"COME ON!" he yelled; "It'll be worth it. I promise!!"

A few moments later, Nora was standing adjacent to him- arms on her waist- shoulders back, string at Nexus with wide open in shock.
"WAIT- what?!!" unbelief curled right out of her tongue; "THIS GRASS?!"
Nexus- both eyes glazing, nodded excitedly. His head bobbed up and down as he gestured with frantic movements of his hands:
"Yep, this is it, this is the one. With this grass, we can turn around around your family's fortune. . ."
Under her curly lashes, her blue eyes kept darting back and forth, looking at the foot tall weeds swaying in the wind- searching for something divine about it.
"Are you sure?" She asked quietly: "I mean, it looks pretty ordinary to me."
Swiftly, Nexus dove into marketing mode;
"Have I ever lied to you Nora? Since that day we met in the forest, chasing the silver fox, have I ever been anything but truthful to you?"
