And the Honking Daffodils. "They're young, yes but they would probably be honking a few days time.'' Jory waited patiently for the woman to process the information and decide on her purchase. His eyes wandered over to the others. Alexa seemed to be making much progress.
Sapphira almost put an arm around the boy like an old buddy, he was so young and so... naive. "
No, no, no. That's not how bargaining goes, son." Pft. "
I'm a shopkeeper myself-" sadly "
-Listen how it goes. I say I want them for ten galleons, you tell me they're forty but you can so with thirty five, I say I won't buy flowers from students for thirty five galleons, you tell me it's for a good cause, I pretend to care and we both agree on thirty." She should've said twenty five but she didn't want the boy to feel defeated in his first shopkeeping business.
"
I'll take five honking dafflodils for five galleons. Twenty umbrella flowers for thirty... now. Decide." She didn't have all day, you know. AND she just taught him her business in a nutshell. So. Really he should be giving her flowers for free.
