He looked up from the list, confused and momentarily worried his sister was for some reason also here. He let out a sigh of relief when he saw it was a young lady holding a telescope. She apologized, which was nice, but...why was she laughing? He raised an eyebrow at her. Had he just been the victim of a prank? In a prank shop? The nerve. "Now what have I ever done to you?" he asked with a confused smile. More importantly, what was this gadget?
This gadget was a Punching Telescope (1 galleon), as Jina learned when she examined the price tag. If she had held it to her eye first, she would have been punched in the face. Hah, more healing practice for her classmates! It would have been super painful and embarrassing for her, so she was glad to avoid the telescope's assault. Still, she had to admit that this was a brilliant prank idea, which was why she could not hold back her laughter.
"Nothing! I didn't know what this would do, I swear I didn't mean to hurt you!" she quickly returned the item to the shelf and held up her hands in mock surrender.
"Are you okay?"
