I-Ion!? Are you okay?

[biggestgun]

[Sorry, Colette, talking is kinda difficult when you have a mountain of books on top of you.]

[clutzy_chosen]

[rushes over to him.. and pretty much lifts a huge stack of books without even realizing it]

Please, just hang on, Ion! I'll get you out!

[biggestgun]

[It looks like most of the books missed his head, so he's just mildly disoriented.]

Colette...?

[clutzy_chosen]

Thank goodness you're okay! [keeps removing books off of him until they're gone, letting out a sigh of relief]

I was so worried.

[biggestgun]

I wasn't careful enough. I'm sorry.

[clutzy_chosen]

It's okay. You're fine now, right?

[biggestgun]

A few bruises won't kill me.

Though, Colette...weren't all those rather heavy...?

[clutzy_chosen]

[stares at him curiously before taking a look a the piles next to them] Those? [actually, no, they weren't heavy at all, but Colette can feel herself starting to flush in embarrassment]

O-oh, those! Um, yeah, of course! They were a little bit heavy, huh?

[He catches himself, recalling their conversation about her having super strength and tries to disguise that as a cough as he stands a tad shakily.]

Well, I guess it would seem that way since they did come tumbling down on me. That'll teach me to take so many books and not return them.
