Newt smiles as the raven spreads its wings, as though pleased with his compliment. He doesn't miss the man rolling his eyes, either, an expression that seems as at home on his facial expressions along with the scowling.
In his arms, the Niffler tilts his head, studying the stranger in his own way. Newt hopes desperately the man has nothing shiny laying about in his motor vehicle.
"This is a Niffler," he explains, holding the creature up a bit, while maintaining a steady grip on him. "He rather likes gold and shiny things, so I hope you have nothing of the sort about you. He's prone to make a mess of things in the name of all things glitter."
He sombers at the mention of the forgetting spell. "I Obliviate Muggles because they aren't supposed to know about these sorts of things. The International Statue of Secrey forbids it," he says. He eyes Ronan. "I should Obliviate you too." He sighs. "But I've broken the Statue more times than I can count since arriving here," he shakes his head.
"I'm Newt. Newt Scamander. I'm a Magizoologist," he says. "I study magical creatures for a living. And who might you be?"
