[ God, some people. It's a good thing that he had already finished his mediocre chain-store coffee or else Killian would have a bill for a 500 dollar shirt sent his way. For now it's only Teague's phone that goes flying, and he manages in a moment of elegance to contrast the fact that he was almost bowled down by a child.

Scratch that, a very short teenager. He frowns, grabbing Killian's arm before he can continue on. It's all a matter of seconds, the crash, the catching of his phone, the grab. ]

Stop.

[youngestone]

Sorry--whoa, let go of me.

[Killian tries to tug his arm free, frowning]

I was trying to avoid those kids. Didn't mean to run into you.

[deeproots]

[ He doesn't let go through, not a chance. He instead holds up his phone with his other hand as an example. ]

It doesn't what you meant to do only what you did. Do you know how much this costs?

[youngestone]

More than my entire paycheck?

[Which, to be fair, he's making a decent sum working at Chloe's stables but still. He's heard this line before and he is not amused]

I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to run into you.

[deeproots]

Stop talking and listen.

[ He doesn't raise his voice for a moment, because he's never felt the need to. He can be threatening enough as is. ]

Imagine if you had broken this. I would have sent you a bill, and that would have been terribly inconvenient for everyone. You would do better to look where you're going instead of running head first into and around strangers. That or learn some agility at the very least.

You're the one standing in the middle of the mall on a crowded weekend with teenagers with an expensive phone. You're seriously telling me that you'd track down and bill anyone who accidentally ran into if your phone fell?

[You know, before the pulses? Killian wouldn't have said that. This guy is clearly trying to scare him, though, and that's just not going to happen.]

[deeproots]

[ Oh and that does get a smile from him, but not a particularly happy one. It's a smile that exists because this simply isnt funny enough for a real laugh. ]

You say that as if I want to be here. And yes, yes I would.

[youngestone]

You're still the guy standing in the middle of the mall on a Saturday with an expensive phone out and not paying attention. Pretty sure no one take that bill seriously.
