Daff finished up the bouquet and wrapped it in some brown paper for the trip back to Hogsmeade. Daff liked to believe the best in people and so she hoped she was right. Knowing what she did, it was harder than it had to be, but maybe things would work out in the long run. It was going to be bumpy for a little while at any rate, but she suspected the situation would be alright.
"Oh," Daff tried to play nonchalant about the cost question. She probably shouldn't have offered and put him in that position. He didn't know the Greengrass family had never once paid for flowers from her business and that wasn't about to change. Of course this was the arrangement she had with Noble, not Fortitude, so now she had to work her way around it. That last thing she wanted to do was embarrass him, or let him know that she knew about their financial situation. "They're charmed to last a while, once a month would probably suffice." It wasn't the answer to his question, but now she didn't know how best to skirt around the issue.
"It would depend on what the arrangements include, why don't you see how she likes these and we can go from there?" Daff held out the completed bouquet to him and smiled. "I'll have a better idea of what to make and how much it would cost." Dealings by owl were far easier to finagle, invoices "got lost" either in the shop or on their way back and forth.
