Snippet #2246559

Axel rubbed his head, the aura dispelling from around his legs, revealing black metal running blades, which he did mainly to keep them from falling off mid-run. This girl had taken him by surprise, which actually kind of startled him, that almost never happened.
"Actually, I didn't expect to run into anyone. Sorry about that-" he paused for a bit, bringing himself up by swinging his legs out in almost a breakdance-style move, then using his momentum to push onto his hands, then finally pushing off so he would land on his blades with a little flip. It was easier for him than standing up, due to his not having flexible feet that would stay strong on a base. "I'm usually a bit more attentive." He shook her offered hand firmly, but not to the point it hurt. "Name's Axel. Pleasure to meet you, pain to have run into you like that." The pun could have killed a small town if bad jokes were lethal. "And as far as I've seen, there hasn't been a single person around, save you, so I was just running for running's sake! You should try it, it's fun!" His tone made it clear he wasn't being rude, he was simply someone who enjoyed running.
