She listened to what he wanted and ran through her inventory. "Oh, you have a daughter? Is she in school today? We'll definitely get her a good assortment," she said, walking over to the counter to get a container. "I can give you a sampler box, if you'd like, which means you can choose three, six or ten flavors and I'll give you small chunks of fudge in the tin here. It's a good way to taste a few things to determine what you like and don't, since few people like every flavor."
"For dark chocolate that's more bitter, I have several choices here," she told him, indicating the little cards marking each one. She studied him a moment and then shook her head. "Not that one because it has coconut. You don't strike me as a fan of coconut. For your daughter, I'd suggest the white chocolate or milk chocolate flavors. My sister is fourteen and loves the fruit flavors. Um, chocolate with orange or banana, etcetera. My brother is eleven and he prefers the fudge that have things added to them, like nuts and creams."

"She is not quite big enough, yet, for have school," Viktor said. "She is at her mother, which is not here, but she is back this evening. Perhaps, I am get chocolate, although often, when she is return, she is have," he paused. "This word is, exciting, with bounce? Very much. Chocolate is possibly not help for that." Then he grinned. "I am see. I get chocolate, and I promise, if she is have not bouncing with bath, then, there is chocolate." He nodded.
He laughed when she said he didn't look like a coconut lover. "No," he said. "I am think, coconut is belong on nothing, ever. But, yes, we are try ten. You choose. Some dark, some not. I am think milk, not this which, I think is not for actual chocolate? Some fruit or nut?"

She smiled. "Children seem to get more bouncy at night. You know, I actually have a wizarding fudge that has lavender and vanilla, which helps you sleep. It's not a potion and it's not dangerous or strong, but the flavors help with sleeping. You might get some of that to reward her and to also help her become less bouncy."
"I'd never sell anything to children that was dangerous," she added firmly.
She beamed. "I'm still learning how to read people's preferences, but I get lucky sometimes. We'll definitely keep coconut out of the tin," she promised. She looked at the display and considered what he wanted and then nodded. Using her wand, she brought a chunk of twelve different kinds, adding in two for free. Once the tin was filled, she added a piece of parchment with the flavors she'd added and put the lid on.
"There. All done," she said, handing over the tin with a smile. "You'll have to let me know what you enjoy and what you don't want again."

She named an amount and they traded, coins for tin.
He nodded. "It is new, at me, have small child each day. Much for new thing to remember, so today, new thing is, it is some kind chocolate for help calming. Is good to know, and perhaps if she is have much bounce, I will try." He smiled. "I am thank you for, Elo-ese," he said with a smile, "Is good to know.
He turned toward the door, noting the worsening of the weather, and glanced back. "I am hope, you are have very good first day," he said. "Is nice, to have place for some treat."
