Scratching his head Edvard got to his feet albeit at a bit of wobble at first before he found his footing. "I’m all right I think. I might have bruised an arm and I feel a bit winded but otherwise I’m good." He said to the ladies. "How did you fare in the fall Isabelle you had to take the brunt of all our combined weight?" Two professors landing on you must have hurt.
Gosh, it was good he
wasn't usually that clumsy, or he'd have problems getting through life. Mind you, when someone makes you jump or knocks you off balance it was understandable. Isabelle just gave Edvard a smile when he apologised for their fall. Of course it was accepted as it was an accident and not meant. She wasn't going to hold that against him.
She was glad they all seemed to be okay though - it could have ended up rather nasty. When he enquired after her, Isabelle patted herself down and grinned.
"Well, I think I might have some bruised ribs, and I'm a bit winded, but I'll live. Nothing broken, thank Merlin." Quote:

She glanced towards the young girl that was upset...well almost freaking out...hiding behind Max..."O Ms. Indiana, we are all right..." she said with a little nod up and down, "I figured you were just testing us to see if we were thinking on our toes, but no we weren't..." she said with a shrug and a little giggle.
"Certainly an interesting turn to the evening, I'll say that. I only came down to see what was going on," Isabelle laughed, wincing slightly as her ribs throbbed.
At Gemma's words to the little Ravenclaw, Isabelle turned her gaze back to her as well - giving her a warm grin. See? They were fine. Bruised, but fine. And quite possibly a little embarrassed to have done that in front of the students.

"Are you blind to the danger that's escaping from the Forbidden Forest?" he chided angrily. "A rogue Hippogriff is not just any animal! You're mighty lucky that you only received a scratch. Blast-Ended-Skrewts and Thestrals are also escaping along with other creatures. These events and others have been foreseen in the celestial heavens. Mars is in retrograde. Things at Hogwarts are amiss."
Her gaze shifted however when Thereos started talking. Up to that point he hadn't said anything when Issy had been there, so maybe now she would get an answer to her previous question - what was going on?
Animals leaving the forest? Mars in retrograde? ....she had never quite understood Divination, it wasn't one of her better subjects, it had to be said. But it was for the centaur, and his tone was...worrying. Even if Max was being dismissive.
Giving him a glance, Issy cleared her throat and moved forward slightly.
"Thereos, you say things are amiss, but do you know what?" If they were trying to escape, surely something was causing it.
