Waving at the flowers? Delightful.

What Zeke was not prepared for, however, was to suddenly find himself caught up in a hug.

Colour him bemused, because as far as he could tell, she'd not so much as touched the wand yet. He glanced questioningly towards the window as he patted the girl on the shoulder, looking out at the group she'd waved at earlier; he thought he caught sight of a young man face-palming out there.

"Thank you very much for saying so," Zeke told the customer, still smiling as kindly as before. "That's a delightful thing for an old wandmaker to hear-" NOT that he was actually old, thank you very much. In his early 40s, he was still in the prime of his life. But to this girl? Maybe he seemed ancient. "-that's exactly what I aspire to. But I think - just to be absolutely sure - that you should give the wand a test run. What do you say?"

Maeb wasn't sure that this man was hugged very often - it seemed like he didn't know that you were supposed to hug back. A pat on the shoulder wasn't part of a hug! It may have been the saddest thing she'd heard all day... but Larkin had also said he was fine after realising that the kids had eaten all of the pancakes before he came to breakfast that day and he definitely definitely wasn't fine. "You aren't OLD!" She assured, almost stomping her foot but instead just nodding firmly. Maybe he was the same age as her Mum! She wasn't old. Gen was like... well, Gen sometimes said that she felt like she drank from the fountain of youth every day, but she was also sometimes a little strange...

"Okay..." the brunette didn't sound as self-assured with that point, but she took the wand in her hand either way. Maebry cast yet another look over her shoulder at her family outside the windows, looking a lot less excited than she had been when they got here. What if a wand didn't want to be hers? What if this proved Dia right and she wasn't going to be able to go to Hogwarts with the rest of her siblings this year? What if she wasn't good enough for a wand?

Gen provided a cue to breathe and Larkin a double thumbs up which settled her more than she liked. So with a deep breath, she gave the wand in her hand a strong wave... oh. From the end sprouted some blue flowers which faded into wisps and danced from the end of the wand into her hair. "They were pretty!!!!!"
