@APuppetMan + sleeves with a champagne colored silk blouse beneath, and charcoal slacks, dangerous looking black stilettos in the gravel. Definitely straight from work.
"I'm not sure how conducive your father's business is to childish disappearances, but I thought I'd offer."
She might be waltzing up to the Carpenter's shop for no other reason than because she saw a certain motorcycle is parked outside, and she hasn't talked to @APuppetMan in a while...
And she heard gossip that's irked her territorial nature.
@APuppetMan "Oh, I'm /very/ busy," she reassured him, a mischievous glint to her eyes and a smirk to match. "But I've missed you. Quiet day at the shop, so I thought I'd offer to come and steal you away. Abscond, even."

She is up late in the shop, finishing an inventory of a new shipment if antique books, because one of them is one of her old magic books, sold during The Curse as a fucking PROP to some Hollywood movie maker, and she's only just managed to get it back. Bastards.
@MegaSausageHead@Ms_H_Survivor Not explicitly? But a lot of the standards are worded in such a way to make it harder. Single parents aren't allowed to adopt in some places too.

Or all the people that only want babies and not kids/youth, to where we steal them from abroad.
@Ms_H_Survivor And that's your experience and opinion which, while valid, isn't universal. "Just deal with it and don't make it someone else's problem" is hardly sympathetic.
