The two return to where the dice were kicked and search under the shelves, but the dice are nowhere to be seen. After a few minutes panic starts to set in.
"They have to be here thomewhere. Keep looking."
"No find," Laura replies as she bursts into tears.
Kaitlin looks around nervously. A crying toddler in a store is going to attract unwanted attention. Spotting a children's play area outside, Kaitlin leads Laura over there. Shortly after arriving, the two draw one dad's attention.
"Hi is your little sister alright?"
"Yeth, we juth loth her pathifier."
The man reaches into his diaper bag and produces a pacifier. He hands it over to Kaitlin, who sticks it in the crying toddler's mouth. Laura's eyes widen in shock as she starts sucking on the object.
"Thank you thir."
"You're very welcome."
The man walks away and Laura glares at Kaitlin. She can't will herself to remove the object to speak though.
"Don't look at me like that. I didn't have a choithe. If you weren't crying like a baby that wouldn't have happened."
