See, she made the best decision by not choosing a turban, though. Otherwise she'll look plain, and that wasn't the desired effect, was it?
Hmm? He looked up at the girl, not recognising the face. He was sure he would have remembered hair like that. He shook his head, his hands hurriedly rushing to either side of his turban to steady it as his did so. "As much as I'd like it to stay now," he said, carefully letting go once more, and brushing some more curls from his eyes, "I'd also like to be able to remove it again later." And he certainly didn't trust his spell work to allow for those circumstances. Ellie hadn't yet covered sticking charms with him, and he didn't want to the only time he managed a permament sticking charm to be the time he was trying to keep a turban less than permanently on his head. He gave the girl a crooked smile. "So, balancing act it is."
Which at least could distract him from his other ridiculous clothes, and his lack of Seeing skills which were bound to be required soon-ish.
He glanced up at his turban almost warningly, before returning his gaze to the girl. "I'm not sure we've met," he said, tilting his head slightly backwards to try and prevent the now almost inevitable turban-over-eyes scenario. "Spike Hutchinson, Ravenclaw." With that, he slowly outstretched his hand to be polite.
Turban, stay.
