Jane walked down the crowded busy streets of London. It had been a while since she had visited the city, probably before she had even started Hogwarts but now she was living here. It would take time to wrap her head around. She absolutely loved it though, being surrounded by the hustle and bustle and all sorts of different people from all over the world and even seeing historic sights. It was amazing. All she had been doing for the last three hours was exploring and she was still set to go for longer to see more of the wonderful city and partially because she didn't exactly enjoy living her new flat alone, she hoped she get over that soon enough because there wasn't really anything she could do about that.

Now I see the truth. I see your motives inside, decisions to hide. August was glad to escape the cramped apartment. He felt slightly bad for leaving Dani stuck with the two younger ones, but not enough to go back just yet. He yawned and rolled his shoulders, before fumbling in his pocket. First he pulled out a lighter, and he was searching for his pack of cigs when he ran right into somebody. "Oof" He said, looking up suddenly. He really needed to learn to pay more attention apparently. He rubbed the back of his head, and looked at the girl he had run into. "Sorry about that."OOC: Outfit in pictureBack off I’ll take you on.

Jane was lost in thought when she was hit with a hard force. Jane first thought that she had run into a wall, it would be just like her but she soon realized it was in fact a man. "Oh excuse me." Jane muttered looking down not wanting to make eye contact she was about to continue walking when she noticed a lighter in his hand. Was he coming out her to smoke. "You smoking is a disgusting habit you are going to get yourself killed." Jane practically gasped. Had she just said that out loud?! It a perfect stranger!? Of course all of it was true, her uncle and grandfather were both doctors and her dad had actually smoked before he had been with her mom so Jane had some experience with how gross it was but he was still a stranger. She didn't even know if he was coming out here to smoke. She felt like a complete idiot and didn't know what else to do but stand their looking at the man awkwardly.

Now I see the truth. I see your motives inside, decisions to hide. August was caught off guard as the young woman he had just run into immediately began reprimanding him for a habit she barely even knew existed in his world. He chuckled and twirled the lighter in between his fingers. "You know we haven't even properly been introduced and you're already trying to change my habits." He said with a smirk, slipping the lighter back into his pocket and lifting her hand to kiss the back of it. "August Morris." He said, introducing himself with a genuine smile. The girl had some major guts to practically yell at him for smoking, when he hadn't even found his cigs yet and had only been holding a lighter. He found it all to hilarious, chuckling again, he nodded to her. "And what is your name miss? Or shall I just call you that one girl who hates smoking? I think that's a bit long. Don't you?"

Jane gulped. Well at least he seemed friendly. Or maybe that was an act...maybe he was like a murderer or a rapist or something. She instinctively reached to make sure her wand was in her pocket in case she needed it later. It was there as always. "Sorry" She mumbled barely loud enough for him to hear. She was surprised when he kissed her hand she wasn't sure if she should be flattered or disgusted. It made her ten million times more uncomfortable when he laughed. "I'm..." She paused for a moment. What was she doing telling a complete stranger her name. "I'm Jane...Bennett" She lied. She wasn't exactly sure where Bennett had come from. It scared her a little bit when she realized it was Darcy's last name. Why was he her first thought? That wasn't important right now.

Now I see the truth. I see your motives inside, decisions to hide. August chuckled when she apologized at a barely audible level and then again as surprise registered on her face when he kissed her hand. She was quite the nervous one wasn't she. A smirk flitted across his lips and he shoved his hands into his pockets nonchalantly. "Jane is a lovely name... So why are you out and about this fine summer day?" He tilted his head slightly out of curiosity and his smirk widened. "Or are you only out to confront strangers about their disgusting habits?" He asked with a teasing tone to his voice. He knew he probably shouldn't tease someone he had only just met, but he couldn't help it. She seemed so innocent and it was fun to see her react. Maybe he was just a tiny bit of a prat, but it was amusing.OOC: Outfit in pictureBack off I’ll take you on. Headstrong to take on anyone

Jane laughed nervously. "Thank you" She said about the name, still not wanting to make eye contact. "Oh I've just been exploring the city, I just got a flat not far from here." She said nodding in its general direction. "I'm still not quite sure where everything is yet. I haven't been in the city recently" She thought for a moment "actually I haven't been much of anywhere I've been going to a private boarding school for the past few years..." She mumbled at the end. She was rambling. A complete stranger didn't need to know her past especially considering he was probably a muggle and wouldn't know anything about her school.

