Each answer was very frank and straight forward, with little explanation aside from telling her about where the fidget spinner had come from. That was something she could get on board with, given she had grown up with her mother always speaking very frankly with her, even as a young child. Straight and to the point so it was easier to understand. The snake gave a curious tilt of her head and a small shrug, "I've never heard of it..." truthfully, there were a lot of Muggle things she hadn't heard of, her knowledge of the Muggle world being very slim aside from some pop culture things here and there that constantly came up. Like Mickey Mouse and something called a smart phone; but the details of what it was or meant were beyond her.

"I've never been to America. My friend says there's a place there with made up magic though called Disney... Place? Disney Park? The place with a giant mouse." she explained, slightly sheepish. Illowy didn't like talking about what she didn't know, feeling like it made her look ignorant; granted, she was ignorant when it came to such things, "What does a fidget spinner do?"

//Im sorry for inactivity I was actually in New York//

"I've never heard of it." She said, tilting her head. He listened to the rest of what she had to say. "...Disney...Place? Disney Park? The place with a giant mouse."
Cosmo grinned. "Disney Land, Disney World." He corrected her. "What does a fidget spinner do?" Cosmo answered Illowy's question with the strange way he spoke that had almost no tone to it. "It just spins on your finger." He then rethought the popularity of the fidget spinner. All it did was spin, why was it such a big rage? It was kind of cool either way, and it kept him busy. Illowy clearly had almost no knowledge of the 'muggle' world, he figured she didn't have No-Maj parent. Cosmo got both a witch and a No-Maj in his family. The term 'muggle was still weird to him. It felt like an insult. No-Maj was better, that's what his dad called himself. Cosmo always felt like it applied to him, but then reality said he was a wizard. He sure didn't feel like one. He didn't know any spells yet, he didn't know anything about the wizarding world, and he felt so out of place.

you're totally fine! No worries!

"Right," she smiled sheepishly, a hand reaching to awkwardly rub the back of her neck, "Disney World. My friend Isaac, he's got Muggle parents, he was telling me about it last year. I was going to try to see if m'mum might take us there for summer holiday, but..." she gave a small shrug. Ever since the incident when her cousin had attacked a couple of his own housemates, including Isaac, and Illowy took seeing to her cousin over seeing to her friends, Isaac had been avoiding her. She supposed she couldn't blame him for being upset, but she liked to think if he had only understood that she had to look after her family, that her cousin was going through a rough time, maybe he would have understood, "We had a bit of a fight, I guess you could say."

The girl furrowed her brow a bit as the lad explained that the strange toy did nothing but spin on one's finger, "That's all?" it must've been a Muggle toy. She couldn't imagine anyone with access to magical toys being that entertained by something so simple. Certainly though, she didn't want to offend the boy; he seemed to have been having a rough enough day as it was.

"I suppose I sort of get it." Illowy spoke thoughtfully, producing her wand from her pocket. The snake loved her wand since the moment she received it; warm colored wood with intricate vines and leaves carved into the handle, and a delicately crafted rose bud at the end. She always thought it was fitting to her. Nimbly, the girl started spinning the mayhaw wand through her fingers, smiling at the boy, "I like spinning everything through my fingers. Helps me think."

"I like spinning things everything through my fingers. Helps me think."
Cosmo nodded. "Me too, I guess." He shrugged. He then turned his attention to her wand. The pattern looked like rose vines, and it was a warm color, like a soft fire. "Thats a cool wand." He fished in his pockets and then pulled out his wand. It was fairly long, but a couple centimeters shorter than Illowy's rosy wand. Cosmo studied his wand, he hadn't really ever looked at it before. It was too strange. His life was like a fantasy book, with all the wizards, wands, and magic.
His wand was ash wood, but much darker than ash wood typically is, like a dark grey with a wooden table texture. it had some ridges near the end, like hills. There was a small star carved into it, it was lonely in the middle section of his wand. "Mine's pretty simple. I like your's better, it's more interesting." Without making eye contact with Illowy, he moved closer to get a better look at her wand, then he stepped back. "The vines are cool." He looked at Illowy for a moment, then turned his attention to something, anything else.

Illowy gave a slight tilt of her head as his gaze moved to her wand, ceasing the spinning to allow him a better look at it, careful to keep her fire scared hand covered by as much of the sleeve of her robe as she could, "Thank you. I'm quite partial to it myself." she smiled. Her eyes fell to his hands as he dug through his pockets before producing his own wand.

It was simple and surprisingly muted, with distinct rings left from the bit of tree it had been carved from, with a delicate, lone star resting at the heart of it's handle. Though while Cosmo might've seen the little star as lonely, it took Illowy's mind to the North Star, "Interesting means nothing with a wand. What's important is functionality." she explained, "But thank you. I like yours too. You have the North Star on it." she pointed out.

"Which is fitting for you. I think everyone's wand reflects them a bit. Mine's rose, which can pretty, but it's thorny and dense, and you have to decide if the thorns are worth the flower." she spoke thoughtfully, "Yours, you is faithfully where it needs to be, and you can trust it to help you find your way to where you need to go." the older girl explained, "It doesn't need to be told if its right or wrong, it knows its exactly where its suppose to be. I'll'be'cha you trust in that wand, it'll take you exactly where you're suppose to be."
