It was hard enough to walk with this stupid knee of hers, and even worse now that the bag from Zonko's was unbalancing her. Gwen did a sort of hop-walk down the street trying her best to keep all weight off of her injured knee.
Sure, she had gone to the healer about it, and she had fixed it up. But that hadn't lasted very long because it still hurt. A lot.
She was in the middle of a hobble-step when she spotted Ian, also appearing to have trouble walking. She raised her free hand to wave to him, resulting in a lot of stumbling on her part.
Okay, no more messing up this delicate balance thing.
"Hey, Ian," she said loudly, mostly because she had trouble hearing her own voice.
"How's it going?" The American was determined to not let this stupid old-people crap get in the way of her life.
