She was also had a paper that he had seen fly by the window of the compartment earlier - or it at least looked like the one he had seen earlier. Whatever it was, he was curious too.

Except with his last step, the train shook more than what he planned on it doing, and did fall into the girl.

"Eeeep!" he squeaked said. He grabbed onto the side of another compartment door to hold himself up, and gently grabbed the girls arm. "I'm sorry Kiri!" WOW, he remembered her name. How awkward would it be if she didn't remember his. Blushhh.
Well, this was stupid. There was no suitable compartment, i.e. either completely empty or completely filled with one (1) Raiden, anywhere! Kiri was debating whether she should just turn around and head back the other way to look in the carriages she'd passed already (Awkward!, her brain supplied, unhelpful as always) when a nearby door slid open. Kiri hastily looked at the parchment in her hand and pretended to be reading - realising too late she was holding it upside down.

Out of the corner of her eye, she could see that the person who'd stepped into the corridor was the boy she'd met in the ice cream parlour. A moment's shuffling through her not very extensive stack of people she knew flicked the name Xander at her. Oh yes, that was right.
Just as she was looking up, preparing to give him a small smile, the train gave a huge lurch. Somewhere behind her, a heavy thud indicated that someone's trunk had fallen out of the luggage rack. The boy stumbled forward, and a moment later hung halfway in her arms.

"Whoa! Careful!" Trying to steady herself against the corridor wall, she caught a whiff of... well, whatever it was the boy was using on his hair. As magnificent as it was (Kiri admitted to herself rather enviously), it was also obscuring her vision and tickling her nose. She pushed on Xander's arms a little ineffectively in an effort to get him upright again. "Erm, are you okay, er... Xander?"
