He wasn't sure how he'd feel about talking to a framed individual as he couldn't imagine with their seemingly static existence that they'd have anything intelligent to say.
Taking care to be quiet, Cutty carefully arranged two of his chocolate frogs alongside 2 sugarquills, deciding to throw one in there for Cassia's helpfulness. At no extra cost. He put the rest of the candy away and fastened the closure on his bag once more. "That'll be 16 sickles." He said in a somewhat lofty tone.
"Alexa, h'mm?" He carefully recalled the faces he'd seen so far at the school. "I don't think I've met her yet. I'd remember a Gryffindor candy addict." That's what he'd like to think anyway. "I don't suppose you could introduce us, could you?" He almost wasn't going to ask, but the opportunity was blaring right in his face and he couldn't resist it. He'd be sure to make sure his hair stayed combed that day.
Cassia nodded knowingly at his words. "
They do stare and they used to make fun of me when I used to get lost around and pass them," She said remembering the ol' days. She was such a clueless child back then. So not like Cutty who had already started a business and was doing such a good job with it. Last time she and her ravenclaw bestie tried to start a business, it didn't end that well. "
Some of them aren't that rude," She told him remembering a discussion about them that happened last year. It called for a smile.
The fifth-year silently watched the process in which the candy was being wrapped and prepared to be given to her. That was neat and professional, no? She was in awe here. Taking the bag from her, she nodded and put it aside then inserted her hand into her pocket and retrieved a fistful of coins. Yup, she had many. Not broke as she was last year. Slowly, the blond counted 16 sickles then reached over and handed them to Cutty. "
here you go,"
So he hadn't met her? No wonder he still hadn't sold all he had. She considered his question and thought of how she was trying to get Lex to cut down on sugar. Maybe it wasn't that smart of her to bring it up? But then again she wanted to help the boy here and make sure Lex didn't go do something stupid to get candy. Maybe if she had to pay for it, she'd think twice about it? Eeeh. As if. "
I think I can arrange that," She finally answered. "
Though, do you have a rule about how much a customer can buy from you?" He might just want to get rid of what he had unless he liked the idea of this business running.
