Standing up straight and placing his hands in the pockets of his leather jacket, he smiled apologetically at Gretchen, and then Alexander, before glancing around the area. Hopefully they had not attracted too much attention. Bryce didn't particularly enjoy attention on himself unless it was for good business. This wasn't good business. However, he did happen to notice a young lad not far from them tying his shoes. A student from Hogwarts perhaps? Or had one of the adults brought their child?

Before he knew it though, he was once again being dragged to who knows where. A simple 'May I talk to you over to the side for a minute or so' would have been sufficient enough! Yet, Bryce did not fight the man, instead, followed along and gave a DRAMATIC roll of the eyes. Yes, he did it. And it was DRAMATIC for those who didn't see. Dramatic!

Oh, so he really did have the goblet with him. Power. Leonidas was offering him power? HOLY MOTHER OF MERLIN! That was NOT the wand he sold the man earlier in the week. Becoming rather serious, Bryce stood his full height, staring dead straight into the man's eyes. No more funny business here. After a moment of silence, the wandmaker took a deep breathe, shaking his head as he took a quick look around to the others near them before replying to Leonidas in a low, yet very serious so he was not to be mistaken for kidding around, tone. "The thing about power Leonidas, is that it really holds no value to me. Not without skill that is. I would love to be almighty powerful man, but I'm not an idiot. Besides, power can be just as easily taken away from you as quick as it has been given." Speaking of taking away power, he'd be liking that wand back. "Tell me Leonidas, what are you, without your father and his back up squad, hmm? What are you after?"

To Bryce, the man was nothing special. Just someone who had money. "And the deal's off. Keep your money and power, and look for your answers alone. I will not help someone who treats me and our friends up there at the table like servants."
Before the wandmaker walked away, Leonidas tossed the goblet at him. "Bryce, you did a good enough job to have this. Do whatever you want with it. And thiss wand? this wand only hols special value to me. I appreciate what you've done for me tonight. If I get you in any trouble, I'm sorry. Besides, I really told my father to come to me. And, also, you still havemy word that I and my son will continue to come to you and make your store richer. Have fun tonight." At that, Leonidas apparated back to his home in the contry side of London.
