"Nice talking with ya, ma'am," Justin sweetly said as he finished up his small talk with the trolley lady.

He then went over to the overhead compartment with no questions and took down Theodora's trunk. "Pumpkin pasties huh?" Justin said to himself. He grabbed one of the pumpkin pasties he bought earlier and devoured it in three bites.

"Not bad, not bad! Kind of reminds me of pumpkin pie in America. I can eat a whole pie of those," Justin began beaming with joy as he quickly devoured the other pumpkin pasty he bought.

He then took out a bag of what the lady described as cockroach clusters. "Cockroach clusters? I wouldn't be surprised if these were real cockroaches. Probably don't have to worry about disease and all that if you got magic to heal yourself," Justin chuckled.

The boy tossed a cockroach up in the air and caught it with his mouth. "Oh?" Justin reacted as he chewed on the snack with a loud satisfying crunch. "They're pretty good!"

Justin smacked his lips a couple of times as he finished chewing and swallowing the cockroach. "Yeah, I got a feeling they are real cockroaches. They taste amazing though. Who knew?"

Justin then turned to Neil. "Let me know if you want something. I bought a bunch of snacks if you change your mind later!"

WC: 224
@Theodora Green and @Neil McKenzie

Neil scrunched up his nose watching Justin eat the cockroach. He had reasons other than disease to not like the idea of swallowing a bug.

"There's no way that tastes good. All exoskeleton, no meat." Neil looked more closely at the snacks in the trolly realizing just how peculiar they all seemed to be. The pumpkin things Theodora had bought looked normal enough but the more gimmicky sweets concerned Neil greatly.

"They really eat all this? People choose to put-" He read the label on one of the boxes "acid drops in their mouth? Well no wonder wizards need magic if they're poisoning themselves with sweets. It can't be real acid, right? Is it just one of those real sour drops?"

Neil read more of the ridiculous labels. "Fudge Flies, Fizzing Whizzbees, Icemice. Well they're creative at least, aren't they?" Neil couldn't hide his intrigue as he took a closer look at the trolley, starting to pick items up, looking at them and putting them back, messing up the neat array.

"Is this for real? You eat this? Theodora, do you guys really eat this?" Of course, wizards were blatantly eccentric but this took it to a whole new level. Some of the items were safer to eat but Neil wasn't interested in those.

"Do these not destroy your digestive system? I'm honestly impressed. My brother can't even eat ice cream because of lactose intolerance." Neil emphasized the last part as if it was something made up. "And then there's wizards out here munching away at roaches and flies. Popping acid in their mouth like nothing." Neil smiled out of sheer awe. "Bloody sick."

He held a box in each hand but realizing he wasn't actually buying anything, put them both back, in the completely wrong spots. He twisted his mouth to the side, he really was curious about the strange sweets but he already had made a fuss about how he wasn't going to buy anything.

"Thank you." Theodora said to Justin, relieved he had helped her out. She opened her trunk and took out a pouch of coins.

Theodora's trunk was very organized. Books and school supplies on the right, clothing and personal items on the left. Theodora liked it when things were organized. It was a lot easier to find things this way.

Theodora got up and walked over to the trolley lady again. She searched in the pouch for the right coins and then paid the lady for the pumpkin pasties. She turned and chuckled when she saw Justin devour a pumpkin pasty he had bought earlier. She could not remember ever seeing anyone eat this fast.

Theodora moved her trunk aside so no one would trip over it, then she sat down in her seat. She looked at Justin again, who was now trying the cockroach clusters.

Theodora had never actually tried cockroach clusters, but seeing Justin's positive response to it she made a note in her head to try it sometime.

Theodora looked over at Neil and only now noticed he had scrunched up his nose. It was very clear Neil did not think cockroach clusters might be okay.

Neil now started picking up things from the trolley. Theodora thought he was overreacting a bit, but then again; this whole situation was new to him.

"Yes, Neil. We really eat that." Theodora said, but Neil didn't seem to be listening. He kept picking up things and commenting on the sweets.

Theodora stared at Neil, speechless.
