What Althea REALLY wanted to do was berate the child for not looking where she was going -and those books better not be damaged- but instead, she crouched carefully, gracefully.
"Are you alright?" Yes? This question asked, she began to carefully collect and stack the books.
"And no of course it isn't...." Althea picked up the book in question. "Its a study. Kind of a philosophy of magic type book. But there are other interesting revelations inside, and it poses some interesting questions.... look, you should really get up, it isn't ladylike to roll about on the floor." And who knew what germs there were? "Let me help you." Thea said all this and offered the girl a hand.
The books were once again safely levitating.
Out of the child's way.
"Oh, yeah, I'm fine, thanks." Tori stopped staring at the books and instead took her offered hand. Once she was up, she adjusted her skirt and flipped her hair over one shoulder.
"Why are you reading like, so many ginormous books anyway?" Tori asked, staring at the lady now as she popped a piece of Drooble's in her mouth. Chomp. Chomp. Chomp. "Are you a librarian?"
She looked kinda... tall for a librarian. Then again, maybe her height was useful for reaching the top shelves.
