His expression softened at the confirmation, but that was the extent of his display of sympathy. Fifteen galleons for a single pearl earring? Perhaps for the set of them, but unless there was underlying value that he wasn't aware of—and he did hope, just for a second, that there was, given his possession of the other one—it shouldn't have been sold for more than eight, maybe nine.
And yet, looking down in the glass, it was being sold for a whopping twenty galleons. Raphael cast a dubious look at Splitters, who was already looking at him. "I said I might be able to get he fifteen," Splitters refuted indignantly, "But she took accepted the final offer of seven when it was presented to her."
Even if Raphael had actively thought Yaxley was lying he would have thought he sounded uncertain and defensive.
"And yet you sell it for twenty," Raf challenged, brows raised.
