Speaking of which, she looked down at the Chocolate Frogs that she had picked up for Lux and winced. "Looks like I'm going to have to get a few more frogs- I don't want to give broken ones to Cucumber," she said with a soft laugh.
"It's alright, I've got it," she assured him, taking a step back so that he wouldn't inadvertently discover what she had picked up for him. That would just spoil the surprise completely.
"So... this is amazing, isn't it?" she said, figuring she would direct the attention AWAY from what was in her arms. "There are some candies here that I've never heard of!"
Sander wondered why Tessa had taken a step from him. Maybe it was to give him more room...not that he needed it. So he took a step forward closer to her, while trying to keep his hand still hidden behind his back...which was now beginning to ache, because it wasn't used to being held behind his back for long periods.
.....to make matters worse it was beginning to grow numb!! Loss of blood circulation!! Sander knew that if he didn't move his hand anytime soon, all the gifts he was planning to get Tessa would eventually end up on the floor because his fingers would be too numb to hold them.
So he moved closer to a shelf laden with candy, hoping that he could drop what he was holding into one of the containers there, without Tessa noticing he was doing so.
"
Me too. I haven't seen some of the candy before either. I wonder whether the cockroach clusters actually contains cockroach." he pointed out to Tessa.
