After what felt like an eternity, they finally walked through the door at what Sloane could only describe as a snail’s pace. Still, they’d followed so that was something at least.
Sighing rather loudly, she let out a loud “Fiiiinally!” before hurriedly waking forward and grabbing Zoryn’s hand, she led her away from Faith, straight to the display case, not bothering to greet either of them. Not because she was being rude but because she simply needed to show one of them some of the wands on display and Zoryn was closer. The wands were so old and cool, somewhat like her new mothers guardians. “What do you mean, I look sweaty?” her eyes now on the display case, looking for the wand she wanted to point out to her before they moved to the counter to hopefully get her a wand. Squinting, she leaned closer to the display, her eyes quickly moving from wand to wand, trying to find the really, really cool old one that was on display that she simply loved the look of. Finally, after a minute of murmuring, she turned towards Zoryn and jabbed her finger at the case, a little too haphazardly, but nothing fell so… “Look! There! Do you think I could get one like that one,” she gestured, her finger pointing towards one of the wands made of acacia. “I don’t really know if I get to choose or…do you choose for me?,” her grey eyes moving back to Zoryn. For the briefest of moments, all of the guards that she’d built since she was old enough to hide how she was feeling had dropped, leaving her with an expression somewhere between childlike innocence and excitement. This only lasted for the briefest of moments however as she turned away, not wanting to look at her guardian. Feeling all sorts of embarrassed and ashamed, she admitted under her breath “No one told me how I get a wand or nothing like that.”
She should have asked Mika or one of her older siblings about it, but never had! Why hadn’t she asked him before? Trying her best to cover it up, she dropped Zoryn’s hand and focused on the wands, leaning in closely to examine one of the acacia wands closer to hide her face. Sloane was only able to drag Zor away from Faith because Zoryn had let her do so. Though she is little, she is mighty and Sloane wouldn't have stood a chance otherwise. "It means you have an adorable sweat mustache above your lips," she replied matter-of-factly. But this is all she said as Sloane looked over the wands on display with wonder and awe. Okay, yeah. It was kind of sweet or whatever. It almost brought Zor back to her own wand-fitting. Almost. She wasn't sentimental, that was her WIFE.
Ahem. "Only if--" she started, halting quickly when she noticed the embarrassment in the girl's eyes. Damn. Zoryn reaaaaaally wanted to tease. But the Faith-sounding voice in her head kept her from doing so. And instead, she nudged the girl and offered an encouraging sort of look. Or whatever. "You could have a wand like this, yeah. It'll have to choose you though. The wand finds the wizard." She explained, far more gently than Zor was ever used to. "You'll walk up, and they'll take measurements or whatever," she wouldn't go into detail because a) that was the boring part and b) it'd be funny to see how Sloane reacted to the flying measuring tape. "They'll give you some wands to try out, but most of them will be total duds. And you might make a cabinet or two explode before the right one finds you -- that's the best part." Destroying a century old shop. Ah. The joy it brought her.
