Ali looked up from yet another failure and [i]lovely[/i] concrete burn to see an unfortunate witness to his gracelessness. The sudden appearance of the girl froze him in place for a few seconds while he felt the embarrassment threaten to suffocate him and drag him to the depths of the earth, but he snapped back to the present when he noticed the gauze in her hand. "Oh, uh..." He scrambled to his feet in an attempt to look a little less pathetic before placing a hand on the back of his head in what he hoped was a nonchalant manner. "Don't worry, it's not too bad. Me, clumsy? Nah, I'm just, uh..." 

[i]Pavement's cracked? Nah, this part's well maintained. Should have fallen over there, then it would have been more believable. Distraction? Yeah, but...what exactly? Can't keep her waiting...[/i] 

"Ah, sand! That's it, I just wasn't careful about..." He trailed off in his lame excuse as he looked down and noticed the rather unfortunate lack of sand in this part of the park. [i]Cheese and Snapple! Of course, this is the one time I go to a skate park and find it actually well-maintained![/i] Resisting the urge to sigh loudly, he gave a nervous chuckle that quickly turned to a wince at the abrasions from falling so many times. Reluctantly, he accepted the gauze with a sheepish expression. "Yeah, I guess I'm not too graceful after all. I'd like to say it's just this one and make up for it with a cooler trick, but I think I'll lose the rest of the skin on my elbows and knees if I try." Walking over to one of the low walls and sitting again, he started wrapping his injuries before speaking up again in an attempt to distract from his previous mess-up. "So...is the gauze a precaution for your own klutzy moments, or am I just really lucky? Either way, I guess I should be grateful, huh?"
