Yes. Please spare all from observing you romping and splashing around in the fountain, David Truebridge. There was a certain guarantee that one Valerie Gray was very much likely to have turned heel and left with such a spectacle. She only had so much tolerance for shenanigans and dealing with customers had her teetering dangerously towards her limit.
There was a inexplicable hesitation as the white rose came officially into the frame of her gaze but she did ultimately reach for it and gingerly plucked it from his fingers. "Thank you." She was rarely ever gifted flowers, or gifts in general, so the gesture alone was perplexing though no less appreciated. Even if it felt unnecessary. "Of course." It was not the plants' fault that David had just-so-happened to be snatched up by merpeople. The wrong place at the wrong time, truly unlucky. "Your name appearing in the Daily Prophet was a firm confirmation," Valerie explained casually, though also with a hint of cheekiness. She could have offered more intimate explanations, such as him not stopping by the shop to restock on certain supplies (such as the fertilizer tucked against her chest), and it would have likely appeased that earnest twinkle to his eyes. The usual cut and dry Valerie Gray was what he received, however.
"This is for you." The fertilizer with a bow, which she now offered to him. Perhaps the allusion to his absence in shop would satisfy his curious twinkle further.
