HAYATE

With a shocked yelp, Hayate tripped over the root of a tree and went bowling straight into...Maki.

Oh great.

He stood up and brushed himself off, carefully avoiding the bandaged areas. "Erm. I suppose I should mention that the previous owner of my sandals is about ten seconds away. I'm also hoping he doesn't have the guts to run into a forest. But in the off-chance he does, I don't feel like being in sight, so..."

Hayate took a mock bow towards Maki and took off again past here the way she'd come.
