And on this day, he told his mother he'd do a little extra shopping so that Chloe could save a trip to Diagon Alley and they didn't have to make it a whole family thing, which he knew could be a hassle with Morgan. But that didn't mean he would just head there, be responsible, and head back. He could certainly spare a little extra time for his own thing - maybe get some ice cream or hang out with a friend, should he happen to run into one.

Speaking of friends, Gunnar soon caught sight of one of his dorm mates when his attention was drawn to the music being played on the street. He listened for a moment, smiling a bit, as his feet took him that way. Clearly Kaiser was playing for money, which didn't seem to be a bad summer job. If only he could do that with his piano, but it wasn't exactly good for travel. He dug into his pocket for a few sickles and tossed them into the other boy's hat. "Not bad, mate," he grinned as he offered him a bit of applause as well.

Even as he leaned down to peer into the hat, some sickles were dropped into it and Kaiser automatically looked up at whoever had contributed them. At the sight of Gunnar, he grinned, and straightened back up again. "Thank you," he replied. "I do what I can."

As he moved his guitar around so that it was slung across his back rather than his front, Kaiser became suddenly keenly aware of his own general appearance. He was not exactly the freshest he had ever been, but he had been quite happy to operate as usual right up until the moment that his dormmate and friend had appeared. It was less a feeling of self-consciousness, however, and more a concern over calling attention to... things.

But Kaiser was a pro at acting natural, like nothing was up, so he simply shoved his hands into his pockets and rocked back on his heels, a smile still fixed on his face. "Are you shopping for school?" he asked, a reminder that he himself needed to do that very thing, if he could ever bear to part from his money.
