Generate for me a description of a suspenseful scene outside a town shop with jewelry, a halfling, and a child.
assistant
Long shadows creep out from under shop awnings, and mud-covered ice is pushed into mounds on either side of the packing-crate pavement. A halfling merchant holds up two pieces of jewelry to a potential customer, who offers an ivory dagger in exchange. The wary merchant keeps a close eye on the customer's small child, who keeps trying to enter the shop without supervision.
