Kanga stared at the alpaca with an almost blank expression now, however her tail was flicking back and forth as if she knew something that Keighley didn't. Her eyes twitching every time the alpaca blinked..
Back and forth blue eyes swung between the two before finally settling back on the alpaca once more. Just in time too it seems as suddenly where there had been an alpaca standing before her, whom she had literally just been petting! Her hand still raised in the air were its snout had been. And there right before her eyes was... Evan!
With a small startled 'yelp' and a little leap backwards as she had been rather close to him, she stumbled over her own foot and landed right down on her bottom on the grass. Now she was the one blinking up at him, only this was out of confusion and embarrassment, her cheeks bright red which was kinda normal lately for her but still. Merlin, this was strange! "I.. umm.. uhh no?" She shook her head. "No, no my umm.. my sweater is fine.." Yeah, no issues with her sweater.
Evan was fairly positive this year was the most he'd received physical affection perhaps ever in his life, and a vast majority of that was due to his alpaca form. Were the roles reversed, he probably would have tried to approach and pet the creature too if it were not HIM in the woolly skin. He brushed off his own clothes, turning away from present company for a moment to spit out the remainder of grass in his mouth. Merlin, that really was dreadful tasting. All of the strange things his animal form had been eating had been enough to turn him off from ever eating Bertie Botts again.
Turning back to Keighley, he saw her jump back and start to tumble - and while Evan tried to reach out to stop her she was down too quickly. He grimaced slightly, before stepping closer and offering a hand to pull her up.
"I'm sorry. Are you alright?" Being able to control this really would have been rather nice.
