Apathy. Greed. Corruption. Power. HOPE.
"That's true," Benjamin agreed. "But maybe you could give me some decorating tips sometime, since you're so good at it? I can't stay a novice forever," he added with a smile. Perhaps, once he got more situated, Benjamin could make a supply run downtown for dorm decorations of his own. After Ashley's urging, Benjamin removed his bag from the floor and re-positioned it on the neatly-organized table near the front of the room. "Oh, all right. I didn't want to take up too much of your space. But I guess someone might trip over it if it was on the floor, huh?"
Once his task was completed, Benjamin turned around and accepted the water bottle Ashley extended to him with a smile. "Sure, thanks. It sounds like we have a walk ahead of us. I could take a break from all the caffeine, anyway." Benjamin traded a friendly wink with Ashley as he consented to her plans for the two of them. "All set. After you."
He saw Ashley begin to fall forward from when she slipped on her rug. Benjamin reached out his arm in an attempt to catch her, but reacted too slowly and watched, in what appeared to be slow motion, as she tumbled to the floor. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?" The words tumbled out of his mouth with urgency, but, thankfully, Ashley seemed to recover quickly. As she produced some medical supplies and took a seat at her desk, Benjamin smoothed out the corner of the rug that she had tripped on with the edge of his shoe. He then hovered, slightly concerned, around Ashley as she tended to her minor injury. "Did you need me to get anything for you?"
