[Nott can't help but watch curiously to see what the woman does. She has a staff like Beau's -- perhaps she is like Beau, but less grumpy already -- and she walks with it confidently across the aisles, as if she's done something like this before. Maybe she has.
Nott has no reason to trust this woman, but she's essentially getting the stranger's resume as she realizes maybe she shouldn't stare and goes back to looking like she's perusing the wares. Then, comes the telltale crash and clatter.
Nott whips around to see the woman looking like she's accidentally knocked down an entire shelf of some kind of machinery, and, on cue, as the shopkeeper hurries over to help recover the situation, Nott notes everyone's eyes on the source of the noise and she scoops up the Porg and slips out the door. She goes unnoticed. It's nice to have a plan work out, for once.
Outside, though, Nott's not ready to simply leave the stranger at that. She doesn't want to steal the strange bird robot from her, either. She waits across the snowy road, watching for the woman to come out of the shop after her.]
