𝙻𝙾𝙲𝙰𝚃𝙸𝙾𝙽 : muggle london, specifically an autoshop !
his hands are filthy. the rag that he's using to wipe them isn't THAT much better, either, but it's more of a way to keep his hands moving than it is an attempt to rid himself of all the grease and grime. he really looks the part he plays at as he approaches the waiting room comprised of two chairs and an empty water dispenser, from the overalls he wears to the scowl he has set in place - but he's got a long way to go before he gets to appropriate customer service voice. "who's next ?" the greeting ( if it could be called that ) did leave something to be desired, but he's barely given their singular customer a chance to respond before he's tacking on at the end, still with the voice more closely aligned with a grunt, "what's your problem ?"
bill was the sort of man you would expect to see in a mechanics shop, carrying with him a sort of rugged look and blue-collar charm that he could never quite shake. there’s an easy grace to him, even while slumped in the tiny waiting room chairs with his hands tucked in the pockets of his jacket. he points, with the hand still tucked in his pocket, at the beat-up ford cortina sitting in the drive. ❝ less a problem, more of a PROJECT iʻm looking for some help with. a late father’s day gift, so to speak. ❞ he explains when prompted, lazily getting up to meander his way over and leans against the rusted hood. ❝ heard that you might be able to provide the sort of…specialized help that this poor girl is needing. ❞ more than just a helpless case, the car in and of itself was likely to be inoperable without a little bit of magical assistance. so many years removed from the original family car, the rules around enchanting muggle objects have grown more lax of late, what with the ever-growing popularity of things like phones and electricity. as such, bill had no issue seeking out help, even if it was to the ministerʻs son. the smile is an attempt to convey his hopefulness about the lost cause in and of itself, but it dims slightly when he goes to pat the hood and the rusted paneling begins to crumble beneath his palm. ❝ …probably a lot of help, that is. ❞
