The action jostling him forward and into the puddle that he had just been about to come to. A puddle he might have skirted cautiously considering how it appeared in the shadow.
Great...just great...he mused finding his feet wet even as the girl---the hufflepuff as he looked back around to see was appologizing. "Nae...its alright," he said accepting her appology trying to step to the side to get out of the puddle since she was still behind him. It was dark...too shadowy to see everything the best and likely an accident anyway.
Evelyn cringed when she heard him stumble into a puddle of water..sigh. She should have watched where she was going. She shifted her wand to the other hand and brushed her hair off her face.
"Erm..it was dark and I was looking at the creepy statue and...yeah." Evelyn gave a nervous smile. She slowly continued to walk forward, avoiding the water on the floor. Ughh. It was so dark and creepy.
