Gideon nodded in regards to the "fancy" wands. He didn't wield one himself, never had really. His first wand had been a rather simple one and he still missed it at times. But.. he'd been rather meticulous in crafting his current wand and was quite pleased with the wand he currently carried. It had been one of his first using a mermish core. They were interesting cores truth be told and he had started carrying a variety of them after he'd made his own. Especially using cores he'd gotten himself from the mermaids in the Black Lake.
"Don't worry, lad," he said with a good natured chuckle, "They'll find something I'm sure. And when they do, all with be right as rain and we can go back to living how we always have. I'll tell you this much though, I've a new respect for muggles surviving in this life without the use of magic."
He glanced at the bucket Billie was indicating to and gave a slight shrug. "I suppose that would be good for it," he said, clearly having not thought about it in such a regard, "Come with me, I'll show you were you can put it." Getting up from his stool, he smirked at the sight of Adonis now sleeping under a table with the dead mice tucked under his paws as if they were being cuddled against him. He headed into the back of the shop once he knew Billie was following him and pointed him in the direction of the wood stove that helped to heat the place. "You can just put the bin there," he said as he pulled some cold cut meats and cheese from a small icebox he kept down in the back room before turning back to the boy, "Hungry Billie?"
