[Christine lets out a small scream as Zeke starts at her sudden appearance and, in turn, startles her with his own. She stumbles back a few steps, ready to flee, but still... mess. :(
She watches silently for only a beat as the man sets to cleaning up the spill, moving to claim a rag from the counter a moment later. She tucks up the ends of her dress into her belted midsection, a not particularly ladylike gesture but effective in keeping the cloth free from the spill, and moves over to him.]
No, I am sorry... I did not mean to startle you. Here, let me help.
[And protest or not, the young woman is down on her knees next to him the next moment, helping sponge up the mess.]
HUZZAH! /o/
