Enough noise that she would definitely not hear someone making an approach toward her, silent of noisy.
So, when the girl felt hands on her sides, and her name practically screamed at her, she couldn't help but flail and shriek girlishly out of pure surprise. She had never liked being touched and had always preferred her personal space, but she never really told anyone because she knew it would most likely bring up questions and.. she didn't exactly want to answer those. Next thing the blond knew, she was losing her balance and- falling off of the counter she had previously been occupying.
Charlie reacted quickly, trying and failing not to laugh all the while. He caught her out of the air, one arm beneath her waist, the other around her shoulder. He was laughing almost hysterically at this point, but he placed a hand on her head sympathetically. "Oh, I'm sorry." He said, but between laughs, he didn't sound very sorry. He set her down on her feet, shaking his head, unable to believe how funny this is. He put a hand firmly on her shoulder, bending slightly and trying to catch his breath between chuckles. "Oh, Merlin--
hahaha--I really--
ha--didn't think--
haha--you'd fall." He said, putting his free hand to his chest, trying to calm down.
After a moment his laughter ceased and he was taking long, slow breaths, trying to maintain control. His grin was wide when he finally looked at Brook, snickering. "Oh, Brooks, you just make it
too easy."
