Trying to get his spryness back he stood up and gathered a few of the papers. Well, seemed they were all blank! Jelal, no stranger to the importance of parchment, immediately began to feel guilt creep up on him, starting at the end of his tail and working its way up. He glanced down at the squirrel at his footpaws, who looked quite sullen about the whole mess. Cursed narrow hallways and stone ramparts... wasn't there a way for military fortresses to be practical and comfortable at the same time? Or was it some kind of unspoken rule that soldiers were at their best when they were knocking each other around in the halls? He almost regretted signing up for tower work. "Oooh..." Jelal groaned guiltily, arranging the parchment he had gathered into a pile. He grinned to lighten the mood. "I thought you squirrels were supposed to be good at balance, eh?" It was a somewhat lame joke for the occasion, so Jelal kept helping swiping up parchments and gathering them in his arms. He swished his tail to get a cramp out of it from when it had fallen, inadvertently splattering more fallen papers around and nearly swiping Orion in the head with it. Turned away as he was he didn't even notice his second gaffe, still apologizing for the first one. "Ahh... sorry about that mate, but y'see, corridors 'r so narrow 'ere, tis like an exercise in ambush tactics when you round a corner... ahem.." He held out his free paw towards the squirrel, both to greet him and help him off the dusty floor, wincing at the way he cradled his elbows. He'd have to apologize for that too. "M'name's Jelal Wavesimmer. Call me Jelal, if it please you, sir."
