Llewellyn’s expression turned a little awkward at the mention of the candle, oops… Hopefully it hadn’t broken or anything in the fall. Once he was stable on his feet, he lowered his arms and the bag, glancing at her candles with some distraction. “Ah— yeah, um…”

Was he going to fall? Not immediately, no, but it would undoubtedly happen at some point if she watched him long enough. Llewellyn could trip over his own two feet as easily as he could on solid, flat ground. But for the moment, he nodded as he responded. “No, I’m not… Not now, anyway. Just got a little startled, really.” He responded, checking his bag of baked goods a moment later. “Should’ve been paying more attention to my surroundings, but I just found this lovely bakery and I suppose I was a little distracted by the find.” He added, gesturing behind him.

Then the detective paused, seeming to think for a moment. He was considering the directness of their collision course carefully, “I… don’t suppose you were heading that way yourself? If you weren’t I do recommend it where it seems to be in the same direction of your destination. The quality and selection are both quite good.”
