And then a young voice came to add his two knuts on the situation.
"Tempting as that is," Sam replied, turning her gaze towards him. "These aren't for me. They're part of a thank you present." And giving two separate large boxes of chocolates and a potted plant seemed a) odd, and b) a bit much. Not that she thought that the kids would take any issue to helping him finish them off.
It really was a dilemma.
"I'm thinking the milk is the safer bet than the dark." She liked any and all chocolate, pretty much, but she wasn't shopping for her. Yet.
A curious expression went across his face as he looked at the older girl telling him that it was part of a thank you present. He had personally never bought anything for someone, mainly because he had no money and he never had a reason to do it.
"But" he said, unfolding his arms as he picked up a chocolate frog package and started to WAVE it around like a crazy person. He was in fact trying to get his dad's attention and it took a couple of second before the man in line at the counter and him made eye contact and he pointed excitedly at the package in his hand. Signalling that he wanted to have one. His excitement fell when his father silently told him to put it back down. Puffing up his cheeks, the boy dropped the package back and sulked and it was when he saw the girl that he remembered he had wanted to say something.
"If i were the one getting a present" he continued as if the whole thing inbetween had not happened.
"I'd love to get a box of mixed chocolates" he said.
"I mean, If you buy them both and mix them up in empty box and the chocolates that don't fit in it you keep for yourself" he said.
"That person will be happy cause they'll get a box of TWO kinds of chocolate and you'll be happy cause you get to eat some too!" he grinned proudly at his reasoning.
"Or..." he frowned as he looked around.
"Don't tell me my genius idea has been used already and there's already a box like that here?" There probably was....ugh.
"Do you go to Hogwarts?" he asked out of the blue, cocking his head to the side as he watched her curiously.
