He was going to walk back to the entrance but... there were jars of insects and they kid of fascinated him. He liked the way they moved... So he walked close to the shelves, leaning in close to inspect them. In fact, he was so much in his own little world that he walked right into a girl stood there. "Oh I'm sorry!" he said, standing back with his hands up in surrender position. Ella was reaching out for a jar of grasshoppers, feeling quite bad for the creatures. Who would want to be eaten by an owl, anyways? It wasn't fair. In the back of her mind she had a thought that she could just start protesting the unfair capture and sale of insects for consumption but the thought was fleeting as someone walked RIGHT into her. The blonde stumbled backwards, luckily catching her balance before she toppled right over.
Eyes wandering upwards, Ella spotted an unfamiliar boy who appeared to be...surrendering? The small 13 year old smiled at him, shaking her head.
"Don't worry about it, I'm okay." Really, she was. No harm done. And taking a step forward again, the blonde extending her hand.
"I'm Ella, by the way."
