Stevie watched his prairie dog. It was normally outgoing, basically he just hoped that it wouldn't hop onto its shoulder or head. Or eat it. Stevie would surely hate that. But, all it did was stare right back, unwavering. It was braver than Stevie previously thought. Stevie grinned. They might actually be friendly. That was definitely a plus; his prairie dog was his best friend here. And if someone didn't like his best friend, then he doubted he'd be their friend anymore. Even though this girl was nice... Actually, she may be an exception. He'd have to tell further into time.

((Not a lot to reply to. But I'll make do.))
Tiria decided that Floyd was safe, and maybe even a friend. She reached out her raven-black paw, offering it to the prairie dog. She had seen her human doing the same thing, and thought that maybe the little thing they called Floyd who smelled of sunshine and dry grass would want to sniff her to make sure she was nice, too. Tiria, however didn't for one moment think the little thing would have enough pluck to climb up on her head.
((Haha! Little dare there.))

Floyd tilted his head slightly, and made his way up to her paw, sniffing it slightly. It blinked a couple of times, staring at her.Then, in the blkink of an eye, it jumped onto the paw, and rushed up to her head, laying there and watching from his newly-acquired perch. Floyd chirped contentedly and rested its head, now happy that he may have made a friend that wasn't a human.

Tiria blinked, surprised.
Kel grinned at her cat's momentarily stunned state. The feelings and pictures in her mind were that of bewilderment and confusion. But the cat put her head back down and closed it's amethyst-purple eyes, preparing for a nap. Kel laughed out loud at her cat's opinion. Tiria was sending happiness and the picture of a stove balanced on top of a cat's head. The picture was so funny, yet so true. That was exactly how Kel felt when Tiria slept on her pillow, and Tiria had thought it funny when Kel had thought/told her what it felt like.

Stevie laughed as well. But that laughing was cut short when he heard something rumble. Was it...? The faint smell of candy filled the air, and Stevie's eyes widened.
The trolley.
Immediately, he started fishing in his pockets for the money... Where WAS it?

Kel heard it, too, and started rummaging in her bag for her coin purse. She had a lunch packed, but her mother had said if she wanted to have dessert, she could buy it herself.
Kel pulled a brown lunch sack out of her bag, which obviously had an Enlargement Charm on it, and procured the leather coin purse from an outer pocket of the magical bag. She slipped to the door, sliding the door open. The cart was a couple of compartments down from theirs, so she sat near the door to wait.

Stevie kept fumbling in his pockets, and eventually pulled out a sack, and poured it out.
It was about thirty galleons, but Stevie didn't know anything about that.
"Yaay! Found it!" Stevie grinned, and slid closer to the door, leaning his guitar on the seat, careful not to mess with the tuning. Sure, he knew how to tune by ear, but he didn't want to mess it up. It meant more hassle for him.

Kel stared at the money Stevie had just poured out, then at Stevie, who was sliding toward the door. "Do you know how much money that is? Those are Galleons!" Kel didn't mean to be rude, but he was just walking around with a sack full of Galleons! And he probably didn't even know how much they were worth!
Although, I mean, Kel was no stranger to money, but Stevie just dumped a pile of gold out without a second thought! Like they were just pebbles or marbles!

Stevie tilted his head.
"So, those are a lot of money? My parents just gave me this and sent me off..." He shrugged, putting some back into the bag, and put it back into his pocket. When will this trolley come?
(You can rp the trolley... Person... >>)

Kel hid her shock that his parents would just send him off to Hogwarts with no knowledge of the Wizarding world-much less Hogwarts itself-and expect him to just find his own way aided by a brown bag of Galleons! But she didn't voice any of this, both because the candy cart was at their door and because she didn't want to make Stevie feel awkward. It wasn't his fault that his parents didn't seem to care enough about him to educate him in the ways of the world that they were shoving him into without a second thought.
"Anything from the trolley, dears?" The plump grey-haired woman asked. Kel stood up and went over to pick out her sugary dessert.

"Uhh..." Stevie looked at it, then picked out something that was probably LOADED with sugar. Stevie didn't mind. He loved sugar. He also got some of these... Every flavor bean things. Were they REALLY every flavor? He took one out, tried it, and instantly, he swallowed it and his eyes bulged.
Jalapeno flavor.

Kel quickly grabbed a pumpkin pasty and paid, sitting down. As the trolley clattered off, she glanced at Stevie. She almost choked at the look on his face. Then she started laughing so hard, that Floyd, who had until now been napping on top of Tiria's head, woke up and chirped angrily at all the noise.
Kel, however, couldn't stop her laughter from bubbling out. Stevie just looked too funny! She deduced that it was because of the small package of Every Flavor Beans in his hand which had elicited his hilarious expression.

Stevie quickly put the package down, and fell over, squirming on the seat. He coughed once. He could still feel it burning down his throat. As he sat up, he saw Kel laughing. He didn't mind. He quickly turned to the trolley person, and pointed at his throat. He quickly got a water, and practically plopped a galleon on top of a piece of pie. Of course, he got change back, but he just let it sit for now.
Five seconds later, the water was gone.
"I... Don't like... Spicy things..." He then grinned, and looked at the package.
"But I think I'll like these!" With that, he popped another one in his mouth.
His eyes bulged.
Jalapeno flavor.
The trolley lady knew it the instant she saw it, and plopped another water on his table, taking the appropriate coins. Stevie gave her a thumbs up and then fell over, once again squirming on the seat. he couldn't help but think: 'Deja vu?'

Kel laughed even harder when she saw the look on his face after the second Bean. She slumped back into her little nest, helpless with mirth.
Finally she got herself under control and opened her mouth to say something, but at the first glimpse of Stevie, she was off again, sniggering and giggling.
Once she had actually gotten herself under control, and so that when she looked at Stevie she wouldn't collapse into cackles of hilarity, she stuck her hand out. "Can I have one?"

After downing the water whole again, and the trolley lady leaving, Stevie placed another in her hand. Hopefully, this one wasn't jalapeno flavor, like the other ones. Stevie took one in his hand, but didn't eat it. He was wary about ti being ANOTHER one. Closing his eyes, he popped it in his mouth. He sighed with relief and slumped back in his seat. Chocolate flavor. He had completely forgotten about his piece of sugary dessert, but he was sure to chow down once the beans were finished.
