[Senri would be one such unfortunate soul, being his usual, distracted self. And thus, unexpected metal to the face.

While he doesn't make a sound, aside from thudding onto the ground as he falls... ow.]

1/3

[strayswordsman]

[Whoops, what was that-]

[strayswordsman]

...Ah, shit.

[strayswordsman]

[Zoro crouches down to inspect the guy he apparently brained, weights still propped over his shoulder. He's two parts apologetic and one part irritated, because dammit, people should look where they're going.]

Hey, you alright?

[flower_fields]

[He's still seeing stars. Sorry, Zoro, give him a few moments to reorient himself.]

[strayswordsman]

[Well, Zoro's not seeing any blood, and from the rapid blinking maybe the guy's just stunned, so Zoro sits back on his heels and waits for him to recover.]

...Oi.

[flower_fields]

[With a final blink, he sits up a bit, before pressing a hand to his face because owwwwww, that hurt.

Not quite aware of Zoro's presence yet, sorry.]

[strayswordsman]

[If he's sitting up and not bleeding, he probably doesn't need a doctor, right? :|a Anyway, Zoro assumes that it's a good sign.]

Hn. Looks like you've got a hard head. Sorry 'bout that.

[flower_fields]

[You're lucky that Senri has good endurance. :|

He blinks again before looking at Zoro with a confused look. It hasn't quite struck him (no pun intended) as to what it was that collided with his face.]

What...?

[strayswordsman]

[...Shit, it's not a concussion, is it?]

...You ran into my weights. Or they ran into you.

[flower_fields]

... Weights?

[strayswordsman]

[Zoro pointedly shifts the weights that are still balanced on his shoulder.] These. ...You need a doctor?

[flower_fields]

[He shakes his head as he stands up, although he's still wobbly on his feet. He'll be fine. Eventually.]

[strayswordsman]

[Zoro rocks back to stand up as well, keeping a careful eye on the kid, because he doesn't seem all that steady on his feet, and-it was Zoro's fault, really.]

...Mm. Okay. [pause, then a headtilt. Not too talkative, are you. Alright, neither is Zoro.] ...Got somewhere you're going?

[flower_fields]

["Not too talkative" is an understatement.]

... No.

[It's then that something occurs to him, as he pauses to stare at Zoro. Hey, you look kind of familiar. :I]

[strayswordsman]

Right. ...Well...

[Business seemingly concluded, he's about to just say 'see ya' and leave, but then he picks up on the more intent look.]

...What?
