"It's too busy to go back for a second basket... but why not use one half of mine so that you have a spare hand..." She looked back at his ink-filled arms again and gave him a sweet smile. "And we can get a basket as soon as we both have the inks we need."

Nodding, she held the basket out in her right hand. "I'm Billie." Y'know. In case he didn't want to talk to a stranger. He had her name, so she was no longer a stranger. Someone new, sure, but not a stranger. With her left hand, she stretched to pick up a bottle of red ink first.

Having been knocked over by worse ~~looking~~ things than this lady, William responded to the lady's apology as a little less grumpy than he normally would. Plus, she actually had a useful idea to help him. Finally, someone useful in this establishment.

"Thanks," he replied quietly, more or less dropping half of his armful into her basket without further ado. It was a clumsy move, but he was relieved to have full movement of his arms back. He was realizing now what an idiot he'd been not to pick up a basket at the door. Wait, did she say her name was Billie? William eyed her for that, ever suspicious of being pranked by strangers. His name was also Billy, although he never ever went by that variation. "I'm William." So, hello, stranger, and thanks for your help. "Who are you shopping for?" he added, curious to see what she was here for with that red ink; probably her kids, no doubt.
