And the fact that the shopkeeper had never seen him before in the shop. He was usually pretty aware of faces.

On second thought, even if they were for him, Gideon wasn’t sure he could restrict since none of the ingredients individually for forbidden or restricted despite the complicated relationship they could have together. Surely his brother, and maybe dad would chide him for always looking out for the bad on matters when it didn’t have to be that way. And if Nigel heard he had caused trouble and potential buyers without exact provocation…

Coming up behind the counter after grabbing the last of the items, the shopkeeper looked everything over, actually needing the antiquated machine to keep it all straight. “That would be 19 galleons and 6 sickles all total,” he informed the man, briefly wondering if he was prepared for that total. A decent sale for sure and not the average take that he usually dealt with.

Only 20 Galleons? If Jack was a comic book villain, he would have been rubbing his hands together excitedly. He’d been given more than enough to cover the cost and his client needn’t know that he hadn’t used all the money he was given. Call it a bonus.

Despite his excitement, he put on a thoughtful look as if he was thinking over his finances. ”Right. Thanks,” he pulled out the coins and handed them over. ”I’m sure I’ll be back sometime. We just moved here and my sister doesn’t like crowds.” He gave the shopkeeper a slightly abashed looking smile, hoping it gave the impression of a caring brother who was slightly embarrassed by a sibling. It was best to lay some sort of story in case he had to come back and the short explanation should be enough to explain the odd quantities he was buying.

He was glad that he was finishing up, because the shop was getting busy. ”Thanks again dude,” Jack said emphasizing the strong Brooklyn accent he’d been using. And grabbing his packages his left.
