Tilting his palm upside down he emptied his hand of her coins, satisfied as they made that soft clinking sound upon landing in his bag. "Sabotage? A feral animal?... been around nifflers recently?" Those were fair guesses he supposed. He was oblivious to the fact that she was more talking to herself than to him, he was busy inserting coins and collecting gumballs. He added them to the stock he'd already purchased, waiting until the carry bag filled. That would be a good sign he'd need to stop.

He hadn't been judging, everyone had their own thing. "Fair enough," he acknowledged in response. Zeke's grinning lips split a little to let out a light chuckle along with hers. "That's a good thing," he commented, regarding the knowing what she liked bit. EVERYONE ought to know what they liked, it made life so much easier.

What was more interesting than building his stash, was that the purple-gum-girl did indeed go to his school - he couldn't be sure, people travelled and the girl was clearly not from here. "Oh cool, liking it so far?" he asked conversationally, which also answered the question of his own attendance at the school. And then there was a name, albeit a short name. "Nat, nice to meet you, I'm Zeke," he introduced himself, instinctively extending a hand to shake.
Karma, well that was a way of looking at it. This boy was kind of interesting. She listened to him with a smile. "Okay so it was luck since they are mine. Good, good, my day is looking up." Yes, if she lost that many coins it had to be looking up. "Maybe a sabotage. I haven't been near any animals lately. My father won't let me get any pets." She wasn't joking on that, but she did giggle a bit.

She put her money in and got a few gumballs to stick in her bag. "Jackpot!" She held up two purple to show him. "Here I got a red to. All yours." She handed it over since he said he liked the red. She pulled out a few more coins and placed it in the machine again. Looking at him curiously, "Is it? Sometimes I think it might be more fun if I didn't." She wasn't one that truly knew what she wanted and she had grown so much over the past year, but it was interesting to hear him say it was good.

"I am. Most people are so nice. I've met a lot of friends and have felt very welcome." Other then a few slythering girls she could have added but didn't. "What house are you in?" She could never keep people straight with their houses and since most of her friends were snakes she assumed he wasn't one. "Zeke? That's a neat name." She gave him her hand to shake.
