It did not help that she couldn't remember his name, either.

She forced a smile as she stacked one of the smaller, more dented bird cages. "Yes," she agreed quietly. "It's a hazard, especially when clumsiness runs in the family."

She straightened a few more cages, glancing at him from behind her blonde hair. She definitely knew him. He had dated one of her friends or dormmates or something, the kind of knowing someone where they were introduced once early on, she hadn't been paying enough attention, and by the time she realized she should learn his name, it was too late to ask. She knew it wasn't Jake. Jack? Maybe?? Considering how mortified she already was, she supposed it was worth asking now. "It's...Jack? Right?" she asked. "What brings you to the junk shop?"

If he noticed the color making its way onto her face, he didn't draw any attention to it. It wasn't a nice feeling, embarrassing oneself like that in front of someone you knew. Jack(son) had enough experience with it to be certain of this. "Those darn genetics," he laughed softly, hoping that his smile might help lessen some of her unease. Her smile, however, was not as unconvincing.

"Yeah," he nodded, his grin widening. With the way he kept switching back from Jackson to Jack to Jackson to Jack again, people had so much trouble knowing which it was from day to day that Jackson had grown quite accustomed to addressing the confusion early on in any conversation. It was for that reason alone that he didn't think much of her uncertainty. "It's good to see you, Honora." He wasn't great with a lot of things, but people? Names? Those were his strong suit. Especially when it came to the Slytherin girls in his year, he had quite intimate connections with most of them. Alis, Holly, Babs, and Jorgie. They were a special bunch - though it must have been chaos in that dormitory of theirs with all that personality bunched up together. Maybe he'd ask Honora about it if it ever came up - Babs and Jorgie certainly did not remember it fondly.

"Just browsing really," he answered in reply to her question, looking back around at the shop. "Actually, I don't think I meant to come in here at all. I, uh, I was trying to buy a gift for my girlfriend, but the display caught my eye. They really shouldn't be allowed to use so many colors, it's totally unfair." Again, he laughed as he reached to muss his hair. "Are you looking for something in particular? Anything I can help with?" Hopefully she wasn't here for bird cages, most of these were dented.
