Lex noticed that look. It was a look that almost went unnoticed given her oblivious nature and all but she saw it...him...that look. The look passed as he answered Lottie's question. It was a question she'd been interested in too. Just how much more valuable were the others that they had?

Considering the look he'd had on just now, Lex kept herself composed even after he informed them that the others really were worth more! Awesome! They could sell some of the rubies too...maybe a sapphire but let's not get hasty. So now they knew that her steal was valuable and they could benefit wonderfully from all this! She got set to nudge Lottie, indicating that it was there cue to leave but then he went on talking and giving them looks.

Ugh, this was like being caught in the Forbidden Forest all over again--that got her thinking and her eyes drifted briefly to Lottie. What if he had some kind of equipment, like the Grounds Keeper had had?

For now she was willing to take her chances because they were NOT handing anything over to Headmistress Truebridge and they were NOT giving the blue ones them away either.

"Gem." She corrected simply, keeping her expression as neutral as possible if not somewhat innocent. "Gem; singular because we only have one, this one here in my pocket. I found it lying on the floor and took it to show Lottie, she figured it'd be worth something if the goblin was willing to take the others and I figured we'd ask you. Didn't think it'd be worth as much as it is so I guess we'll both be 5 galleons richer?" Right Lottie? Isn't that what happened? Yes?? As for the hourglasses. "We're not up to anything, nothing I'd think is illegal anyway." Finders keeper yo! And in this case stealers keepers but shhhhh.
