...prime numbers, Sirius?

[At least it's interesting.]

[alwaysimpure]

Hm? Ah, yeah, I'm used to it. Where I come from there are 17 Sickles in a Galleon, and 29 Knuts in a Sickle, meaning there are 493 Knuts to a Galleon. Makes more sense, I reckon.

[bifroster]

Interesting. I'd like to be able to convert that to our system, which is based off of tens for the most part.

How much does a pound of apples cost? That might be a good start.

[alwaysimpure]

Er.

I've not really been in the position to buy anything for about a year and prices went all over the board during war times. But usually a galleon was about £23, if I recall right.

[bifroster]

Oh, wow... that would be about $30 for me. Talk about having major coinage.

[alwaysimpure]

They are gold coins, so I s'pose it's appropriate. But mostly only sickles and knuts are used in everyday purchases.

[bifroster]

...that would make it a lot more valuable if you sold it simply for being gold. How much are those other coins, then?

[alwaysimpure]

Doesn't work like that, it's magical and not pure gold.

Love, I've not exactly spend much time converting to muggle money. Could calculate it, I reckon, but there's a reason I didn't take Arithmancy.

[bifroster]

[That earns a laugh.]

Sorry, just curious about it all.

[alwaysimpure]

I've never thought all that much about money, I'm afraid.

[bifroster]

Really. Wish I was able to do that, even for a month!

[alwaysimpure]

My family's wealth is legendary. Lot of good it does anyone right now.

[bifroster]

Oh, it's something like that. Well, you're a lot nicer than some of the rich people in my world.

[alwaysimpure]

I've been disowned, maybe that helped.

[bifroster]

Oh. I'm sorry about that.

[alwaysimpure]

About that? You really shouldn't be, that's the best bloody thing that ever happened to me.

[bifroster]

Well. If you say so. I've just always wish I was closer with my relatives.

[alwaysimpure]

Wait until you've met my brother, you'll understand.

[bifroster]

Yikes. I take it he's your complete opposite?

[alwaysimpure]

He's just...

Let's say, from my parents' point of view, he's the good son. Also from my parents' point of view, you'd be member of an inferior species that shouldn't even be allowed to breathe the same air as us.

[bifroster]

[She gives him a look that is a mixture between offense and disbelief.]

May I have permission, should I ever meet them and they make such a comment, to verbally rip their arguments and opinions to pieces?

[alwaysimpure]

...if you let me disarm and petrify them first, sure.

[bifroster]

You're more than welcome.

[Jane is all for equality and punching those who think themselves better than someone else.]

[alwaysimpure]

My brother isn't all THAT bad, though.

...well, he'll learn, anyway. I'm educating him.

[With his fist.]

[bifroster]

A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. Just remember that, okay?
