The kid got props for staying up, though. No falling yet, and that was impressive.

The fact that a nod set off the kid wobbling again almost made Józef laugh, but he reigned it in because he just KNEW that he would fall, and he could not risk EMBARRASSING himself in the middle of the alley, or WORSE - injuring himself before he even started Hogwarts. There would be no hope in trying out for the Quidditch team if that happened.

Instead, he grinned easily back. "Obviously," he agreed. "Sitting is totally for losers." Like his sister.

Merlin. Spencer almost regretted attempting this balancing act. Almost. Because, as he'd already claimed - out loud and to everyone within earshot - doing this was the cool option, so no way was he ever going to be seen sitting normally in a chair. Maybe that would cause problems later, but you know. Future problem.

Anyway, he'd sort of got the hang of it now, give or take a wobble here and there, and that was enough to keep him grinning. He didn't attempt to nod again, though, mostly because he didn't want to risk his reputation by falling. "My name's Spencer" he announced to the other boy, and risked puffing his chest out even given his precarious position. It was worth it. "And I'm incredibly cool."

The request for the other boy to introduce himself in return was implied... somewhere... in his statement. Spencer wasn't entirely self-centred. Only mostly. He still took some interest in others, especially when they seemed almost as cool as he was.
