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.
"
They made fun of you?!" He gave a sneer that was somehow more curious than cruel as he took the money squeezed his little fingers around it, released and repeated before placing it carefully into his bag. "
I don't think I'd be able to tolerate that for long. What did you do? Besides learn your way around."
At the prospect of having to consider sale limits for Cassia's candy-crazy friend, Cutty's mouth hung a little agape.
What?! WOT?! He had to replay the question in his head just to be sure he'd heard it correctly.
Do you have a rule about how much a customer can buy...?
"
Erhm...No. No, she can buy as much as she likes." He paused to consider if there was any circumstances under which he might not sell someone his entire stash and came to the conclusion that there were not. "
Perhaps, if I filled pre-orders I might place limits, but for now Cutty's Supplementary Sweets operates on a first come first served basis." He felt the need to explain, then considered the possible benefits of that.
