"Would that be a variety of all the.. erh, flavors, or is there a specific few you'd like?"
"Aww, that's very sweet of you. I'll go get that now, excuse me for a moment," with that said, Artemis carefully stepped over the little gate on opening side of the counter and in a matter of seconds disappeared into a crowd of children of all ages.
When she reappeared, it was with a little cage held at head-level, out of the way as not to be jostled and spook the maroon puff ball inside. "Here we go." Artie uttered softly, gently setting the mini carrier on the countertop and took her usual position behind the counter.
Artemis chuckled as the young girl who appeared to be in her teens acknowledged Jinx, who wagged her tail happily in response to the enthusiasm in the girl's voice. "Thank you. Her name's Jinx," Artie happily replied, giving a slight nod of her head. "Awesome! Nope, no such thing as Pygmy food as of right now. They're very low maintenance and will eat almost anything you give them, just use about the same caution you would use with a crup or kneazle. Nothing with chicken or fish bones and things like that." She explained assuringly, adding as an after thought, "And that'll be 1 galleon."
"Alrighty, here you go," Artie slid the bag toward him, accepting the coins with her other hand. "You too, enjoy the rest of summer!" She called after the boy while depositing the money into the register. Hmmmm, next customer?
Jinx? "Awhh! What a cute name!" Neko was totally an animal person, mainly cats, but who could resist the adorably cute face of a puppy? Turning semi-serious and listening about the food precautions, Nekoda smiled, nodding her head enthousistically, "I can manage that!" Thank goodness they didn't require too much work, not that that would stop her from getting Plume of course.
Hearing the price, Nekoda dug into her purse, pulling out the bag of money her uncle presented her that morning, and retreiving a galleon. "Here you go! And thank you!"
