She should really just go get her owl. But...she didn't feel comfortable leaving this boy who CLEARLY had the wits of a small mountain troll hanging off the wall by himself. He'd probably fall and break his neck, so SOMEONE had to stand here to catch him. She didn't think much of his climbing skills.

As she watched the boy stretching for a cage STILL out of his reach -- what was the point of climbing then? -- Emmeline sighed. She wished she had gone wand shopping already; the troll-boy would probably bring ALL the shelves down when Emmeline knew there would be a spell to get the cage down.

It was SO tempting to throw this jar at his head.

"You know, there are people down here with WANDS who can get that cage in two seconds. You're wrecking half the shop!"
She didn't have a wand, but grown ups did and there were plenty of grown ups around to ask. She also felt sorry for the poor shopkeeper; troll-boy had smashed A LOT of jars (in her opinion). She used the same "duhh" tone he'd used with her. And she couldn't help adding: "Not much of a climber, are you?"
And he was told that he was dramatic. A couple of shelves were hardly half the shop, so he was going to ignore her like he did mum and Noe when they were fussing at him about something or another. Although he did make faces to mimic her as he continued to climb up one last shelf.

"I climb trees all the time in the orchard," he retorted as he reeeeeaaaaaaaached for the cage and felt his fingers brush against the metal. "...AND we have a big cedar tree out back that I climb to the top of ALL the time." So she could go take her insults and stick them up her nose since she seemed to like sticking THAT in other people's business.

And yes, he was totally ignoring the wand comment...because mature like that.

"I'm gonna need you to catch this for me," he announced as his fingers pushed the cage closer towards the edge and blatantly ignoring any reluctance in her voice. He was lacking in stature sooooooo still not reaching it enough to just be able to grab it off the shelf. "On the count of three...one..two...THREE!"

Dooooooooooown went the cage towards the floor.
