The shots of pain were quickly ebbing away as the voice broke him from his embarrassment. “Well, it’s not good,” he hummed to himself as he moved to crouch down next to the fallen figure. He tried to tug her out of the way when a speeding bike seemed to have flown by, but perhaps he was a bit too forceful. Ryo ended up pulling the poor girl onto the ground with him, his legs sprawled diagonally over her own. So much for the agility he learned back in the academy.
He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. He was sure he would have a bruise the next day so hopefully she wouldn’t wake up with something much worse. “I’m sorry about that. I was only trying to help,” he apologized, standing up and offering the stranger a hand. “Do you think you can stand?”
Corinne wasn’t even completely sure what just happened. One second she was focused on taking her phone out of her bag and the next second she was on the ground in piercing pain. Her legs felt the impact more than anything else but she was exaggerating when she commented on not feeling them. It all just happened so quickly, she wasn’t sure it happened at all.
“It’s okay. I should have been looking where I was walking in the first place.” Corinne tried reassuring him with a delicate smile. She began to shake her head to wave off his offer to help her for a second, knowing she would be able to get up on her own, but she didn’t want to seem rude. Cori took his hand in hers and grunted lightly as she stood back up, dusting herself off a bit. “Are you alright?” She inquired, scanning over the man in front of her for any visible wounds. “What even happened?”
