Just as he was finally resigning himself to the idea that eventually one of those two things was going to happen, he heard his name, looking around to see... oh. Eris.
Really?
Because this wasn't embarrassing enough. "Aish," he said to himself, but he waved, because he didn't want to seem at all ungrateful for the help. One of the pixies taken care of by a rock, he started to wriggle again, to speed up the whole dropping process. Except... was she trying to catch him? Even more embarrassing.
"What are you doing!?" he sort of called to her, but it was too late. Apparently the pixie had decided that instead of an accidental drop, it would be funnier to fling him at Eris, though he tried his best to twist and land on the floor instead. Hey. He may be short, but he liked to believe he could crush someone if he landed on them. Well, he liked to believe that. Untrue as it was.
What was she doing? Trying to save him of course, well....then again, a little girl trying to catch you must look kind of awkward no matter how it is put.
As the boy fell in her arms, Eris did indeed catch him with all the strength she could muster but collapsed over her buckled knees.
Oops.
"Uhhh....Uhhh..Ash..." her blueish-grey eyes widened as she raised her hand to point at a swarm of angry pixies with a look of fear replacing the surprise on her, probably there to avenge their fallen friend from the rock. Brushing herself off, she saw Joćo out of the corner of her eye.
He looked like he knew what he was doing.
"Joćo!" She called out for help out of instinct. It sucked not knowing any spells.....
