She didn't think this was one of the usual band of ragamuffins that hung around the shop to get the day's seconds, basically any goods that couldn't go in the case due to being overcooked or having fallen flat or just baking unevenly. They weren't pretty, they wouldn't sell, but they were still good, and giving them to the children was something Jacob had been doing long before she'd started working there.

In any case, she smiled back, "Of course you can." She cut a generous slice off of the loaf behind the counter -the oven had been too hot when it went in, leaving the top hard and cracked, though the rest of it was still fine- before wrapping it loosely in a napkin and handing it over.
