Waving through a Window

"If it’s any consolation I didn’t really... see it happen," the man offered. That kind of helped, but if Maple was being honest the real problem was her own mind that told her it was literally the end of the world when it probably wasn't. Nevertheless she did her best to smile in spite of herself. Okay so her tripping was slightly funny. At least he wasn't laughing at her. Her smile grew a bit at that. The little ivory woman was going to think of something funny to say at her own expense when the man rose and looked like he was coming over. Wait, over here? Where Maple was? Oh. Her stomach felt all full of nervous butterflies at the thought of him being closer all of a sudden, but this feeling vanished when the poor guy slipped and plummeted right into the same water Maple's just picked her face up out of. She almost giggled at this sudden twist of events but figured she ought to show him the same kindness he'd shown her when she took a tumble. Padding her way closer, Maple stopped a few feet away and flopped down on her tummy to look at him with a tentative grin. "Y'allright?" she asked, repeating his earlier question. Then, in hopes of not embarrassing him too much she added, "Least we can be soggy together, I suppose." Soft tinkling laughter fell from her lips, amused by their now shared situation. Actions. "Speak" "Think." |
