Bell finds the bar when she is eight-almost-nine, in the shed in the back, and she grabs up her seashells - she can reach the bag by the shed door and the one by the back door of the house, her arms are getting longer - and drags them in after her.
She drags them all the way to her room, and locks the door behind her when she lets herself back out, and then she collects a mop from behind the bar and starts earning that room. She's not really sure how it works - so much time passes between visits and yet the room always waits for her. But she supposes that paying people for things in Milliways has to work the way Milliways works. She does an amount of cleaning whenever she's there and this secures her a space to stash her things.
Mop, mop.

"Right now? No, I'm sorry," she apologizes. "I wouldn't have enough magic for the spell. I have little to work with. Even when I've recovered, I doubt I could do much else, though I can try - finding spells are what I'm good at. I was never talented at magical attacks or protections."

Bell nods.
"Do..." She pockets the pebble and shifts her weight awkwardly. "Did you mean it about buying me more meals, because Bar will let you put money on a tab for me."

"Yes," says Lynn. "I can pay some, but I do occasionally need to use it, so I wouldn't be able to pay everything I had."

Bell nods. "I don't run up a debt because I'm worried the door won't come back if I do, but some people do it," she adds, "and I never heard of anybody having anything worse than not getting doors happen, if they do run up tabs and not pay them."

"That makes sense. I'll give you money to put on your tab, since it's usually of little use to me, and then I'll pay off my own. If I never get a door again," Lynn points out, "I would hardly be able to help you in the future if you find other allies."
