Thomas swore that he could hear the beginnings of giggling and laughter but the woman seemed to override her response. He didn’t know how to feel about the potential laughter he would get from her and no laughter from her at all. [i]She thinks aah'm an idiot…[/i] was the string of thought that popped up into his head while rubbing the nap of his neck. Looking slightly embarrassed at the moment, since she probably was hoping for something else in the police chief and sheriff. 

No outwardly emotion was shown with how he was embarrassed or internally ragging on himself for ruining the first impression with the mayor’s assistant. “[color=66946b]It was lovely to meet your acquaintances as well,[/color]” That goofy and almost awkward expression accompanied by the smile fell into a friendlier look with warmth to his smile. Lending out his hand for a handshake before fully processing the last part of what she said. 

Then he went to open his mouth to protest for help. He should have called one of the department members to help him. Quickly, he kept his words to himself as the woman shouted for someone named Tim. The volunteer looked awfully familiar and Thomas was pretty sure he knew Tim’s family but not necessarily Tim, probably his dad or something. He kept these thoughts to himself while dipping his head to Tim, “[color=66946b]Oh-oh, mah foot is fine aah promise. Aah will be en the dunk tank later miss 'n that should be all mah foot needs,[/color]'' Thomas was not going to allow himself to accept the ice. That would be the most embarrassing part. Accepting ice for a clumsy accident that barely hurt. [i]It still kind of stings tho…[/i] Those thoughts caused him to glance down at his foot that the tables fell on and the smile on his face fell as he thought about it. 

“[color=66946b]Mah foot is good. Don't worry about it,[/color]” Thomas waved it off to indicate that he was physically fine. “[color=66946b]Also thank ya, aah appreciate the help,[/color]” At this point, he couldn’t decline or reject the help, Tim was right there. Plus Jewel tried her best to get help for him so he should use it while he could. 

Noticing Tim was trying to unload the trailer by himself, he sighed, “[color=66946b]Oh, don't do that![/color]” The man raised his hand as he raised his voice to get Tim’s attention and he glanced back at Jewel with a smile. “[color=66946b]Ya can call meh Thomas by the way. If ya want. Aah hope that isn't too informal —-[/color]” The man was starting to tell himself to shut up. He was talking way too much at this point. “[color=66946b]—Okay. —[/color]” He had no clue what he needed to do with his hands at this point and he ended up crossing them awkwardly across his chest since he was just moving them. “[color=66946b]—- Aah've to go unload the trailer. Aah should help time - Tim. Aah mean Tim...[/color]” Those words caused his hands to move as he pointed both thumbs behind him where Tim would be. 

[i]Oh god…I hope the mayor doesn’t fire me for being a complete idiot to his assistant…[/i] Anxieties bubbled up as he quickly walked over to Tim and started helping unload the trailer. The top of his cheekbones was hinted slightly pink from his horrible first impression. He began to focus on directing Tim as the other man helped him unload the trailer and truck.
