And she was going to make sure that she remained in touch with him. Because you become friends with smart people. Regardless of their age.
Her lopsided smile remained on her face and deepened. Slytherin through and through, this boy was. "Hmmm..." She uttered leaning back in her chair and tapping her chin with her finger. She didn't really expect him to agree or take it seriously. But he did and she wasn't going to say that she was joking or wasn't serious. Might be a sign to not take her seriously in other occasions. "Ten per cent." She finally answered him. Was it cheap or too much? She didn't want to set a price in case his profits weren't high. She was a friend here and wanted to help one way or another.
Cutty smiled proudly. It was a compliment he wasn't asking for, but the fact that it manifested during his negotiation anyway made it feel more genuine. Cassia Somerlad was obviously one of the nicer Slyths. He decided this when he heard her only ask for 10%. Had this been his older sister, he would've been out by no less than a quarter (or perhaps more knowing Harlowe these days). "
Alright. 10% of every sale you bring to me. Done." Aand, maybe he'd throw a little something extra in there for her as it never hurt to reward those willing to help one get ahead.
"
I should go." He said sounding not too eager to leave. "
My friend, Jezzabelle is going to jinx me if I don't return her book to her on time." He packed up his things into his bag, though he hadn't gotten through all he wanted to in the book yet so he considered stopping by the check out counter before leaving to get a longer period with the material. "
I'll see you in the common room, Cassia." He smiled and waved, looking perhaps uncharacteristically happy as he headed back.
