What did catch his interest? Books, cubes, owls, nice hair and eyebrows, sweets, printed socks. It was a list that Nina probably knew by now since they'd spent quite a lot of time together at Hogwarts, not including that one time she used his shirt (that he was wearing, mind you) to blow her nose. "I-It was more of if you found something interesting in th-that magazine, Nina...." Because he wanted to know what she thought, as he wasn't even a reader of Witch Weekly.

And with her permission, he gladly took a seat beside her, placing the paper bag on the floor between his feet. "What b-brings you here today?" Surely she didn't come all the way to the Alley from Alicante to simply read her copy of Witch Weekly, yes?
She liked that he was a blushing mess. It was a good look on him. However, she wouldn't say these nice things without warrant, as it would mean admitting to thinking these thoughts without any solicitation. And while Nina Castillo very much cared about what others thought of her, she also did not want to give out compliments willy nilly. It would make her too much like Juliette. Someone who, while very beautiful, ought to withhold some of her sunshine, lest it drain her entirely dry.

AnD FOr the record, she looks at that time (re: that time she used his shirt as her snot wipe) VERY fondly. It was the first time they met. The first person she connected with. The first person who would unwillingly give her his shirt to use as a snot wipe. That time spoke highly of his character and she wouldn't change it for the world. And yes, she did notice his shirt. She payed a lot of attention to stylistic choices. His, by the way, were improving. But this wasn't the point, the point was that Drewett Slinkhard was asking for Nina's opinion. "Oh," the girl gave him a surprised sort of look. She was... confused? It made her go silent in thought for a moment, as if to decide whether she did find anything interesting. But really, it was in deciding whether or not to admit that she didn't.

"I like looking at the pictures," was the answer she decided to go with. A) It wasn't a complete lie B) It wasn't a complete truth. Her gaze followed his paper bag with curiosity, giving him a tilt of her head when they made eye contact again. "My mother had to meet a client in London, she thought it would be nice for me to visit with friends." But Nina didn't have friends, so she was visiting a bench instead. "What's in your bag?" she grinned curiously, her legs swinging freely beneath her.
