Richard felt like he was bumping into more and more people these days. Ah, well, it couldn't be helped. As long as they were both alright in the end, though he'd usually hope for more than alright. Still good was what he would want, but obviously when you're bumping into someone something is going to go wrong. He wondered if he should yell something at the driver or if they'd be out of range by now. Too far gone, Richard decided, and hardly the right thing for a gentleman to do when he gave it more than a second of thought.

He nodded when the woman said that they were both alive, a fact worthy of noting for sure. He'd hate to be a ghost by mistake, and if he was honest being dead in general did not seem to suit him.

"I'm glad, Miss." he gave the surrounding area a quick look around, feeling like he may have gotten turned around in his hurry to both avoid the horses and apologizing to the young lady for bumping into her. Though he was still in Diagon Alley in the very least, that much was clear. "I'm not terribly good at directions, do you suppose you could point me to Flourish and Blotts? They do have such nice books."
