On a Run

[Deleted]

Thorn was wondering around the shopping district, actually looking for something for Sarina's birthday early and if he found anything, hid it from Saul, possibly keep it locked in his tool box where Saul wouldn't look. He spotted the jewelry shop heading over to window shop unaware about two of his friends inside. He also hadn't seen this jewelry story before.. Something blue.

Anita was about to dig in her purse to find the three shillings that the earrings cost to give to Corina, when Crash did it for her. She started, and looked up at the man. He really could be a gentleman sometimes, but over something like this?

"Thank you, Crash, but you didn't have to pay for it."

She could have easily afforded it herself! Nevertheless, Anita smiled at him as she took the jewelry and turned back to where Corina was. She hadn't noticed Thorn yet.

"And thank you for the earrings, they're really quite lovely."

[Deleted]

Corina smiled at the two, thinking that was cute. She nodded to them. "I hope you enjoy them to the fullest.~" she said happily.

She then saw a tall man, probably taller than Corina even, and nodded to him. "Hello sir!"

[Deleted]

<sub>Yes, Crash had to be cute on occasion, of course. He would wink and grin at Anita when she spoke up, putting his hands in his pants pockets and generally looking a bit sheepish. He was unaware of Thorn being nearby either, due to his nature.

"Hey, let me be nice~." Might as well anyway. Either way, the earrings would look quite lovely on her and he would find a way to compliment her in a moment, though Corina spoke up to someone behind him, and Crash turned around.

In a flash, Crash jumped up, rounded whatever obstacles were in his way, and then flew up into the air to tackle Thorn, forgetting about the other's clumsiness.

"HI THORN DUDE!"</sub>

[Deleted]

Before Thorn could reply he saw crash coming at him. "Wait Crash! No!" He yelped, but tooo late, he was tackled by a Crash and went down with a yelp an a thud completely taken off guard by it. "Ow." He simply spoke, then with a nervous chuckle after a few seconds of sitting up and rubbing the back his head, yeah there was a knot.

"Hello to you two Crash."

[Deleted]

Anita smiled back at Corina as she said that. "Thank you so much, I'm sure that I will." She giggled at Crash as he just winked at her like that and insisted on being nice to her. Aww, that was nice, as long as he didn't flirt her anything. She was a couple years shy from being the right age, and he was much older than her.

Corina called to someone behind her, so Anita turned around to see who it was - only to see Thorn. She was barely able to yell a "Thorn, look out!" before Crash... crashed right into the other.

She winced, placed the earrings in her purse, and held a hand out to help Thorn up. "Are you okay?"

[Deleted]

Corina had winced at seeing Thorn get tackled. "Oh dear . . . " she spoke to herself. Corina left her stand and walked over to the group to see if the man was all right. That was a pretty strong tackle, Corina thought. Seeing that things were already being taken care of, she stood there watching the people talk.

[Deleted]

<sub>Hilariously enough? Crash was smaller and lighter and despite getting the wind knocked out of him as he fell over and a bit of pain in his knees, Crash hopped right back up and gave Thorn a silly grin as he helped the taller man up.

"Heya. You didn't hurt yourself badly?" Making sure first. Crash was caught a bit off guard knocking the guy down so easily. Though even Crash wasn't knowing of his own strength.

Anita and Corina followed and he would see the old gang was together. Woo! He'd put his hands in his pant pockets and gave a sheepish grin to Corina.

"Sorry, force of habit."</sub>

[Deleted]

"I'm okay." Thorn replied in a dazed voice as he raised his hand. "Done worse to my self, ow... Thank you" he added on with a pained smile and chuckle as he was helped up. "I do apologize." Thorn bowed to the new women. He perked up a bit, wait was this the shop owner? bloody hell he hopped not, they would be in a lot of trouble if it was.

[Deleted]

Anita laughed a bit once she was sure that both Thorn and Crash were alright. Sure, Thorn might be klutzy, but he didn't want to end up at the doctors' clinic now, did he? Besides, even small people could put a lot of force into them like the RPer's dog who is incredibly strong for it's size.

"Are you sure you don't need any help?" she asked her new friend.

He seemed to be insisting that he was okay, so Anita decided to let it go. "So what brought you here before Crash tackled you?"

[Deleted]

Corina shook her head. Yes, she was the shop's owner (or the temporary shop owner, that is), but she wasn't about to scold them. Besides, no real damage had happened and no one was hurt.

"No no, that's all right." Corina smiled to the group.

Corina definitely could have a story to tell when she would visit her parents again.

[Deleted]

<sub>Either way, the highly excitable adult male had pulled back and helped his buddy up before pulling his hair back and shaking the dust off of it. He then turned to see Anita and Corina approaching them and he grinned sheepishly. Yeah, not the best behavior in front of a lady.

"Well, I didn't cause any damage, so it's cool." He then hopped up and down, keeping his muscles up to par. Stretching would be better but there just wasn't enough room for that.

"This is Thorn. He's cool." Well Crash thinks everyone is cool.</sub>

[Deleted]

Thorn nodded as he relaxed hearing everything was fine. He smiled hearing Crash say that, just don't tell Thorn that was Crash just being Crash. "Ah, don't worry lady Anita, I'm alright" he chuckled, and then popped the question of why he was here. "A-ah! I'm looking for a birthday present for a friend of mine." he replied with his face a nice shade of pink.

[Deleted]

Anita just shook her head again, relieved that Corina seemed to be taking this quite well and not yelling at the lot of them to leave her shop immediately. Of course, Anita could excuse Crash's behavior. Crash was being Crash, after all, and one took the good along with the goofy when making friends. Even if he was a lot older than one.

"Oh, a birthday present? How nice!" She smiled at Thorn. "Lady friend?" Ooooh~.

[Deleted]

Corina nodded to Thorn. "Nice to meet you!" she said happily. She then looked to the others. "If it's ok, what are your names?" directing the question to Anita and Crash. (OOC: If they had already introduced themselves, I'm sorry Will edit after post.)

Corina looked back to Thorn. "A birthday present? All right!" she spoke again. The jewelry maker heard Anita's teasing remark and looked to see Thorn's now-pink face and grinned. "Heheh, you may look around. Once you find something you can see me, ok?"
