Plenty more customers still in need of wands, and he had no intentions of making them wait any longer than was necessary.

Zeke set his coffee down, safe and out of sight behind the counter, and turned to find his next customer. As he did, the parchment bearing its measurements zoomed up to him, and he quickly plucked it out of the air before the thing slapped him in the face.

"Ah, let me see," he said, scanning the measurements and then looking up at this girl, his next customer, with a smile. "Hello there. If you'll give me just a moment..." And just a moment it was, for Zeke only had to turn and scan his shelves for the candidate he was looking for, before plucking the wand box from the stacks. He lifted the lid from the box and turned back to his young customer, offering the wand that was inside. "Here we are. Give this a wave, and we'll see what's what."

After what felt like ages, but in reality wasn't considering how busy the popular shop was, the wandmaker's attention turned towards her. Brie paused for a moment while she considered whether or not she could gain anything by being friendly - when she decided that considering he held her future wand in his hands (or... would at some point), there was plenty of gain. Ignoring the burning desire to roll her eyes, Brie pasted on the smile she usually reserved for Grandpa Elon and chirped a greeting. "Hi, sir! Take your time." The words were nearly painful to say.

Truly. Did anyone else notice her choke on them a little?

When the box was presented towards her, Brie took an eager step forward and peered inside. The contents... were nothing to be impressed with it, it seemed. But she'd give the professional the benefit of the doubt for this go around. The small blond reached out and picked up the wand, giving it a small wave and....

Nothing. No response. The wand didn't even heat up in her hand or anything. Placing it back down, she glanced back up at him with a look slightly more suspicious than before. "I think that one's defective."
