One of the shop assistants had taken notice, but couldn't immediately get around the bustling queue at the till. So Bragi, in a rare moment of quick action, whipped out his wand and performed a shield charm on the mice heading for the door. Most of them were thereafter trapped in the bubble, but a few were still scampering loose and would need rounding up!
He was quite sure the little girl was right — the charm would ware off soon. But he couldn't help but think it was an unnecessarily strong charm.
"Oh, quick — grab that little pipsqueak before she runs under the shelves!" he advised the girl, pointing to a mouse making a run for it, as another couple of customers stopped to help.
Between the lot of them, the Great Mouse Escape of 1889 was averted. Once the fuss had died down, Bragi chuckled about it with the little lass for a while longer, before, under her expert advisement, he finally selected a sweet.
He did not go for the chocolate mice.
-fade out!-
