They barrelled ahead, veered to the right, and accidentally shoulder-barged books and boy. Unfortunate as that might turn out, Nem was prepared to at least try and snatch the kid back from tumbling to his doom if necessary.

Quinn only registered the footsteps when it was too late—he looked up, and around the bend came Nemesis, barreling towards him. Seeing a fifth year with a very sharp jawline coming at him that quickly was extremely intimidating for the youngun, and he only had time to gasp before being knocked around.

Into the air flew the books, tumbling down the stairs with a loud clatter. Quinn himself would've gone for a tumble, too, had it not been for Nem catching his arm before he could. Quinn stayed like that for a moment, looking down the stairs at his books falling, processing the last few moments. After a bit he exhaled, regaining his composure. This was the third time he'd had an interaction with someone that ended up with him dropping all his books, and Quinn was just about tired of it. Who had the bright idea to run up the stairs, anyway?

Quinn turned around in exasperation to face his assaulter, when he actually saw who it was. Quinn recognized this one well. His name was... Nemesis, yes. Quinn remembered because it was Greek. And because Nemesis was very intimidating.

But also, very handsome.

Quinn's eyes were clearly registering all of this at once, and his what would be aggressive quip came out as if from a nervous puppy. "W-why were you running up the stairs..?"
