Oh. He knew her too? She was friends with...someone. The Gryffindor quickly wracked her brain for someone who would fit the description of "little ray of sunshine"...but of course, inconveniently, she couldn't properly think of every single person she was friends with off the top of her head. Especially not with this extremely happy guy pointing at her.
That didn't matter though because he was buying three now! Cool! Thank Merlin she was friends with- Whoa!
Blink. He was hugging her. Was this normal?
Penelope awkwardly patted the guy's back a couple times, not really sure what else to do. "Um...yeah. Friends with your...little ray of sunshine. Yeah, she's cool." She was assuming it was a she, at least.. Because...would a dad really call his son little ray of sunshine? "Um. And three jars will be nine galleons." And hugs weren't necessary but...appreciated? Sure.
Aw, wasn't she just precious! So surprised by his gesture of kindness. Why, he was sure that his little sparkling apple pie had given the girl countless hugs. He was simply keeping the Hollingberry tradition alive since clearly his little sunspot was not here now.
"Yes. My little ray of suuuuuuuuunshine," he said while giving her a little squeeze and then letting the young lady go. "She told me that you were one of her favorite people to give cookies to." Which was really saying something considering just how many cookies the child gave out. "AND OH! BEFORE I FORGET! BLESS YOUR LOVELY SOUL FOR GIVING HER COOKIES! BLESS YOU CHILD!"
And another hug was given. A bigger one too. Possibly picked her up just a tad.
"9 it is," he chimed as he handed over the appropriate amount of coins. SPOILER!!: you two Claws :3

How much are you willing to spend?" She asked kindly. "After all it does go to a good cause - and" she leaned in and whispered "maybe we won't need to pay to enter the common rooms anymore?" She offered with a shrug.
She was just letting her know things had gotten bad. "But still because you are the raining cooking baking champion in the history of Hogwarts I'd say maybe five galleons and you get two jars?" She offered with a bright smile. It was kurumi after all.

The Sixth year smirked a bit and wasted no time as she quickly packed the jar of six Ashwinder eggs into a paper bag. She even had paper bags, what do you know? She had secured those beforehand because she wanted everything to be all business-y. She was even ready to go a receipt if her customers asked for one. Hehe. "Here you go, Kurumi." Beezus handed the paper bag to the former Gryffindor. "That will be four galleons." But if she wanted to add another galleon because she was impressed with Beezus' convincing powers, then she was more than welcome to do so.
Any more customers out there? The Castell still had more jars to sell.
Kurumi began to squirm uncomfortably just a bit. She didn't want to disappoint either of the two, but she only had so many galleons she could spend. Thankfully Jory took her attention away for a bit. "
Glad to see you are doing well," she giggled. Almost too well. Had he always been this happy? And then her features were overcome with a rosy hue. "
We are good," she managed to squeak out. "
Lewis has classes today so he couldn't make it, but he told me to say hello to everyone." So hello, Jory. From Lewis.
And now she was back to her dilemma. Mika WAS offering her a great deal, but the issue wasn't how many eggs, it was the galleons. Yes, she WAS getting more eggs for her money...but...and then Beezus was offering her and practically already selling her eggs for 40 galleons.
She hated confrontation. SO much.
"
Mika, I appreciate it, I really do....but I can't let you sell me two jars for that price...." Especially considering what they usually went for. It was sort of counterproductive in her mind in terms of profits. "
....sorry....."
And since Beezus had practically gift wrapped her jar, Kurumi handed over the 4 galleons somewhat timidly.
