When she saw who it was, she blinked and managed to collect herself before she looked a fool. But fucking hell, it was Viktor Krum, in her shop! She smiled a friendly 'you're just a normal customer and not a famous, attractive Quidditch star at all' smile and said, "Good morning. Welcome to Just Desserts."

He looked around. "You have, you are bring in, chocolate, which is out of Europe? Or you are make yourself?" She looked as though she had a few minutes to talk, and the shop wasn't busy, so conversation seemed reasonable.
"And, I am forget, manner. I am Viktor." He held out his hand. He thought it was clear she already knew that, but for one thing, it was possible he'd misinterpreted the blink, and for another, people didn't always volunteer their own names when they already knew his.

She listened to him carefully and shook her head. "Actually, I make all the chocolate myself and many of the sweets. I do export particular sweets that I can't make," she said, motioning towards the display of brand name sweets, "but the chocolate is all mine. Is there anything in particular you're looking for? I have a few trays of samples, if you'd like to try them."
"Oh, how rude of me. Standing here chattering on without even introducing myself," she said, reaching for his hand. "Eloise Midgen. It's nice to meet you, Viktor."

Perhaps, I am get chocolate, although often, when she is return, she is have," he paused. "This word is, exciting, with bounce? Very much. Chocolate is possibly not help for that." Then he grinned. "I am see. I get chocolate, and I promise, if she is have not bouncing with bath, then, there is chocolate." He nodded.
He laughed when she said he didn't look like a coconut lover. "No," he said. "I am think, coconut is belong on nothing, ever. But, yes, we are try ten. You choose. Some dark, some not. I am think milk, not this which, I think is not for actual chocolate? Some fruit or nut?"

He nodded. "It is new, at me, have small child each day. Much for new thing to remember, so today, new thing is, it is some kind chocolate for help calming. Is good to know, and perhaps if she is have much bounce, I will try." He smiled. "I am thank you for, Elo-ese," he said with a smile, "Is good to know.
He turned toward the door, noting the worsening of the weather, and glanced back. "I am hope, you are have very good first day," he said. "Is nice, to have place for some treat."
