Sharing was caring, and even the homeless of London enjoyed a sweet treat on occasion.

But, he was acutely aware of someone waiting for his machine.

....

There were three others, didn't she see? They worked too? Or would he have to be the one to move?

Zeke was about to make comment on the fact that he would be a while when he heard the coins drop. Unlucky. Turning his gaze to his side where the chick had started gathering them up again, he was torn between continuing and helping. In the end... helping won out. Shoving his own coins back in his pocket he bent down beside her, leaving his previous shopping spoils in their bag on the floor behind him.

"Let me help you," he mused, his fingers already working to pick up the pieces. "I heard it's good luck though... dropping coins."

As she collected the coins she realized that there were another set of hands on the floor near hers and she glanced up at the boy just as he spoke. His words made her giggle, yes she giggled, something Nat had been doing a lot of recently. "Well it's a good thing my wallet decided to get a stupid hole in it and all the coins fell out, because I am always in need of as much luck as possible." Luck was certainly something that wasn't on her side much.

"Thank you for the help." picking up the last of the coins she slipped them just lose in her purse. She'd find a new wallet and place things back in later at home. Standing she smiled at the boy, "That's the best machine, it has the most purple gumballs in it." Giving a shy smile at her reasoning for waiting. He hadn't asked, but she figured he had to have wondered with the empty machines near him why she was waiting. "That one has too many yellows and I always end up with them and that one never has any purple." Though looking at it now she could see a few floating around.
