Normal things made him jump but now most things made him jump even when he saw them coming a mile away.
Or in this case an aisle away because his blue eyes had found the young girl as he was talking to Rylee, wondering where her parents were when she literally crashed in to them. Well, at he last second, Dorian had spun his body half way so that he was facing the sugar quills shelf in order not to get hit and then looked back over his shoulder. "What was that for?" he asked, his voice slightly panicky as he turned back around.

All due to one little elfsie getting their names wrong. "Aaww, that stinks! I didn't really do much this summer either. Mostly spending a lot of time with my family." After the inferi attacks she needed time with them. "Maybe you could come over for a visit before the break is over?" There's was plenty to do on their families property and they didn't have to go swimming either.
Noticing Dorian glance at her basket she giggled. "This isn't all mine. Only the sugar quills are." The licorice rope was for Reese and the chocolate frogs were for Rian, Silas, Ix and Saros. A sickle? Doing some very quick calculations in her she nodded fast. "Mhmm." Reaching into her small shoulder bag she fished out a single sickle holding it out for him. "Here you go." She smiled glad she could help. No worries about paying it back either. Friends helped friends.
Having been facing Dorian as they spoke, Rylee didn't see the slightly older girl as she crashed into the both of them. "Whoa! Are you alright? What about you, are you okay?" she asked quickly looking between her friend and the girl even as she stumbled forward herself, thankfully not falling over cause that would have been all levels of embarrassing!
While the other two managed to dodge her unintentional attack, Penny found herself falling. GREAT! Splendid! Way to make an impression, Pen! UGH. The girl managed a yelp before she toppled over her own feet and landed, somehow, backward and right on her bum with a hard smack.
"
Ugggggggh," she moaned dramatically before just giving into gravity altogether and flopping backward onto the floor. Yes, this was embarrassing and yes she was being over the top about it all, but really she just wanted to sink into the floor and disappear forever. Could that happen? Was that a thing? Using her arm to cover her face she muttered a
M'sorry. Finally peeking from behind her arm, face beetroot red, she spoke up, "
I dinnit do it on purrrpose. It was an... acci...dent..." Were they going to shout at her now? If so she was likely to cry right there in the middle of the shoppe.
Worst day ever.
