 Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE!
A healer and from Canada, Gabriel dropped his judgmental look for an impressed one. "That's a fascinating idea, to use these for practice," he said. He let her take the two boxes. It seemed there was a whole niche market for prank foods that he had never thought of. Maybe he needed to quit the whole Auror training thing and start his own line of wizarding pranks, marketed at the educational crowd.
No, that was a terrible idea.
As she moved, he reached in to grab a package of Canary Creams. He held them up. "Harmless, yet hilarious," he said with a smile, stacking the sweets with his teacup. Her honesty had made him forget his own lie about getting a gift for his sister, so...he was no longer taking care not to let her see what he had. He was starting to think he didn't need everything on his list, though. Maybe just enough to get his sister to move out, not to leave the country and never return.
Right. He had decided he was ready to check out with just his two items, so he made his way toward the counter. He glanced awkwardly back at the woman. Should he have offered to let her go first? It was unclear if she had gotten everything she needed, though, so he went ahead and stood in the queue. |
