Accepting his hand gratefully as she let her ridiculous musing drift to the back of her mind, she let herself be helped up; To be completely honest impressed by his gallantry. "Just a bump and bruise I think. Nothing a little bruise remover paste and ice won't cure. Thanks though, I appreciate it." Good to know if it'd been serious she could count on this guy here to lead her to the Healer. Or well maybe not.

Not able to hold back a slight choked laugh at his murmured phrase, that's when she realized she hadn't exactly let go of the poor guy's hand. Releasing it quickly, she took a step back. A wobbly step back.

Her balance obviously still not entirely back, she leaned against the nearest tree trunk, which in fact happened to be the "culprit" tree. Giving it a little pat to attest to its stable uniform unmovable object-ness, she smiled as she tried (key word being tried here) to brush off the majority of leaves and small twigs that decorated her person. Of course, to no avail.

But where were her manners. Where were the pleasantries. Who was this guy? " Hi, by the way. I'm Ivory." Pointing to the obvious bump, on her head she gave a small grin. "The klutz as it would seem."

Braeden couldn't help but smile with amusement as the young girl before him assured him that that tree thought it had it worse (which Brae doubted; the tree was probably just being a drama queen). Regardless, no matter how many times she insisted she had been at fault, he would always consider the tree the real criminal here. It could've just moved out of the way if it saw her coming. Sheesh. No manners.

"Well, good. If that's all it really is, then I'm relieved," said Braeden as the girl assured him she'd be fine. He'd just saved himself a trip to the hospital wing and the possible accusation from one of the nurses about him being the culprit behind the attack to this Ravenclaw girl.

It was just as the girl released his hand that Braeden, too, realized she had still been holding on to him for the past few seconds. He didn't mind or even pay much attention to it, though; Brae was kind of oblivious to the fact that hand-holding was a little friendly. He'd hold the hand of a crazed goblin if he had to; though he'd rather not. Goblins were cranky. GAH, and then the girl was looking all... wobbly again! Braeden was just about to get a hold of her again when she decided best to lean back against her attacker (something which he frowned upon; he didn't trust this tree just yet. It seemed nice now, but who could guarantee them it wouldn't attack again?).

"If I were you, I'd choose a different tree to lean on," said Braeden. "Actually, no, that's a lie. If I were you, I'd be pretending everything was a lot worse than it really is just so that I can skip classes for a couple days and have breakfast brought to my bed," he confessed with a lopsided grin. Yeah, that would've been the Braeden-like thing to do. But this girl was definitely not as opportunistic as him. Admirable.

As the girl then introduced herself as Ivory, Braeden remembered - he hadn't introduced himself yet, either. Fail. Though in his defense, that tree had sort of sidetracked them from having a normal conversation with introductions and all. "I'm Braeden Stonem," the boy shared, unable to help but chuckle as Ivory described herself as a klutz. "Nah, I still think that tree was out to get you. You just probably hit your head so hard that it's got you thinking you were at fault," he said matter-of-factly, feeling so smart for coming up with this theory. He should become a healer. "Anyway, if it makes you feel any better, you're not the first to be attacked by nature. I could write you a guide on '101 ways to provoke and be attacked by trees, giant spiders, cats, and all sea-dwelling creatures'." That was going to be the title of his book.

Braeden paused for a moment, examining this new character for a second. Poor Ivory still looked a mess. "So. Ravenclaw, huh?" he asked, unable to help but notice the colors on her uniform that was still covered in leaves and twigs. He'd help her, but last time he tried to help a girl get twigs out of her hair she kicked him in the shins and ran off. He wasn't going to risk it again.
