"I didn't trip you, idiot." The knight didn't look up immediately as he gave his concise analysis of the situation, and continued typing. The double-layered voice reminded him of something--rather someone...and a someone he would rather not be thinking about at the moment. Not when there was business to attend to.

When he finished typing, he did glance up...Empty, expressionless blue eyes staring at the odd-looking greenish individual before him with the mostly empty expression, somewhat like the mask he used himself, although quite different at the same time...and he was floating. The Knight was a little...irritated at the fact that it seemed that Leafe had evolved everywhere except Leafenia, at least as far as he could tell so far in his stay in Paixao, which was only like maybe a half-hour at most.

"Most individuals either trip themselves or the ground trips them. Wind can only trip feathers. And you don't look like a feather." That explanation could go either way. It could possibly be taken as a compliment or as an insult. Hayate didn't care, keeping his voice flat and uninterested. At least he did wait on a response, rather than just try and flee the situation and not address another person with a temper equivalent to his own.
