Gideon nodded with a smile. "Yes, seeing the first years is always a joy," he said with a brightness to his eyes at the thought, "It's quite the experience to watch the wand choose it's match and to see the excitement on the child's face." There was actually nothing quite like it, of that he was sure.
"And you're quite right," he said with a chuckle, "I'll take mobs of incoming first years over the fog any day. I've got more ornately carved wands than I'll likely ever know what to do with as a result" Truthfully, he'd probably never need to carve another wand the entire time he ran the shop. There were surely more than enough to see him through unless someone were to come in with a specific request though such a thing was really quite rare.
"Three knuts should do it, Miss Lynch," he added with a nod.
