Text Cut: Mr. Wand Man!

Ariel couldn't stay disappointed when the wand man made an appearance. It would have been silly to be glum about a measuring tape of all things when she was about to get a wand of her own, of course. So she flashed the man her biggest and brightest of smiles and gave him her sweetest, "Hi, Mr. Wand Man!" she stood on her tiptoes in a poor attempt to see what had been scrawled on that parchment of his.

But she may never know what words were on the parchment for the man had darted away. When the man darted away, she had half a mind to run after him and proceed to tell him that he was being rude for keeping secrets and not sharing what he had been hmming over, but she managed to hold her tongue when she caught her knowing mum giving her The Look™. So she just stood there, rocking back and forth on her toes and heels, trying her best to be the patient girl she was not.

Her brown eyes widened with pure glee when the wand man returned and offered the box. Before he even finished his instructions, Ariel had already grabbed hold of the wand. "I know exactly what to do, Mr. Wand Man!" she exclaimed, oozing with confidence.

So she gave it a grandiose twirl... Nothing.

A nervous laugh escaped her throat as she gave it another go... Nothing.

Tears started to well up in her eyes as her breathing grew heavy. She gave the wand a series of waves, each becoming more aggressive... Several boxes suddenly flew off one of the shelves, some making contact with a wall, others smacking unsuspecting customers.

She let go of the wand instantly as frustrated tears began to stream down her face. This. Was. Not. Supposed. To. Happen. Like. This.

"Hello there," he said, taking up his list of measurements, recorded by his trusty parchment (and, of course, the measuring tape). "Let's see if we can't find you a wand today, yes?" Zeke scanned through the list of measurements, 'hm'ing and nodding to himself, before looking up again with a smile. "Perfect. Just one moment, please." With that, he strode off to one of his shelves, his eyes raking the boxes stacked there, before he found what he wanted and carefully slid one of the wand boxes out. "You know what to do?" he asked the girl as he returned, opening up the box and offering her the wand inside. "Just give it a wave and tell me what you think, and we'll go from there."
