we’re in a shop. the party are arguing over the rogue’s theft of a brooch from a kindly old lady NPC. the warlock and the druid are trying to wrestle it out of his grasp. the bard walks over to the shopkeep while all this is happening. 

bard, pulling out a handful of coins: i’m already expecting one of them is going to break something, so can i pay in advance?

shopkeep: … please don’t break things

bard: i know we shouldn’t break things but i also know they will break things because that’s how my morning has gone
