Yes, she knew about fashion – it was also easy to tell that his jeans were levis but it didn’t negate the fact that he was saltier than a saltlick. That was a feat, saltlicks were notoriously all salt. ”…are you trying to be intimidating?” she asked as she looked at him ”that usually works better when you’re taller than the person you’re trying to intimidate” yes, she might have been trying to deflate that situation a little bit.

Ink she’d said the wrong word, ”yeah edible ink…like food colouring – I forgot the word for a bit…” she grinned at him at that moment almost feeling like her own heckles (or scales) had finally settled. ”okay…” reaching into her pocket she moved to pull the bag of gumballs out to offer him one only to have the bag tear and every single gumball slip through the hole in her pocket.

plunk plunk PLUNK it was like the gumballs were playing their own game of plinko. Looking up at him she simply laughed, ”okay, fine…you’ve got me – there’s a hole in my pocket that I didn’t know about” she grinned at him for a moment only to laugh again as he asked about the name.

Was he worried about it being a girls name? ”oh…it’s my da’s surname? Or well…it was he’s sort of” she reached her finger up and dramatically dragged it across her throat pantomiming death in the only way she truly knew. ”I never met him so don’t say you’re sorry he was according to my mum an egotistical blithering idiot” she shrugged and looked at the boy.

”I don’t think it matters in wizarding families…girly names or masculine ones my own cousin is named Puck…and she’s like a business woman now owns a bar and everything” she added and a little twinkle of admiration filled her eyes – yes, she loved her and wanted to be just like her.
