His mind worked quickly as he did mental math and then he looked up at Lexa and her father. "That'll be fifteen Sickles, please." Really, kid? That was all. Well...she should come by next time without her father and leave all her Galleons here. Heeeh!
Alexa's eyes went wide when she heard it say it only added up to 15 sickles.
15? Seriously?! Well that wouldn't do! Her father always bought her a galleon's worth of candy so what was all this rubbish about 15 little sickles.
She flashed around to look her father in the face.
"See Daddy we still have space for tonnes more candy!!! Daddy please! The train will come soon then I won't be able to come here to buy moooooooooore!" She whined, now turning so she could cling to him. Glancing back at the counter the amount she had suddenly seemed smaller and much less adequate.
Michael looked down at his daughter, clearly unamused. Hadn't he taught her anything about the value of money? She should have been glad that she had gotten so much candy without wasting too much of it. He wouldn't always be there for her with his money so she needed to start thinking more responsibly. "Lex, that's enough--" Looking down at her adorable little face caused him to rethink that. He sighed. "Oh alright fine, what else do you want?"
She grinned up at him. Yay.
