Except for discounts, there was a point in which people began to notice.

Gilly's eyebrow raise made sense considering what he was advising could also get them in a lot of trouble. But it also seemed like the most logical way to get magical creatures. Ask forgiveness, not permission right? "Exactly that. I mean... mom is really softhearted towards creatures too. She could say no to the idea but could she say no to the critter?" And puppy dog eyes? Because he was pretty sure between one or the other, the twins were going to get their way. "Let's go do that! I want to scout out a pet! Maybe could do a kneazle! Or... maybe a cruppy is more my energy?"
Had such a reminder been stated aloud, she would have rolled her eyes at him for being so literal with such things. Yes, they were technically children; their size and youthful appearance made that abundantly clear. However, in her mind, Gilly considered herself to be anything but a child. In comparison to others, and some adults even, she was quite mature for her age, an old soul. In her opinion, that was what mattered most, or should have mattered, at the end of the day.

Funnily enough, the possibility of them getting into trouble if they brought a creature of some sort home with them was a thought that vanished just as quickly as it popped into her mind. There wasn't a time when she and her brother got into trouble. Receiving the look and a reprimand here and there, yes, but never anything more extreme than that. She was very aware that they could be hard to say no to. She could be rather persuasive, and Drake had his charm.

"I don't think she'd say no. Though I do think she'd appreciate a conversation before we show up with a critter," Gillyweed replied rationally. "But looking at our options would be a good start. Better to go in as a unified force and have a plan of action." As for getting a kneazle versus a cruppy, she shrugged. "Both have their pros and cons."
