Kel jumped when he heard a voice behind him. Oh Merlin. He looked fleetingly at the trolley lady, then at the girl who'd just told him off. Well, that's what he got for not paying attention to his surroundings.

"So sorry, ma'am." he muttered, stepping back to let the girl forward. He thought about turning around and fleeing, but he really wanted his sugar quills! Ugh. He frowned and looked around, making sure he wasn't stepping in front of anyone else in line - once was enough. "Get your frogs, then." he added in a barely audible voice, before he thought about his words.
