She might have tried to steal it!
And that wouldn't have been the first time something like that happened.
Pushing those unimportant thoughts from her head, though, Destiny stared, wide-eyed and opened mouthed at him as he told the story about how he had found Millie. That.. that was so SAD! The saddest story she had ever heard! "Poor Millie! Poor Millie's mother!" And if she wasn't all depressed now over that story, she was going to need to eat extra chocolate frogs after this, she would have asked him if he knew that the wombat's pouch is backwards so they don't get dirt inside of it. Maybe she could throw that little fact in when they were at the register. If the guy was done looking around.
Which he seemed to be. Handing over the toys, she was just about to show him to the register when his comment about his dog living at Hogwarts had her stopping. Hogwarts!? What was an old guy like him going to do at Hogwarts!? "Hogwarts must've changed since I graduated in seventy-six." Letting the elderly attend and all.
"We can go to the counter if you're done!"
He probably shouldn't have told her that. Sebastian had already figured out that the woman was quite the animal lover which made him think of Ruby. She was an avid animal fan went so far as to march in protests for animal rights. He heaved a sigh, he did not want to be thinking about her right now.
Sebastian stepped forward and gave the young woman a small pat on the shoulder.
"I'm sorry to have upset you. Will you be okay?" She wasn't going to cry or anything, was she? Because he didn't think he had any tissues on him.
It took him a moment to realise what she was getting at and he laughed.
"I'm going to be working there." His days of being a student were over years and years ago. Something else she said caught his attention and Sebastian looked at her.
"My daughter graduated that year as well." Had they known each other?
He looked down at the toys in his hand and nodded.
"Ah yeah. I'm done."
