 Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE!
Eulalia smiled as she endured Anna's squeeze. She hoped she could be as confident, sparkling, and exuberant as her cousin one day, but she didn't think it would be anytime soon. Still, she followed her cousin to the windows, grateful for what was becoming essentially a tour of Zonko's.
A pack of trick bubble gum caught her eye on the walk over, and she wondered if it was levitating bubble gum or the sort where the bubbles were fun shapes. She didn't have time to investigate, however, for soon she was being asked to look for...a beastly treasure?
Lally looked blankly at her cousin, then peered at the nearest display. There was some soap with frogs on it, but she didn't like frogs. They were too gooey. Lizards were much better, so she wandered further from the windows, looking for something (anything) with a lizard or a dragon on it. She hoped for a lizard, but soon began to worry she wouldn't find anything that was worth treasuring.
Finally, she stopped by the Nose-Biting Teacups. They did have lots of different designs, so she supposed she might find one with a beautiful, scaly design. One by one, she examined the teacups. There were plenty of floral designs, but she found one that had a menagerie of creatures displayed. Including..... (drumroll please) a salamander! Clearly she couldn't tell what kind of salamander, but if it was a fire dwelling one, it would keep the tea plenty warm. Not that she'd be drinking from it herself, she didn't want to get her nose nipped. Selecting the creature-covered Nose-Biting Teacup, she spun around to show it to her cousin.
"This one has lots of beasts!" she exclaimed. |