 I don't wanna be told to grow up
and I don't wanna change
I just wanna have funJer walked over to an empty portion of sidewalk. It was midday, and his usual time of the week to come out to try and get money. Placing a hat on the ground before him, he laid his box of tricks down beside it and got some things out. When he was finished setting up, he stood upon it, grinning and making sure to get as many people's attention as he could. "Ladies an' gents! I am Jeremy th' magnificent, here ta make yer day jus' a bit more magical. Please, gather round. Tha' way ya can see it better!" When a small crowd gathered, he grinned broader and started his show, the same show he performed every week in this spot. First, he produced a bouquet of flowers from midair for an older woman, who smiled and accepted them from him. Next, he managed to pull from someone's ear a handful of coins. Most of the tricks he knew were simple, but even he didn't know how some of them worked. The coin trick, for example, would usually disappear after a couple of minutes, which was fine with him. He really didn't want to use real coins for it. He then looked around. "All righ'! I need a volunteer from the audience. I got a particular trick fer th' dove tha' comes forward."-------------------------------------------

 Sakura Kiremono~Japanese Pure-Blood~Wife and Mother
and
Daniel Kiremono~Muggle~Father and Husband Sakura was out with her husband, just having a nice day out with him. Hearing a voice announce a magic show, she grinned. "Shall we see some sleight-of hand?" she asked David. He laughed. "I'll never get your love of fake magic," he said, slipping a finger into his waist pouch to rub Toffee's small head. The miniscule elf owl cooed. Drawing closer, Sakura frowned. Those tricks...they weren't muggle! When he called for a volunteer, she smiled and pushed forward. "Oh, me!" she said, laughing. Hopefully she was wrong, and his tricks were just very good sleight of hand, but if not...she'd need to step in.

I just wanna have funJer grinned as an older Asian woman stepped forward to volunteer. He smiled at the lady, and then laid a piece of paper onto the ground. "All righ' dove, jus' step onta th' paper, an' I'll make ya float in midair." It was yet another trick he had no clue how it worked, but it did. He'd argued with his science teacher over that one in school, and got a detention over it. He knew it worked, even if no one else did. He smiled politely and waited for her to step onto the small rectangle. -------------------------------------------

Sakura Kiremono~Japanese Pure-Blood~Wife and Mother
and
Daniel Kiremono~Muggle~Father and Husband Sakura stepped onto the paper, a sinking feeling in her stomach. This, if it worked, was no illusion. She'd have to find this boy's parents and explain things to them. Hopefully it was just the accidental magic of a muggleborn, but if he was actually controlling it, it had gone on for far too long. "Do I need to do anything?" she asked, peering around and waving her arms to 'check for strings'.

I just wanna have funJer shook his head at the woman's question. "Nope, yer cricket right there dove. Jus' hold still." He bent down to pick up the sheet of paper. With the action, he felt something he always did, which he usually attributed to something normal, at least for him. The paper, along with the woman, was lifted easily into the air. He then took the sheet of paper away, revealing the fact that the lady was hovering a good foot and a half above the ground. The audience clapped appreciatively, while he bowed to them. "An' tha's all withou' no wires or strings, folks. Definitely a trick worth performin'."-------------------------------------------

Sakura Kiremono~Japanese Pure-Blood~Wife and Mother
and
Daniel Kiremono~Muggle~Father and Husband Sakura had had Moblicorpus used on her a few times, enough to be able to identify the feel of the spell. Drat. She widened her eyes. "Oh, oh my! Let me down please!" she said, seeming startled. How could she get the boy away from the crowd? "I'll treat to lunch! But I want down now, please!" she tried.
