[ Oh wow hi there.

HE DOESN'T MIND IF SHE CRASHES INTO HIM-- in fact he fully enjoys it.

Just causally catching her before she falls over or something like that. ]

Looks like someone is in the mood for some holiday cheer!

[unsureazure]

[AAAAAA NOT AGAIN AIJHFDGHFSJHG---Oh. He caught her. Thanks for that. Although this is kind of... awkward...

Noel's face flushes a bit as she gives a stiff nod.]

Oh, u-um... Y-Yes, I, um... I r-really like Christmas... I-It's my favorite holiday and... stuff...

[leansoneveryone]

[ NEVER AWKWARD. Just a day in the life of the Knight of Three.

HE IS HERE TO SERVE. ]

What a coincidence-- me too! [ His smile brights while, y'know, standing her up straight. ]

You gunna be alright?

[unsureazure]

[Thanks, Gibro! Everyone can count on you! Maybe. She brightens up at him saying that he liked the holiday too. She nods to his question.]

Mm-hmm! I've had worse than these, really. I-I wouldn't be a very good soldier if I let something like this bring me down...

Evasion. [Whoops, Lambda manages to sidestep in time to stop Noel from crashing into her. It doesn't help that Lambda really blends into her surroundings around this time of year, well as much as a humanoid weapon can.]

[Her cyclops eye scans the Noel-shaped creature, who at this point is more shopping bag than girl.] Warning. Carrying capacity exceeding safe parameter.

[unsureazure]

AAAAAAAAAAGH!

[Holy fuck where did you come from, sis?! She breathes deeply, trying her best to not have a HEART ATTACK at the sudden appearance of her prototype.]

Wh-What do you mean, Lambda? I'm having no trouble carrying them... [Noel is completely oblivious to the fact that she is becoming a walking hazard to everyone around her like this.]

[retromodel]

Calculating chance of loss of balance.

Assessing factors... estimated load mass... muscle strength... terrain features... natural clumsiness...

Complete. Estimated chance: 74.41%.

[unsureazure]

[... What. What was that last one? Wow, low blow, Lambda. If you weren't an emotionless calculating robot thing, Noel would probably retreat to her room and cry profusely.]

Th-That... um.... That doesn't seem too bad! At least I have a chance of not losing my balance... [Denial.]

[snapekillsedgar]

[When Noel Vermillion was going to crash into someone, 9 times out of 10, she would probably know exactly who that someone was going to be. This was one of those moments.

WHUMPH!

Boxes and bags went flying EVERYWHERE, and in the midst of the Christmas shopping bag apocalypse, someone was yelling.]

Watch where you're---! Oh. Damnit, Noel!

[...And he stopped immediately the second he saw who he'd crashed into. Not that he was surprised in the slightest. He quickly got to his feet, brushed himself off, and without even thinking about it, reached out a hand to her.]

You didn't hurt yourself, did you?

[Strange that that was the first thing he thought of.]

[unsureazure]

Oww... I did it again...

[Sob does fate hate her so much. Wait, she knows that voice. She blinks at the offered hand, and reaches up to take it to let him help her up. And... she's totally not blushing. Nope. It's totally because of this weather.]

N-No, I'm fine... I'm really sorry Elliot, I should've been more ca---

[She then finally notices the merchandise strewn about. Just several (understatement) packages of Christmas lights, as well as some baubles and garlands for the inevitable tree she was going to drag in later.]

Oh no! You've gotta be kidding me...!

[Noel quickly scrambles to gather up her things. It's good that she didn't get anything that was breakable...]

[snapekillsedgar]

... Again?! You mean this is the second time you've done this today?!

[What. An. IDIOT...

... Who he can't stay mad at for long. All of the packages were getting soaked with snow. He knelt down with her to start gathering all of them up.]

You should've been watching where you here going then!

[unsureazure]

[Seventh, actually. Noel refrains from informing him of that though, because she doesn't want to get yelled at even more.]

I'm sorry... I was just keep... spacing out...

[Once she manages to get her portion in order and the bag strings secure on her arms again, she stands up and holds her hands out, expecting him to give her the ones he managed to gather.]

Ummm... A-Are you on duty right now?
