[ Admittedly, Red wasn't completely paying attention himself to the people around him as much as he should have, walking and talking to the Pikachu on his shoulder. He was aware enough that they were there, but apparently not to how close that man out of the corner of his eye really was. Pikachu's squeak of a warning isn't quick enough to make him move though, and the side of his arm hits against him, with more force and bluntness that it should for just knocking a bit into a person.
He doesn't fall, but the bump does make him stumble, Pikachu losing his own balance from where he sits and finding himself on the ground, at least with good enough reflexes to hit his feet. Red's stunned himself for a second, wondering what he knocked but not seeing anything other than the man himself.
But he finds some composure before the man does, enough to notice the way he stares more intensely than he himself had. ]
Sorry. [ He touches the side of his own elbow, just gently, feeling that good ol' funny bone nerve tingling. ] Are you okay?
[ Pikachu on the floor is okay! The mouse takes a step close to Red's foot, looking up at the man. ]
