It was actually Nuria who alerted him to the presence of a customer, his own attention a bit too keenly focused on his instrument as it cut through the wood like a knife through hot butter, nearly nicking his finger from the sharp tug to the collar of his jacket. "We need to work on your people skills," he chuckled to the owl, bopping her head with his own forehead before glancing up over at the woman.....who was staring at him.

.......um?

Had one of the owls left some dropping in his hair again? He had a bit of a love hate relationship with that - one of the few non-wizard-made products he did not have a heart attack over touching his curls.

".....you all right there?" he inquired warily as he set his tools down, offering Nuria another quick glance while she ruffled her feathers.

People skills? Oh ... he was talking to the owl. Wake up Chloe. You're NEARLY thirty years old; not a bloody teenager anymore. She blinked a few times, nodding slowly, at his question, her mouth feeling quite parched.

Why was she here again? Oh right, because she didn't own an owl of her own and communication with family at Hogwarts was key. To be honest, she actually had no interest in owning her own owl ..... but that was besides the point.

Taking a step forward, the redhead nodded again, unsure really why but it was automatic. "I need to send a letter. Two letters." Oh good, she found her voice... see, not so difficult.
