Ellie flashed a nervous smile as she was offered the hand, chuckling slightly all the while. Man- not even a day here, and she was already making an ass of herself. New record, Ellie. 

The offered hand was accepted regardless, and with it came Ellie soon climbing back up to her feet. [color=9e0b0f]"Sorry about that,"[/color] Ellie said to the man while rubbing the back of her neck. [color=9e0b0f]"I... uh..."[/color] she tried to think of an adequate explanation. She [i]could[/i] just tell him the truth - but something told her that talking about how she came from a place overrun by infected man-eating fungus people wouldn't be considered "normal" behavior for a place like this. So instead, after that brief moment of silence, she raised her arms and gestured to the world around them, [color=9e0b0f]"I'm just not... [i]used[/i] to places like this- I guess."[/color]

Her eyes fell, and it was at that point that she realized that the man's newspaper had fallen onto the ground. Ah, man. She never had like... [i]new issues[/i] of those things back home- but she still knew what they were. Old pages ripped out of twenty-year old issues could still be seen just... floating around places. Just in the wind. Fluttering mindlessly. Remnants of a past long forgotten... or some other bullshit like that. This whole place took things to a whole other level. It [i]was[/i] THE place long forgotten.

Regardless of any of that, Ellie ultimately had picked up the newspaper and handed it off to Jed. [color=9e0b0f]"Here ya go, man."[/color]
