A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

Back to the boy, though. "I like your sunglasses." Etta tried not to be too snoopy about them, but she just always found herself trying to peek at the brands of people's accessories. Kind of hard to tell from this angle. "You make a fair point about the lemon drops, though," she replied, but still Etta was taking what he said as a solid recommendation and so she tossed a few of the lemon drops into her own basket, as well as some chocolate frogs because those looked like a specialty.

She wasn't settling for just chocolate frogs and lemon drops though. "Last sweet-related question. If you could have one other sweet from this shop besides the frogs and the lemon drops, what would it be?" Etta smiled and wiggled her fingers as she waited for another recommendation, albeit an indirect one. Very easy to tell she wasn't from here at all, but she didn't care.
Daniel shifted his gaze away from putting candy in his bag and toward the girl. He'd never met anyone who paid attention to someone's sunglasses before, so this was a new one. ”Thanks. "It's from Gentle Monster" he said as he watched her stuff the lemon drops and chocolate frogs into her basket. Was she copying him? No, she most likely enjoyed the same things. Chocolate frogs were popular. At school, there was an entire trading card club. One that, ironically, he was a part of.

The Hufflepuff thought she was odd, and instead of responding to her question, Daniel looked at her suspiciously. "Why are you asking? Have you never had candy before?" Why was she seeking advice from a stranger? Shouldn't she have figured out at this age which candy she liked and which she didn't?
