Meeting people so wholly different than the people he knew back home. Moving into a place that looked like it could have been right out of some old storybook, and starting, what he felt like would be, an adventure perfectly suited to the same.<br/>Actually, he was kinda surprised at being the only person wandering around, who couldn't sleep.<br/><br/>Not to say that meant he was expecting someone to come sneaking up on him while he was in the middle of a passive thought, and mid-step, with his football just leaving his hands to rocket high up towards the ceiling.<br/>The warning had him stopping in his tracks, and turning just his head, to see the blonde who had appeared behind him. After all, she definitely hadn't been there a minute ago. He'd just passed by that spot, and sure he wasn't looking for anyone to be there, but that didn't mean he was totally unaware of his surroundings. Like the vase she was pointing at, he'd been aware of that too.<br/><br/>His eyes didn't follow her finger, they stayed focused on her face as she scolded him. But one of his brows did quirk up a bit.<br/>While she had him distracted, thes brown rubber extension of his arm, spun as it sailed back down with unforgiving speed. The bomb, promising destruction for any fragile or valuable piece of furniture that could end up in its path, tumbling down and ready to CRASH…..!<br/><em>...pap</em><br/>….until it landed safely in his palms. Soft and tender, had the ball been an egg, there wouldn't be a scuff from the game of catch.<br/><br/>But what could you expect? He'd been practically attached to a football for years. He could catch it while flying through the air, with three guys tacking him to the ground, even without looking back to make sure it was still flying towards him from sixty yards away! So yeah, he caught it.<br/><strong>"...well, if anything was gonna make me fumble, it'd be getting snuck up on, in the middle of the night."</strong><br/><br/>He turned in place so he was fully facing the girl without moving closer to her. A warm, friendly smile crossing his face, his natural tension breaker.<strong>"Don't worry, I'm pretty good with one of these anyway. So the priceless valuables will be safe."</strong>He spoke with a soft chuckle in his voice. He also held one end of the football in his palm, maneuvering it around like the most natural thing in the world.<br/><strong>"I'm Marshall, Wood, nice to meet you…?"</strong>A slight upward inflection on the end, in case she didn't want to introduce herself.
