It happened again. Something inside him shifted. 'He.' Why did Quinn feel so icky because of it? He (ugh) frowned a little, then looked back up at the boy in front of him. "Yes... you're right. Maybe I'll learn to like it." Maybe Quinn could learn to like it.

Trying to push forward in the conversation, Quinn shook his head. "No, I haven't been. I was thinking about going in, but..." Quinn figured it would be embarrassing to say I didn't know if the candy would come alive, or if one would be hexed and I would eat it and turn into a snail, so he just went with, "I decided against it." His cheeks turned a light shade of pink.

Quinn smiled at the boy's name. "Atlas. Like from Greek mythology. He holds up the heavens. I like it." Quinn held out his hand for the boy to shake. "I'm Quinn. It's very nice to meet you."

Atlas nodded once more and decided to shove his hands into his pockets, dropping the coin there as well. He may end up saving this additional coinage for when he went pet shopping. He had high aspirations there, something unusual to help him stand apart from his brother again. But before he allowed himself to get pulled into the fantastical thoughts that would manifest into his familiar later on, he shifted his blue eyes back on the boy his age and nodded. "Kind of like when you reach for a glass thinking it is water but it turns out to be something...not water." He wasn't even sure WHAT had been in dad's goblet that night but it most certainly had NOT been water.

Anyway, as long as this bloke didn't go for pickle flavoring he should be okay.

"How come?" The blonde titled his head to the side and observed, as though the answer and reason were written in the boy's shadow. Which, according to how it was stretched and cast upon the ground gave him a good idea of what time it was and how much time he had left before he needed to head back and find his family. Namely his brother and sister. Andromeda wanted to show them something really unique here in the Alley and he had no idea what that was but if she thought it was special...then it was.

"By proxy...yeah..." Finds himself looking down at his feet and his hand curling up into a ball inside his pocket. But does his best to let the moment past, to not let his 11-year-old resentment manifest itself too prominently. He had to be the rock, the pillar, the Atlas, for his brother. "...but...more like after 27 Tauri. A multiple star system located in the constellation Taurus. One of the brightest members of the Pleiades." He paused a moment and realized just how...odd this probably sounded. No one he knew, save for his dad, talked like this. Atlas feigned a bit of embarrassment for this knowledge. "...my dad is the Astronomer Royal...used to be the Professor of Astronomy at Hogwarts...and currently is the department head for Mysteries over at the Ministry of Magic. Myself, my brother, and my sister all have named pulled from the field." The mythology angle was more from mom, a former Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts.
