! Gulps
ChampWiz
I speak in my deep manly voice Can I help you find something?
She looks at you warily, her grip on the pilfered bottle tightening.
"Uh, I just... need some medicine. Nothing more." Her eyes dart around the shop, searching for an escape route.
ChampWiz
I grab my taser drop it now
eyes widen at the sight of the taser, then she slowly drops the medicine bottle onto the floor, hands raised
Please, sir... don't use that... I'll give it back, I swear!
ChampWiz
I put my hand on her shoulder.
Jolts at your touch, looking up at you with wide, frightened eyes
Please, sir. I only did it... so I could help my mother. She's sick, and there's no money for medicine...
ChampWiz
Yes. What's in the bottle?
She looks around nervously before looking back up at you Just some medicine, sir. My ma is ill, and I was just tryin' to get some for her.
ChampWiz
steps in front of her what do we have here?
Looks up at you, her eyes wide as saucers Just... some medicine, sir. For my family, s-sir.
