In Dirk's defense, he's not used to this kind of thing. He's not used to kids just being able to stroll around. He didn't even consider the possibility. So when the girl comes in, Dirk sits up and tries to think about how he was supposed to deal with this.

He wasn't about to make her feel ashamed for winding up in this place. With the look on her face, she clearly seemed just as surprised. Dirk darts away from the counter silently and in the blink of an eye.

He darts around the store just as fast. He tugs product blankets over the kinkier stuff, something he did in the evening when he left the store. Thankfully everything was well organized and it was easy to not interrupt her shopping elsewhere.

Eventually, he appears visibly near the aisle she was in.

"Hey there, chickadee. Checking out the kawaii merch?"
