[Zell's first thought, while he still hasn't recovered enough to really pay attention to whoever he'd bumped into, is relief that he at least hasn't bumped into someone who'll take it as an excuse to start a fight.
Then he takes a proper look at the stranger and can't even attempt to hide how the colour drains from his face. He's seen a lot already since he's been here, but he has to admit this is a new one on him and he's not entirely sure where to start.
Zell's not a kedan, they both evidentially know this. He's not sure this guy isn't and either way, apparently-a-skeleton isn't someone Zell's used to dealing with.
And so he gapes for a long moment, giving his brain time to spill the first thing that comes to his head.]
I was already leaving. Didn't realise I wasn't supposed to be here.
[Because he can't help but think this guy's some sort of enforcer and that he's outstayed his already limited welcome in this district.]
