Pixxi, now quite irritated by her brother Felix who had dragged her through the entire shop, pulled her hand away from his when they came to the counter. "Slow it down, will you?" Felix looked at her and said, quite irritated, that they had to be quick. He put the brass telescope on the counter and told her to find the money. Slowly, she pulled out her wallet and stared at her brother while mumbling "We can't buy anything without the shopkeeper to assist us anyways. Stupid brother." They started their annoying neverending glaring contest while waiting for the shopkeeper to assist them.

"Yes my dear, I do carry those things here." Gemini smiled at the girl and leaned over to point them out, "Straight to the back and to the right, you'll find the telescopes, and then, off to the left, you'll find the trunks."

"That one would be 4 Galleons." Gemini replied. The telescope in question was actually 6 Galleons, but since the boy had expressed a worry for his dwindling money, Gemini decided to knock down the price a little bit.

What he didn't know wouldn't hurt him.

Gemini nodded, "Yes dear, that would be correct."

"I've had to send quite a few people away, who were looking for those. I assume they would have them at the Apothecary." Gemini collected the money and dropped it into the till.

"I don't carry cauldrons or gloves, for those, I suspect you'll have to go to the Apothecary." Gemini was really getting tired of having to say that, too. Seriously.

"The telescope will be 6 Galleons, however."

"Thank you, have a lovely day!" Gemini smiled at her customers and dropped the money into the till.

Gemini pointed out the way the girl needed to go to get to the items. "That way dearie, bring them up here once you've picked them out."

"Ok. Thank you. I'll go check there then." I smiled politely at the shopkeeper, took the shopping bag and left to continue with the rest of the supply list.

Jesifur turned around and headed straight back and to the right and found a telescope. Then headed over to the left as directed and found the trunk. She made her way back to the counter to wait her turn again. When she stepped up she set the items on the counter and sweetly asked, "How much will I owe you?"

James walks over and selects a trunk. He then Selects a Telescope. Last he heads over and selects a Mokeskin Pouch. He walks back to the counter and pays Gemini for his items.

"Here you go, 10 galleons and 3 sickles. Thank You so much for your help. See you next year."

He waves to the shopkeep and takes his purchases back out to the alley.

"Thank you."

Illiana skipped off into the direction she had pointed her into. She took a moment to chose out her telescope and then looked at all the trunks. With items in hand she went back to the counter.

"One telescope and one magical trunk," she nodded in certainty. "How much do I owe you?"

Temperance approaches the counter with the telescope and the trunk. "Since I am almost done with getting all my supplies, maybe I will look at some of the other stores afterwards to see what I can find." she says to herself.

Boon looked at the shiny brass auto-focus telescope and then at the magical trunk in her hands as she carried them up to the counter.

"Hello," she said to the shopkeeper. "Just these two things for the moment, please."

Boon grabbed 8 galleons and 3 sickles out of the pocket where she'd set it aside. It occurred to her that she hadn't factored in the possibility of extra cost for the auto-focusing ability of her telescope. She took a deep breath and reminded herself that the kindly-looking woman standing there would probably give her a total.

Boon lifted her eyes, said "Thanks," and waited for her word.

After finally picking out a brass telescope and a magical trunk, Melania stepped in line at the counter. When it was her turn she placed her items on the counter and asked the shopkeeper, "Do you know where I can buy protective gloves? I checked the apothecary and Madam Malkins, but neither has them."

Sabel paused when Damien paused, letting his eyes trail about the street. He had been on nothing but constant alert since they had hit Diagon, and now wasn't an exception. He did allow for a very brief break in his watchful attention to blink at Damien in some surprise.

..."Your dog is trained that well?" If that's what he could do with a dog, Sabel didn't really want to imagine what he could craft an Auror into. A small smile touched his lips. "I'll do my best."

Then it was following Damien in and ducking a little off to the side so that the man and his wife could have some privacy when they greeted one another.

While he had comprehended the fact that Damien and Gemini had a puppy, he hadn't expected to be attacked at the ankles by one in the store!

Admittedly, he did a startled shuffle backwards, more in surprise at the barking than actual fear of the vocalizer. When he realized what it was and that it wasn't going to eat his shoes for dinner, a small smile progressed to his lips. He would never admit it, but he did feel somewhat better when Damien scooped it up.

He was in the process of reaching over to offer a scratch-greeting, when Gemini found them. All attention was drawn away from the dog to the woman, and he tried to remember when the last time was that he had seen her. Too long apparently, given she nearly completely ignored Damien; an action that had him turning a little red.

"Gemini." He returned the hug, albeit carefully. "You look well." How long before they had their baby? He couldn't rightly remember.

Gemini GIGGLED and grabbed at the bag of muffins, missing it the first two times, "I was just kidding!" EEK! CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS. "Did you get the cream cheese spread too?" She asked, almost ripping the bag while trying to open it up to see inside.

Gemini looked over her shoulder to where the boy had disappeared, "Sabel dear, do you want a muffin?"

"What kind of husband would I be if I didn't bring the cream cheese spread?" he said with a chuckle. He gave Gemini a little wink and then conjured her a chair while he hopped with some degree of difficulty onto the counter and made himself comfortable.

"Not a very good one." Gemini agreed with a nod. She eyed the chair for a moment and finally sat on it. She DID have two other people who could help her stand back up if she needed to.

Greedily, Gemini spread a generous helping of cream cheese on her muffin, happy as ever.

Gemini glanced at the boy, "Well, if you change your mind, let me know before I finish them off!" She replied happily. She watched him as he took interest in something on the shelf, "Those are on sale this week." she added, through a mouthful.

Chew. Chew. Swallow. "But for you, FREE!" Of course!

She was the happiest little pregnant woman in the world! Hehe. "What are you two up to today anyway? Surely you didn't come around just to see me."
