He stowed his own wand away again. "Thank you. It comes from years of practice," he added, before smiling again, and clasping his hands together. Because it was time.

"Well, I think it's perfectly clear that this wand has chosen you, and, yes, it does seem that that's the case. You'll discover more about each other over time, with every spell you cast together." But details? More details? More details.

"This wand is twelve and a half inches of solid hickory, with a snidget feather core. Hickory is excellent for those who wish to develop their leadership skills." Here, Zeke paused, but not because he disbelieved that that could possibly be the case; more because the next part was just so apt, considering what had just transpired. "This wood is very in touch with nature, and has an affinity with Herbology, plant magic, and the elements of earth and air. It's also excellent for divination and any spells that require creation, or that work with giving an object a semblance of life, or encouraging new growth." See? Apt. In that regard, Zeke was fairly confident they'd matched up well together, even just based on that little magical display alone. "Snidget feather cores are fairly rare. Donated by sanctuaries and reservations, for ethical wandmaking. These wands are very responsive and consistent in their spell-casting; perfect for a learner. It will be well suited to Charms, and defensive spells should come naturally, especially spells that cater to evasion. It also makes for an excellent duelling wand, should you feel so inclined to explore that area of magic."

Now, where was that box... aha. Zeke scooped it back up and held it out. "If you pop that back in here, I'll ring it up for you. The wand by itself will be 10 galleons. Are you interested in anything else to go with it?"

[12½ inch solid hickory with snidget feather]

Nyle smiled warmly at the wandmaker, not quite showing his teeth for a toothy grin but still wide enough that his cheeks stretched and eyes twinkled like the sun reflecting off the water of the lake near his home. "I suppose it is best to think about this wand...my wand being enthusiastic about me and less about not being able to stand on my feet," he chuckled nervously with a rub to the back of his neck. And just maybe the detail about falling over was something he didn't share with Iris. Mum had undoubtedly seen it when peeking in through the window and that was okay...she could even tell dad just as long as it didn't get back to his sister. Holding the wand with both his hands now, the blond listened and nodded along as the wandmaker explained all the cool details about his wand. He hadn't guessed hickory on appearance alone and the description raised the rosy color in his cheeks considerably. "It's...perfect," he nodded, his head lifting and hands gingerly returning the wand to its box for the time being. "Mum tried this wand...it almost matched with her," he whispered more to himself than the man standing in front of him as his fingers tapped the lid in place.

"Oh, yeah! Dad said I ought to get a Chinese Fireball hide wrist holster and some wand polish too...and mum recommended I get one of those Magical Resonance Protection Salve..." he explained while fishing the coin pouch from his pocket and then an even smaller coin pouch from in that coin pouch and began adding some coins from the bigger to the smaller as necessary. "Um...yes...just...add another couple of sickles and a galleon and...I think this covers it all," Nyle chirped as he handed the smaller pouch over to the man. "Thank you, sir. This was all...very enlightening and pretty fun too."
