Have another Hogwart's wizard, though Justin is far more extroverted than the other she's met. His bald head is bent over a piece of material on his lap, sewing a hem in the vibrant fabric. He's barefoot, and actually dressed conservatively, for him, save the lip gloss shining his mouth, and mascara making his eyes pop.

[rubberbaby_bump]

She'll come up alongside him, watching him at work. He's quite pretty, finer-looking than some women she's met, and she's impressed with his work.

Justin looks up at the stranger and flashes her a bright smile. "Hiya! We haven't met yet. I'm Justin," he introduces himself, and once he's secured the needle, he'll offer her a handshake. He notices she's middle-aged, at least to him, given he's in his early 20s, but he also notes she's damn hot considering. He smiles at her hair in approval. "Lordy, doll, that's some gorgeous hair!"

[rubberbaby_bump]

She blushes and looks away, modestly. "Thanks," she says. "My ex told me it was the first thing that attracted him to me." Then looking to his sewing, she asks, "Are you a designer or do you just make your own clothes?"

[justin_out]

Justin considers that question thoughtfully. "I wouldn't call myself a designer. I'm too apt to borrow from what I see in media," he admits with a grin. "But learning to sew was necessary since I can't easily shop for myself in a store." Another grin. "I haven't found a drag department in Macy's or Harrods yet."

[rubberbaby_bump]

She might blush a bit. "Yeah, I'm afraid there's a lot of places that are...behind the times when it comes to drag," she says. "You perform, or is this your lifestyle or a little of both?"

[justin_out]

"Hmm, I think I perform because it's my lifestyle? It's an excuse to dress up, not that I need one," Justin explains with a smile. "It's not as if I wish I were a woman. I just enjoy the clothes, and don't think its fair that I'm not supposed to wear them simply because I'm male." He looks intently at Vivien. "I could make you some fabulous maternity wear?!"

[rubberbaby_bump]

She blushes a bit, hopping she didn't cross any lines. "I'd love that: I've gotten a few things out of the magic cupboard, but they were more practical than stylish," she admits. "The house doesn't have a lot of taste, it seems."

[justin_out]

Justin would assure her he's not offended in the list. He'll gladly answer genuinely curious questions any time over rude stares, glares and insults. "Oh, doll, let me take your measurements, and I'll whip you up some fantastic style!" His eyes are dancing at the mere prospect. "I wanted to open a boutique one day," he admits.

[rubberbaby_bump]

"I'd love that!" she says. "Just, make sure you leave plenty of room in the waist: I'm having twins, so it's a little crowded inside."

[justin_out]

"Oh, I'll keep that in mind, but if you outgrow it, I'll make you something else," Justin coos, thrilled with the prospect. "Mind if I put my hands on you, so I can get an idea of size?" He'll just use his palms, his way of quickly taking measurements without tape, but he's also fairly accurate when eyeballing sizes. Still, she's expecting and he doesn't trust his judgment without measuring.

[rubberbaby_bump]

"Oh, go right ahead, I don't mind: I've been poked and prodded plenty by my doctors," she says, standing up and letting him take the measurements. It's nice to have someone fussing over her this way.

[justin_out]

"Oh, honey, I'm not going to be getting that touchy," Justin giggles. His hands splay across one hips, thumb to thumb, and he repeats it all around her, until he has the total number of hands. "You're a little thing, except for that tummy," he grins.

[rubberbaby_bump]

"Yeah, I work out quite a bit: it helped me keep my head together during some tough times," she says. "I did yoga for a while, then switched to pilates."

[justin_out]

"Ohh! Maybe we could do yoga together? That would be fabulous! After the babies get here, we'll get you back in shape in no time!" Justin enthuses.

[rubberbaby_bump]

"That would be great!" she says, smiling. Chatting with him like this gives her a sense of home in this strange place: it might be a small thing, but he's helping her to plan ahead.
