Holly wouldn't normally scowled, but now she only felt... distress? Unhappiness? It wasn't an emotion she was used to feeling, and it was certainly one she didn't like! She'd had no plans to get into a confrontation this morning, and now it seemed like she couldn't avoid it! Maybe she was just taken aback by Miss Thompsett's sudden outburst.

"I always do." Holly was many things, but she wasn't clumsy. "Maybe you should be a little nicer. I merely bumped into you."
