Originally Posted by Emzily At this point, Theodore had no idea who or what was going on - if he had known someone was throwing popcorn into his mouth, he would be absolutely furious and probably resort to a duel, but he soon focussed on a woman standing in front of him offering him water. While she started off as his angel rescuer with the sun beaming behind her head, he soon narrowed his eyes crossly at her, shocked that she at least wasn’t trying to smack him on the back. Useless.
Still, he grabbed the water and tried to sip, and cough whatever it was up. Luckily the popcorn piece soon moved enough that it moved up into his mouth, where he was able to pick it out with his fingers. He was so confused by the entire situation. He hadn’t eaten or purchased popcorn in a long time.
Back to his rescuer, who had resumed her status of an Angel with the sun shining behind her, Theodore let out a relieved breath but wasn’t quite ready to smile - too traumatised. “Phew… thank you so much.” He screwed the lid back onto the water bottle tightly and handed it back to her. “Did you see what the heck happened there?” He needed some insight now. While a duel certainly would be fun, she wasn't openly looking to start much more of a scene in the middle of the park. Besides, she was too busy being somewhat invested in making sure he didn't die. But clearly not THAT invested given A) it was her fault and B) she still hadn't done much more than offer a bottle. It was fairly useless - but she was used to letting others do things for her, including life saving. It was amazing no one else had noticed the nearly dying man.
Had she been able to hear his thoughts, she certainly would have liked the dubbed title - even if she was anything but. But that didn't feel like something that was a good idea for her to openly admit - so when he happened to ask if she knew what happened, Rose gave a small shrug of her shoulders before letting her hands drop to her side - one moving behind her back to wandlessly vanish the bag of popcorn she'd been consuming early. "Perhaps a stray bird dropped it in your mouth from the beak of a bird or something? People are always shamelessly feeding the birds here in the park. And they're always trying to fly off with what they can get to keep the other birds from stealing it from them." It was far fetched - given how in the world would a bird drop it exactly down his throat - but considering a pigeon was currently attempting to make away with one of the kernels she'd missed with... the feathered fiend was at least somewhat corroborating her story.
Also, it was the only story she could think of that could still be somewhat chaotic without siccing the man on a poor soul in the park. Not that that was beyond her, but they could have easily seen her being the culprit.
