 be curious, not judgmental
Of course they were de-gnoming. What other purpose would they have with some gnomes? It was an easy enough task, really. It was a regular family ritual at her house, with her mum's extensive garden area. Poor Tobes, he sounded so alarmed at the task - but she knew it was just one of those things had to be done.
The pink and glittery gloves were super stylish and cool, and Sophie almost wished she hadn't brought her own. But she wasn't desperate enough to use them that she'd lie and say she hadn't brought her own and pulled her pair from her bag, sliding them on her hands with ease as she passed into the garden, keeping an eye out for a particularly chunky gnome that would be fun to throw around.
...Maybe she could get Mo or someone to teach her some sort of color-changing charm so she could make her own gloves a fun color later?
