Surprised at the almost apologetic tone and the insistence that she take the original bulb, Cecilia turned to look at him, only to find that he had actually taken a step back as if he had burned himself. Sirius Black. There was no mistaking that face, and she had seen him around the Settlement a couple of times, had heard the talk and rumours about him, though had neither seen nor experienced anything from him that made her think him any sort of threat to any of them. That would require actual interaction, and since she had had none, she saw no reason in distancing herself from him.
"Don't be silly," she smirked and picked up the 'potato' in question, holding it out for him to take. "You were faster, and I have it on good authority that this one," she picked up her second choice of bulbs, "is every bit as good as that one." Tilting her head slightly she looked up to meet his eyes, trying to gauge his reaction, once again wishing that people were as easily catalogued as plants were. Unfortunately, they were not, and this one was one of the harder ones to read.
