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.
She couldn't tell if he was surprised that the portraits made fun of student or he was just expressing his disapproving. "
They did. Not anymore though," Because she didn't get lost anymore and because she'd talk back to the people in portraits and not be intimidated by them. "
I just learnt to ignore some or just come up with smart comebacks," The later took some time. But she succeeded eventually. She even became friend with a couple?
That definitely wasn't the question she was looking for. She paused thinking of how to respond and not crush his hopes at the same time. "
IT's just that she has lots of candy. And it's not healthy," Not that it was the eleven-year's problem. "
No worries, I'll take care of that." She can't tell him to not sell her more than a certain amount of candy.
She smiled lopsidedly at his words. That was a boy who knew exactly what he was doing. "
Do I get something if I introduce you to the most candy-consuming person in this school?" She wasn't really intending on getting paid. She might have last year, but not this year. Just asking to see how he'd handle this.
