"Hello there," he greeted the boy, picking up his list of measurements so that he might consultant. "Ready to find your wand? Let's see here..." He ran a finger down the list of numbers, 'hmm'ing and nodding to himself as he did so. "Excellent. Give me just one moment."

And then he had stepped away again, but only briefly, taking down one of the wand boxes from a high up shelf and bringing it over. Zeke lifted off the lid, and offered the wand inside to the boy.

"You know what to do?" he asked. "Just give it a wave, and tell me what you think."

It was hard to be certain, but Zephyr liked to think he didn't imagine a chuckle besides his own resulting from his joke. And it WASN'T his mom this time, of that he WAS certain. So maybe there was someone else who appreciated his humor too!!!

Oh, but then- then the wandmaker guy appeared!!! This was it!!

Well, almost.

Zeph nodded eagerly and tried to wait patiently as he was gone again, rocking back and forth on his feet, and it seemed like both an eternity and five seconds before the nice wandmaker guy returned.

This was it? This was it! The moment was now!

He looked at the wand with awe for a brief moment. Then he took it, and it felt oddly cold to his touch. And when he waved the wand, a pitiful little snowflake appeared and then vanished just as quickly.

Hm....

"Um, I think...I think this one's not for me?" He set the wand back in the box. "I'm sure the next one will be good though!" He'd been hoping to get his wand on his first try, but alas, it was not to be. So second try was the charm!
