slughorn-and-jiggers:
Max thought about the girl’s offer. His inclination was to say no again, it wasn’t in his nature to let people buy things for him, but he also didn’t want to be rude. And she seemed so sweet and genuine in her offer. But he didn’t want to take advantage of her. It really had been a complete and total accident, there was no need for her to make amends. He wanted to say no, but he really had been looking forward to the ice cream. “Alright,” he said slowly. “What if you buy me a replacement cone and I buy you a, well, just a regular cone?”
“that sounds... like a deal,” she smiles, hands loosening as she starts walking north with him in the direction of florean fortescue’s. she didn’t quite understand why the man wouldn’t just take her offer, but she agreed to his terms anyway. “i don’t know if you’ve tried the candied violet ice cream,” she says as she opens the door to the shoppe, “but it’s to die for and they make the best.”
