 Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE!
Just looking. Maybe it was because he'd hardly ever "just looked" in a joke shop, or maybe they were "just looking" a little too intently, but Joe didn't really believe the girl. He wasn't thrown by her interest in his book, either. "Potions textbook," he said simply. "Pretty boring. I fell asleep the first time I tried to read the chapter."
But the boy seemed interested in his suggestion, so Joe smiled more cheerfully at him and moved around to the front of the counter so he could point out the headless hats (and other harmless joke items) on display. "Just...sort of invisible," he admitted as he showed the two youngsters the hats. "If you want something real, I'd recommend the Canary Creams," he added. Again, a harmless joke item. "They really turn you into a canary, even if it's just for a bit." |
