And this one was no exception as he handed her a piece of candy. She smiled happily at him and took the candy from him. Mia didn't need to study the candy to know what it was, she had seen these ones before. Belatedly she realised he was talking to her. "Oh. Miss Mia. I mean Miss Gibbins. My first name is Mia." She looked up at him unabashed by her fumbling and smiled, "And what should I call you?"
"Mia Gibbins" he said, repeating it slowly, making sure he'd never forget the name that goes with such an exquisite face.
Alright this is good! he thought as he turned his back on the gumball machine, completely forgetting what he came there for.
"Well, its a pleasure to meet you Mia. The name's Str... uh--Salander. Yeah. Just call me Salander." he responded, flashing the most charming grin he could muster and held out his hand.
His eyes flicked at the line starting to form behind them. He took Mia to the side to let the others get their turn at the gumball machine.
"So Mia, what brings you around here? Shopping for something?... or someone...?" Quote:

She looked around at everyone else, trying to catch their eye.

"Oh, yes, sorry! I'm Muggleborn you see, this is all kind of new to me." She gave a little giggle and a warm smile. "I'm Sapphinelle! I feel a bit stupid buying candy but I might as well, it reminds me of home so much! I came all the way from America." Saphi, you're doing it again, she thought. She ALWAYS talked so much!
Salander's ears perked up on hearing the word "America".
Ah a fellow patriot. he thought as he gently segued his way into the young girls' conversation
"You're American? Where from? I'm a California bum myself" he said breaking into an easy smile.
