Liam considered that for half a second. "Probably yours. I fall well." The problem was that he could still not see in front of him so he wasn't sure what to do about the basket. He paused for only a moment before leaning his head to the side as much as he could, just able to see the edge of basket in question. "Hold that, yeah?" It would be greatly appreciated.
And... Liam dumped his books in the basket. Quite gracelessly. Ian made a very displeased noise at the supposedly smart comment and rolled his dark eyes for its benefit, too, not that it mattered. The boy in question couldn’t exactly see him, which made the effort it took quite pointless indeed. A fact that would have irritated him had the boy not given explicit instructions that, well, just like instructions in general, Ian didn’t necessarily took to heart, at least not initially. “What? I’m not doing that.” Though he did held on to the basket with both hands, with barely enough time to let the book safely tucked under his armpit hit the floor. The avalanche of books plummeted into the basket and a string of colorful French words slipped out. With his skinny arms, he did his very best to try to keep the basket with the added weight of the books from clattering down to the ground, and he grunted.
The keyword was trying, here, and because he tried he was pretty sure he wouldn’t be welcoming any critiques.
He lurched downwards along with the basket and the books and very nearly fell down face first into the basket himself, which would’ve been an interesting addition to the boy’s items, one that would’ve maybe made the cashier take a pause, but. Anyway. As he straightened, Ian nearly slipped and held on to the shelf next to him for support. It shook—or trembled?—and he looked up at it, startled and taking a step sideways, away from it. ”This place is going to kill me, I should’ve never come here.”
