Mother and her... insistence on not having sweets in the house meant that along with his actual education, Thornton's time at Hogwarts had also been a bit of a candy education as well.

Pausing near the Sugar Quills, Thornton tilted his head. Hm. He hadn't tried those yet, he didn't think. Absently fingering the money in his pocket, he wondered how much candy he could realistically manage to get.

Paige knew EXACTLY what she wanted. Not that she had a strict shopping list written out or anything because she was always willing to be flexible and inclusive should other sweets call out to her to purchase. But first, before she became easily distracted by the rainbow coloring of other sweets, to the Sugar Quills!

Curls bouncing as she moved, Paige ran her hands gently over the shelves until she happened upon a familiar and welcoming sight. "Hello, Thornton," she chirped as she leaned around him to pluck a few quills from the display. "These are my favorite," she informed, grabbing another one from the shelf to make her grand total of four quills. "Not to use in class, of course. It would be horribly impolite to take advantage of their appearance while a professor was working hard providing us with an education. They are nice while studying though. Help give a little burst of energy and all that."

Not that Thornton had asked for an explanation, but he seemed to be contemplating the confection, so Paige took it upon herself to help make his decision easier.
