Gonoph raised an eyebrow and nodded once, polite but silent. That seemed odd, a co-worker that encourages you to go to a candy store... But he said nothing.
"Indeed." Gonoph said, his eyes glancing to follow the couple momentarily before returning his attention to the store counter and everything on it... everything except the money that is. His eyes were purposely avoiding the stacks of galleons, sickles and knuts, as though he were allergic to such things.
What the ruddy hell? Taffy thought, groaning. Pepper Imps were jumping about left and right; candy spilled everywhere! She quickly rushed over to the aisle, wand drawn, and cast a charm to clean up the mess. "Merlin's pants! Are you alright, dearie?" she asked the customer. What a mess.
Gonoph watched the mess spill out all over the floor, expressionless.
Gonoph set his chocolate frog down on the counter as though he changed his mind. "I'll come back tomorrow; I can see you've enough to manage, dear lady. " He nodded once to bid her adieu and headed out of the shop, his right hand never leaving the pocket of his robes. Just before he stepped out of the shop, his back still turned to the counter, he let go of the galleon he had been holding in his pocket and grasped the wand in the pocket instead. He cast a quick, silent charm, his right hand twitching once in his pocket. He then stepped out into the street.
The galleons on the counter suddenly vanished. Nicoli's suspicions were aroused once again. With his change and odd sweets laid forgotten on the counter he thought it odd for the old man to come in to buy just one chocolate frog and then decide it wasn't worth it. His eyes followed the man as he bent over pretending to help Aaron. There just wasn't something right here.
As the man left the shop, Nicoli stood up straight, his hand held out for Aaron to take as he continued to watch the man. Had he really not taken them? Nicoli glanced at the counter, then again. It was the old man! It was! "He took the bait!" Nicoli said in urgent tones to Aaron, all covert illusions abandoned. "Let's go!" With that he walked swiftly out the door.

Arrests had to be done cautiously until one was sure they had the right person. After that, all mercy was gone. At least, that’s how she’d been taught. She was thrown off, however, as the man they suspected stepped out of the store. He didn’t appear to be in a rush nor did he look like he’d suffered any kind of arrest attempts in there. She wasn’t really sure what to do so she discreetly aimed a non-verbal tracking spell at him. It wasn’t strong, but it would do, if it even hit him, that is. She was still having trouble hitting targets with non-verbal spells. Once he was outside he told the other two in hushed tones what happened. "It was the old man, come on. It's time to capture him." Nicoli then proceeded to use a Disillusionment Charm and began stalking the old man, his wand now gripped tightly in his right hand.
