It was true. Whether it was the fact that there were few reasons to come up to the towers or that the trolls were so horrific that people just sped through this area, he wasn't sure.
He looked at her bowing again, and bent to try to get at her level the next time she did. "You really don't have to do that. It's completely my fault."
We can stand up straight now?
Oh. At least she hadn't interrupted him studying. Kurumi knew how hard it could be to get into the right mind frame to be able to really hit the books, so she was thankful for that. However, hearing that she had interrupted his state of escape brought a small frown to her face - even if he insisted that it was alright.
"
Interesting choice of location to get away to," she said with a small giggle. Maybe he had an interest in trolls? Or...perhaps he had a dream of becoming a ballerina himself and was looking to get pointers from Barnabas? She had always been rather freaked out by the moving tapestry to be honest.
"
Do...what? OH!" she exclaimed with an instant flush to her cheeks. "
Sorry, um, it's a habit or, erm, custom I suppose." The bowing that is. Realizing that she hadn't introduced herself despite tripping over him, Kurumi's cheeks flushed a bit more. "
I'm...Kurumi by the way."
Awkward.
