"It's probably my chocolate pyramids." He wasn't originally going to open up the box there and then before Merlin and everyone in the Great Hall. But, after considering the free advertising this was, he thought better of doing so. Cutty rattled the box and pressed his ear near to it to tease Beverly Wayne. "Or the Rainbow Serpent gums. Could even be..." He remained looking down upon the package as one hand flipped open one side of it's wrapping. "...Chocolate Sphinxes."
The still roundish fingers on his other hand inched up and flipped open the other wrapped side of the package. Reaching a hand into the opened side, Cutty pulled out the colourful box and removed the lid. Two out of three wasn't bad. The Egyptian chocolates, along with nougat and pistachio squares were evident. "Oh! Oh, you've got to be careful when opening up these things." He said rattling one of the chocolate Sphinxes, still in it's packaging. "If yer not quick, they'll fly away from you." And it gave on the sense of being a hunter.
"Bev, you understand mooney." He made this assumption as he lined up each of the sweets one by one for her to view clearly. "How much do you think I should be selling these fer?"
Beverly raised an eyebrow when he rattled the box then pressed it to his ear. She was cool and collected, but on the inside she wished he'd just dump the items on the table and let her get a look at them.
Oh...Rainbow Serpent gums...or Chocolate Sphinxes?
She...may be interested. Was he selling still? She had a few jewelry pieces on her person. Though, the silver band with little charms dangling of it on her left wrist was off limits. It was new, and for the first time she wasn't showing it off to Cutty Mordaunt.
Her eyes were on the Chocolate Sphinxes as he warned her about it. "Then I'd like those," she said, a glint in her eyes. It'd be a nice prank in the girls' dorms. Set off a bunch of flying Chocolate Sphinxes. Ha! Poor dorm mates.
Oh, he wanted to talk about money. Beverly shrugged a shoulder, along with a nod. She didn't care about money. It was the last, LAST thing on her mind. Actually, she couldn't even remember the last time she thought about money. She simply got what she wanted. But this was not just any money talk. It was business talk. Beverly Wayne liked business.
Pursing her lips and walking her fingers over each sweet in turn, she asked, "How much did they cost you? Because you don't want to sell them too cheap that it won't cover your original cost." Or too high or no one would buy, but she had a feeling Cutty knew that.
