He glanced towards a broom, which was the one she was talking about?

"Oh yes, very impressive." he just decided to agree. Eventually she'd probably pick up the broom she was speaking of. Or maybe that brand was the only one there. He glanced over, hell if he really knew. "Going to take it out for a test?" Maybe she'd tell him about it more. His eyes glanced towards the the brooms again, "I just don't get the concept of an invisible broom. Aren't there enough flying accidents?" In his opinion there were anyway.

How rude of him though, all this broom talk and he hadn't even introduced himself. Given a nice smile towards her, "Jorge Cristo De La Garza, by any chance would you mind giving your thoughts on today's events for an article? I work for the Daily Prophet." Just in case she didn't already know.
"If they'll let me," Nia replied brightly, her gaze returning to the Windsweeper momentarily, distracting her from the fact that her companion was clueless as to which one that might be. "I'm interested to know what the balance is like on it...my feeling is that the extra stability in the wind might come at a cost out of it." Possibly problematic for those wanting an all-round broom, but still perhaps a worthy addition to her kit for games in rough weather.

As for the invisible broom, wasn't he basically just repeating what she'd just said? Regardless, she nodded in agreement. "I have a few safety concerns, that's for sure. It doesn't encourage safe flying when nobody can see you...more likely the complete opposite. I assume patents have been thinking about that though." If they weren't, well that was a worrying state of affairs indeed.

As he introduced himself, Nia returned his smile. "Nia Newtington," she returned amicably. He hadn't given off vibes implying he knew who she was, so it seemed fair to return the favour. "It's nice to finally meet you." She ran a hand lightly through her cropped blonde hair, taking a moment to size him up now his identity was confirmed. "I'm not usually one for interviews, but I might make an exception for the fiance of my head bridesmaid."
