"That's all good then. I know how those sorts of things can linger on sometimes."

Rich chuckled when he caught a quick glimpse of Gwenog's response and then nodded when she got down to serious flying. It was obvious she was skilled in the air, even though with his years of racing experience he could tell that she really didn't have much experience on a broom set up for racing instead of Quidditch. Still, even her landing was well-controlled and precise.

"Glad you liked it." He turned to the table and leafed through a large folder, pulling out a formally caligraphed and sealed parchment. Turning back to Gwenog, he held it out to her. "Keep the broom, if you liked it. Here's the registration. Bluebottle worked with Percy Weasly over at the Ministry to make sure the C-Class would be legal for everyday use, and with the International Racing Association so you could take it right onto the track and into a Novice race. It will be competitive up to the C-level races, and if you get the spellwork unlocked,into B and probably A races as well. All we ask is if you continue to like it, you ride it. And if somebody happens to ask you what make you're riding, let them know it is a Bluebottle. Just a little publicity to help get around the reputation as a stodgy, family broom company."

She nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I've been lucky all around really," she said. And she wasn't lying either. At her age most professional players were either retired or seriously considering it due to persistent injuries. Wizarding ageing and magical healing could help a lot to prolong a career, but not beyond reason.

"It was great, although I imagine you can tell it doesn't handle like my usual choice," she said. She knew there was a difference between broom types and she herself owned a couple of different models which she interchanged depending on the needs for an individual match. That said she wasn't about to say no to another just because it wasn't match-legal. She had enjoyed flying around at high speeds, whether or not she had any thoughts of trying out racing. "Thanks, I'll make sure to do that," she said, accepting the certificate with a polite nod and tucking it away in a pocket of her robes designed for scrolls. "Although having felt what this can do I don't understand why anyone would think it was still a stodgy company. I mean, sure, the multi-seaters are a bit of an eye-puller but this...," she said, shaking her head as she swung the broom up onto her shoulder. "Idiots."

Rich shrugged. "Lot of years of reputation to get around. Why the company folded a few years ago. If I hadn't given you a test hop, would the Bluebottle name have crossed your mind for a high-performance broom?"

When Rich and a few of his racing friends bought Bluebottle, all they'd really purchased was the company name and trademarks and a sort of run-down broom works building outside of Covington.

"So you can see why we're trying to get some of our C-Class broom into the hands of people with a reputation as an excellent flyer."

"Point," she admitted. Even though they apparently didn't do quidditch legal brooms yet the performance of the racing one was miles beyond what she could even imagined Bluebottle producing. "Wouldn't have bothered trying, no matter what the advertising said." Well, maybe if other players came out with good reports but not off her own initiative.

"Well, mission accomplished then, at least for one person," she said. Her reputation had never denied her skill on a broom, and she was very proud of that.

She pulled her pocket watch out and swore. "Shit, I should get going. I wanted to look around before the next demo and excellent as the broom was the details blur a bit when you get that fast!" She said it with an actual smile though, some extra flying helping to relax more. "Thanks for the broom, best of luck with the stand."
