"And another discount, this must be my lucky day." Or it could have been if she'd never been whacked in the head.
Chelsea took them both, the whole time absentmindedly watching her sister who'd gone on to looking at potions? She never figured her for the type.
Jim caught her attention again with his mention that there was something for Cassie. A carnation. "She'll love it if she's not too busy being a prude."
Eyes on Cassie again. No way she was planting her own flowers.
"They'll last a few months, they're charmed that way." Jim said cheerfully enough given the circumstances. He took the payment and put it in their money tin (which was chained to the stall by the way since Jim had the paranoia), and locked it again.
And... he had nothing he could say in response to that Cassie comment. Either she'd like it or she wouldn't, he wasn't going to lose sleep over it anymore.
"Enjoy the rest of the festival, Chels." Quote:

She stepped carefully up on the curb to admire a few of the flowers, taking a stream of water to one eye when she ventured too close to the daisies. Lucie laughed and headed to find Jim.
"Hello, Jamie. Give us a kiss, won't you?" She presented her face for kissing with a cheeky look, followed up with, "Is your partner here? I want to steal you for a while. You know how I hate shopping alone." Not that she believed for a moment that he would abandon his flowers, but since he looked so completely serious at the moment...
And where was that partner of his with the big charming smile? Quote:

He grinned over once he recognized the young woman - A colleague of the lovely Miss Ola Bott, future Mrs. Morgan. Well. Maybe. If he made enough money, maybe eventually Ola would...
ANYWAY. GRINNING. For woman that sold Ola's designs. Yes. That was her.
Because what he needed in his life was a Bones' cousin bothering him. He did give her cheek a kiss though. "You're just here because you want free flowers. You know Plymouth of course." Dating Pensacola and all of that. He gave her a quick squishy side hug and then returned his attention to, y'know, actual customers. Quote:

Yes, I want to--" She paused when the carnations was at her cheek whispering, instantly her cheeks turning a deep shade of pink. "Aw! I love them. Can I get four more?" For her mom, her aunt, her grandmother and her sister (even if this one was more likely to experiment on it than actually hear it).
"I would like a bouquet of Humming Hyacinths, too, please? My gran likes music and I haven't given her anything special in a long time." Her sugar gliders were still running along the stall, the pygmy puffs in the big cage squeaking and rolling or waddling against each other.
The sign where it said that some of the money would go to Hogwarts caught Cleo's eye then, she stared at it bitterly in a serious manner before turning her gaze up to the young man with the nice grin.
"Cute names." James said and smiled at the girl. That reaction there with the flower? That was essentially why he'd created them. He grabbed a selection of colours for the compliment carnations and then happily prepared a bouquet of the Hyacinths too. "They'll be perfect for your gran then. That's 2 Galleons, 3 Sickles, and 28 Knuts." Jim held the bouquet and the five individually wrapped carnations out, each tied prettily in nice paper and ribbon, and grinned cheerfully. Flowers were always a good reason to smile after all. Quote:

Jake wasn't expecting to come across anything suitable to get; he had in fact thought about getting some flowers from a muggle shop BUT
Apparently that wasn't necessarily. There were flowers here.
Jake could tell because he could SENSE the pollen. It made his nose tickle.
Plus he could see them. That was also a giveaway.
Stepping up to the flowers, Jake glanced at the vendors manning this particular stall for a brief send before staaaaaring at the flowers. It didn't even strike him that he might have known the vendors. Why would it? He wasn't good at faces.
Hmmmmmmmm... now what to get? The roses looked pretty neat, but was that a mum-present?
Jake considered maybe asking one of the guys, but the prospect of doing that was slightly overwhelming, so he just kept looking at the flowers, hoping that he would suddenly know what to do.
Hoping.
Still hoping.
Starestare. Looking atchu, roses.
......
.....? "Jake Upstead." He was sure of it. Jim squinted a little and then nodded once. Yes. He smiled politely enough.
"You after some flowers for someone special? The roses are pretty great, they change colour based on mood."
SPOILER!!: Addi and Stan Quote:

She blushed deeper and avoided looking at Stan for a moment, by looking up at the flower guys. They looked very pleased with themselves...and the one really sucked at giving subtle hints. Still it managed to make Addi grin every so slightly.
Face flushed red, Addi looked back up at Stan. "I do...but you don't have to get any for me if you don't want to." Quote:

SOMEBODY HELP HIM, PLEASE?
The boy finally smiled at Adelaide and nodded. "Of course, I want to." If only he knew what. He turned towards the flower-dudes 'cause surely they could help him out.
"So.. what do you guys suggest I get for her?" Yes. Of COURSE he wanted to. Jim found himself nodding in encouragement, though a lot more subtly than Plymouth of course.
"Hmmm well, the Compliment Carnations always go down a treat. Try one out if you like. Or perhaps the Colour-Changing Cornflowers." He gestured at the flowers and then at the inventory board with all the prices and descriptions of what each flower did. Mhmm. He could go ahead and pick one out for the pretty girl.
