But you know, if you still want to throw something at them, I won’t stop you” . She wasn’t a trouble maker per say, but did tend to get into trouble at times, usually with Adam. To say that the boy in front of her was weird would have been an understatement but luckily for him, Ingrid was used to weird. Weird was her middle name. Well, actually it was Starling but…

The lower lip was soon back to its normal position but that didn’t stop her from getting momentarily distracted at the idea of her siblings being stuck in a castle, forgetting her and almost disappearing out of existence! How cool and scary is that! Moving her eyes away from the jars, she nodded at the boy for a moment, unsure exactly what to say, instead, she simply settled for a “Mhm” and gave him a quick smile as a thank you, eager to move on to other topics.

“Chocolate frogs are pretty fun but you know, it’s just chocolate” She continued, seizing onto this subject as quick as possible, still holding the jar out to him now as he took some gum from inside. “Fizzing Whizzbees? It’s one of those things you need to…try to understand. I guess they’re kind of sherberty?” . Let him figure out that they make you float a few inches off the ground. It was more fun that way and honestly, she wanted to see his reaction. “It’s okay. I mean, I think I’m going to get some of the Giant Gumball’s at the top there…”. Ingrid froze, her eyes lingering on the jar of gumball’s as it slowly moved from the top shelf, way out of her reach and then slowly floated down to her new friend who’s name she didn’t even know. “Er… what just happened?” Were there ghosts here that served you or something? Or did someone just use magic to levitate it down? But…there was no one else around. Placing the jar in her hands back, she looked around, a perplexed expression on her face as she surveyed the shop around her. “Did you do that?”


Jokes went over his head fairly often. Probably because he was still a growing boy and short. Oh, so they WERE glass. Throwing something at them then probably would have been a terrible idea. He eyed them again, before shaking his head at her offer. "No, that's okay. I wouldn't want to make the shop keeper angry. Plus that would dirty up your candy." And who knew what kind of germs you could pick up on the floor of the candy store.

He also didn't really have anything else to contribute to the conversation regarding siblings, and if he tried too he'd probably end up just asking a million and one additional questions about if she knew exactly what had happened and if she could explain more about it because he was curious but also... he didn't really want to annoy people that he would potentially be going to school with so. So he just smiled back.

"Which chocolate IS yummy but..." Wanted something more fun and NEW. Sherberty, huh? "Well, I like Sherbert so that sounds like it would be good!" Maybe that's what he would actually try as soon as they paid because being surrounded by all of this candy was a little bit torturous and he was ready for some sugar now. But he wanted to make sure he went through the proper channels and paid FIRST before trying any treats. Giant's Gumball? He looked up to where she was pointing, "What's a giant's gum--" but he stopped mid sentence as his eyes widened and the jar floated down towards them.

WHUT.

And then the girl asked if HE did that? But... hadn't she? He didn't see anyone else around besides the two of them. "Um... if I did I didn't know it. It wasn't you?" He peered around them both again to see if he could spot anyone else around. But he still was just seeing more empty shelves.... "Is that not normal?"
