Nevin had watched the girl, cringing internally when she set the blade on the ground. When she said he was like her mother, it took the alchemist a solid few moments of thinking before he eventually decided to take the statement as a compliment. He smiled at her politely.
"It sounds like your mother is a smart woman." Considering she was probably gently chiding the girl, as he had done, it seemed like her mother normally did a good job of parenting. He wasn't quite sure why the guard - her father- was with her instead of her mother, though.
Then she had apologized and run off to the window - OK, thank crimson the small child hadn't been trusted with the money. He could easily see a youngling like that spending all of their money at once on candy and treats. He waited as Vaeron shoved his hands in his pockets and made his way inside, his bulky frame barely fitting through the door.
Hmm, a side note, need to expand that doorway. Need to make sure people of other races can get inside without hassle. Nevin filed the thought away for later, and smil d genially at the large man. When he had finished asking, Nevin glanced down and tallied up the quantity of candy that the child had dropped on the counter.
'This all would only be about twenty copper. Though, I should ask since it looks like she grabbed a mixture of what I have available - do you know if numbing agents have any kind of adverse affects on Fauns?" He separated a few out from the rest, his practiced eyes picking out which ones would make the consumer's mouth go numb.
"I ask only because a Fae child came in the other day and took some, and it had a radically different effect on him than on a human child." No need for Celandine's guardian to think he was plotting against the girl.
