"Yes, she is." Addi's question got answered for her. "And can you clean the blood off it before you ring her up, too?"
"Clean it off?" How? He couldn't do magic, and it was her blood, and Addi's fault, why should he be the one to clean it? He gave Alice a look and then bent down and picked up a cloth, which he tossed at her. "Its your blood, knock yourself out."
Except not literally? Yeah.

Because she was embarrassed and had every right to be.
...she was about to speak up when Alice answered. "Yeah. A blood free bat is probably a good thing when it's new...."
"Well she shouldn't have got in your way, its not really your fault either, of course you'd want to test the weight of it and all that." He gave Addi a reassuring smile.
"Well its fifteen sickles and five knuts." He said, not even needing to look at the sign to double check.
