When a slightly wet, slick, clammy amphibian goes flying from the gentle control of your hands to the open space in front of your face, one's natural reaction is to lean back. Which means the haphazard aim toward her shoulder ends up a touch lower.
Kate may never use the word 'ample' to describe her own bosom, but that makes it no less true when the frog is safely cushioned from falling to the floor, and a slightly red Kate scrabbles for the crowned creature once more.
"Whoopsie daisy."
To put things in a lighthearted way.

There's more'n a few curious cats 'round here, an' quick on the draw as I may be, I ain't sure I could save you in time should one come by while you're floppin' about like a fish outta water. So if you'll simmer down, you an' I will figure a way of communicatin' that don't involve you spelunkin' or becomin' somebody's dinner."
She straightens her blouse, placing him gently on the ground. Blue eyes peer into panicked gold, a concerned line between her brows.
