Nailah smiled. "Thank you!" she said. She happened to be really fond of her name, too. It was a good reminder of where she'd come from. In the few seconds that passed, Nailah could tell Lexi was giving her the once-over. She even thought about joking around and striking a pose. The shopkeeper laughed. "I don't even know if I'm going to have enough willpower. Sometimes I question myself." Then on cue, her gaze drifted to a nearby display of Jelly Slugs. They looked really inviting.

She watched as her co-shopkeeper's basket began to fill. "Well, thank you! I'll make sure to direct my customers over to your shop, too," she said. They should have some big event together at some point. It'd be fun! "Changes?" she questioned along. Interesting. "So what's the big plans? Or is it a secret?" Nailah wasn't even sure she'd know the difference one way or the other. She wasn't from here, and since she'd only gone to Hogwarts for one year, this hadn't been her usual go-to place school shopping.

Not just her, then. But, still. Lexi gave Nailah, -"That's a pretty name!"- a once over, impressed. If she was enough like Lexi as she hinted at being, Nailah had more willpower in her tall, slender frame than anyone Lexi had ever met before. Including, her own father-in-law, who was Mr. Willpower. "I don't think I'd have that much willpower even if you combined three of me..." Case in point, the fact that Lexi's basket was getting noticeably fuller, even on the short walk to the lollipops. "Oh, these will be perfect! I'll get maybe just one pound for now and stop back in for more later. And I'll definitely tell my customers where they can get more of them." So, Nailah was new too. Just like Lucy at the Leaky Cauldron and Evan at Magical Menageries, and of course, Lexi herself. That was curious. Did something chase off the previous owners? Oh well, our gain right? "I haven't met that many yet myself, you know, busy in my shop, planning out changes and such, but so far, everyone I've met have been amazing. Super friendly." Present company included.
