She fussed with Lex's hair. "You just let me know if you get really desperate. I don't know what I can do that your father can't, but you just let me know, okay?" It didn't sound like Lex was doing too badly, considering she'd made 101 Galleons off just a few jars of Ashwinder eggs. Did she even need Vivi to buy one? "I dunno, baby lion. I don't have much money... I might be able to buy one from you."
Maybe she'd have to buy TWO jars, since Alice was asking too. Good thing she happened to know a Potions Master who would buy them off of her for the full list price, which meant that ACTUALLY... Vivi would be making money out of this scenario. "I'll buy two from you and two from Lex at the best price you're willing to offer. And you should owl that Toussaint woman who taught the seminar last term and see if she'll buy potions ingredients off of you, because you might be able to sell everything left at just slightly less than what the apothecary is selling it for."
"That's true..." She was only sorta paying attention because at the moment she was getting snugglied and these things needed to be done thoroughly so she could remember them in the next few weeks.
"You think he will though? You know, when he does realize?" The idea seemed rather odd to her and she didn't think she would have appreciated Mo if, while trying that daring stunt, dropped her. Not at all.
Lex nodded enthusiastically!!
"Uh-huh! I will! Might need to have another talk with you too but I have to see some stuff first." And there was another, more solemn, nod. Vivi was always a big help, end of story.
And you know, she wouldn't even get upset that the girl could only buy one--did she just say she'd buy two??? Yes! Then she'd be done and could stop and would be able to spend her money!!!! This was the part of the day that she'd been dying for and the candy shop was calling her name even louder.
"You will?!?! I can sell you both jars at 4 galleons each, they're meant to be 5 but I like you! I can make it lower!" BUT ONLY BECAUSE IT WAS
HER, geddit?
