"I think she would like that very much, sir."

"Y'think?" The customer asked, holding up a semi transparent black nightee before him. And you'd think Hex Me Up! would only sell women's outer wear.

Colin clasped his hands behind his back and rocked slightly on his heels, giving him the usual bright smile. He wore a rather nice suit of deep grayish blue and orange, which Madam Lorelei made for him. He wondered why she hadn't made the store unisex -- she had the potential to make men's clothing, too.

The tinkling of the bell had soon caught Colin's attention, letting him know the presence of another customer. He had been a bit busy today, for his coworker had called in sick. Making his way down the aisle, he made his way over to the customer -- a woman this time, which was expected -- from behind. She looked rather lost already.

"Hello, welcome to Hex Me Up! Is there anything I can help you with, miss?"

"I...err..." The salesman had come out of almost nowhere. Padma smiled vaguely at the guy she was face with. There was a nagging in the back of her head that she should know this person, but for the life of her, she couldn't come up with a name. "I'm actually just looking for some summer weight robes."

Brows raised once the woman turned around, revealing someone who he has once attended Hogwarts with. He opened his mouth to say something, but nothing seemed to come out. Parvati? Yes, of course he thought it was her since it was the twin who was in the same House as him. Colin covered up his brief speechlessness with one of those charming smiles salespersons would give to their customers.

"Ah, excellent," he said. "They're right here, over at the front." Colin gestured towards the front of the store before he moved in that direction where a good variety of robes to choose from. "We have a Sale, y'know. Beginning of the Summer Sale. Any colors you had in mind? Style.. There're these new robes for those who aren't exactly into summer wear that boost the effect of the cooling charm, if you're interested."

He had this urge to confirm the identity of this familiar brunette, but he'd have to wait for the right moment.

"Um, I don't really have any colors in mind. I don't know much about fashion," Padma said, biting her lower lip as she looked over at robes on the rack. She had always really had Parvati help her pick out her robes before. She didn't even know which colors wouldn't clash with her complexion. "They're for my job, though, so I'd prefer something a little more conservative than...what's really on display."
