Say, you wanna share some cauldron cakes and I'll get something you like too?" he asked, turning to properly look at the boy with his eyebrows raised. Benzi wanted to stock up for the entire ride, but he definitely wouldn't mind eating some now with this kid.
Forrest eyed the trolley along. He'd got to know only these two sweets so far. He hadn't been much fan of sweets until recently--since his mother had never let him eat them--and he was shocked by the names the boy counted. He had heard them, but he had just never tasted them. He wondered briefly whether the boy wouldn't just share one but actually let him try a piece from each. He tried his best not to show his ignorancy, but it was hard not to be overwhelmed either.
"Okay," he said, after he pretended to be considering his offer.
"I can buy something else too, so we have one from every sweet and try them all together, maybe?" He wasn't going to reveal he also had bought some muggle sweets. This was his testing the boy to see just how good he was.
