[i][b] – Kathy[/b][/i]

After seeing that Crash seemed okay enough to smile and make jokes, Kathy stifled her laughter in an attempt not to add to the list of offenses already made in the library with that single accident. Picking the paper off of his head with her left hand she parroted, “And you have a habit of making the most spectacular falls possible don’t you?” Transferring the paper to her other hand (she decided paper couldn’t possibly aggravate the injury), she ruffled his hair with her good hand and added with a light smile, “Just don’t give yourself a concussion. I doubt I can carry you, and I doubt even more that you want to see Kiwi.”

Without another word, she got down onto her knees and began to pick the sheets of paper off the ground. Beginning to make a pile of paper in her arms she glanced over her shoulder at Crash every so often, only to turn her head away as soon as she thought he would catch her looking. [i]‘My resolution not to stare at people seems to be going far.’[/i] She thought sarcastically. Whenever her expression was out of Crash’s view, she chewed on her lower lip with a slightly determined look on her face. [i]‘… No more weird troubles Kathy. Just think before you talk, and everything will be fine.’[/i]

After gathering quite a few of the sheets, she stood back up and handed them back to Crash. “I haven’t been checking for the chronological order or anything, so you’ll probably want to do that later.”

Looking back at the table, she realized that the number of people there had drastically decreased. In fact, the only ones there were Lion and the girl giving him a good scratch. “Where did Little Feather and Kenshi go?” She asked the two from afar, in the loudest voice she dared in a library.
