[b][i][u]Crash[/b][/i][/u] As soon as Kiwi had moved aside from the door Crash had inched over to it, still covering his crown jewels as he did NOT like Kiwi’s expression one bit. “Thank you” He breathed gratefully before he was out the door like a rocket, zipping past Kathy lifting his hands away from his pants now he was safe. He put a hand to his head releasing a long sigh as he tried to calm himself down, he looked at Kathy with a smile at her comment. “I thought we’d had it” He admitted, looking down at Lion who had skittered after them instantly. Crash frowned as Kathy apologized to him...again, she was starting to rival him on the apology front. He returned her smile, waiting until she gave him a second to speak before he did. “Ok...firstly apology accepted” He grinned at her. [i]Though I’m not sure it was needed[/i] “Secondly, you really don’t need to worry so much about relying on me, or getting me into trouble. What are friends for?” He shrugged with another grin. [i]Friend...?[/i] He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly “Besides I’m a magnet for trouble” He pointed out with a chuckle. “If you really feel you need to...then ok, but you really don’t owe anything” He smiled warmly at her. Lion looked up at Kathy as she spoke to him, he purred happily rubbing his head against her leg in an appreciative manner. Crash was about to say something when Kathy turned to him and spoke. “Yes?” He asked a smile still plastered on his face. However it faltered as she thanked him again and said she’d see him later before she turned and walked away a cheerful expression on her face. Lion practically bounded after her, his tail wagging crazily his nose to the ground as he sniffed around the ground.“Oh...right...” He murmured, standing like a lemon in the middle of the corridor, his smile slid from his face and he looked up and down the corridor. “Well...that was unexpected...” He murmured to himself scuffing his toe on the ground, sliding his hands into his pockets. He wasn’t quite sure what to do with himself so he turned on his heel and walked the opposite way Kathy had gone, his mind jumping back to life with a torrent of thoughts.
