The color drained out of her face, her jaw dropping. So…she wasn’t going to smell, but she might smell a little bit like mooncalf dung? She loves her mooncalves, but she did NOT want her hair to smell like their waste.

She shot her family a brief, startled glance. Her dad has his lips pursed, her mum and sister shared twin concerned looks. Xelene was confident her dad could come up with a potion to solve this issue. Lemon would dry out her hair, no? Oh, her haiiiiir.

Looking back at the shopkeeper, a slight pout on her lips, she hesitated before taking the newly offered wand. The box was a nice shade of purple. That had to be a good sign…?

Gently taking the wand, she instinctively shut her eyes and gave it a shy wave in the air as she held her breath. It wasn’t until she heard a soft crackle that she opened her eyes. In front of her was a stream of glowing sparks. She gasped and smiled widely at the man and at her family. Did they see how dreamy these sparks were?! Like stars!

Victor's expression softened at the sight of the girl's reaction, particularly after the rather unfortunate first attempt.

"Maravillosa," he said quietly, watching the glowing sparks continue to drift from the wand's tip. He let the moment breathe for another few seconds before stepping closer, studying the wand and then the girl's grip. "The wand was a 11½-inch pliant holly with a Snidget feather core. Holly is a protective wood," he explained, gesturing lightly toward the wand as the last of the sparks faded. "It has a natural affinity for defensive and healing magic, and it tends to do particularly well when working with magical creatures. It's also a wood with a rather fiery temperament of its own, so it can be an excellent companion for someone who has a little... fire in them."

His eyes flicked away from the wand and settled on the girl. "The Snidget feather makes it an especially responsive wand. It is rather rare, as the feathers are donated by sanctuaries rather than harvested, and the wands made with them tend to be wonderfully consistent. Charms and defensive magic should come naturally, particularly spells involving evasion." A small smile appeared as he straightened and rubbed the back of his neck while his thoughts drifted ever so briefly to his daughter. "So... if you ever find yourself needing to get out of trouble quickly, I suspect this little one may prove quite useful."

Not that he was endorsing mischief, of course.

"Now, let's make certain we get you properly equipped. Your wand comes with the standard box and your choice of a wrist, ankle, or hip holster. We also have polish, conditioning and strengthening oils as part of some standard care bundles if you'd like to keep everything together."

The boy grinned at the man. “Me encanta.” He loved his wand already. It sounded like a perfect match to accompany him on his new journey.

Following the man to the counter, he nodded his head. “Just the wand, please.” He had a leather holster his dad had made for him at home, and really, Angel was a simple guy. The homemade leather holster and the wand care kit his grandfather had gifted him was enough. Unlike a certain cousin of his ~~(Xelene)~~ that will go the whole nine yards. Not that he was jealous. It was just a fact.

Victor's smile grew at the boy's enthusiasm. "I'm glad to hear it," he replied, giving the wand a small, approving glance. "And I think it has rather made its feelings about you clear as well."

He gathered the wand box and moved toward the counter, listening as the kid explained that he already had a holster and a care kit waiting at home. "Then just the wand it is. No sense in sending you home with things you've already got. Though your fitting does comes with a holster included, so perhaps one for a different part of your body may be a fun addition."

Which was, perhaps, the wrong thing to say as a business owner who should be stressing sales and the benefit of having backups for your backups.

"Your total comes to 10 Galleons."
