[ Albert looks up, too, when he hears the creak. But it takes him a beat to register what's happening or what to do when Webby keeps on talking, acting more nonchalant about this than one might expect. He skips just a beat too long, and just as he goes to step back, the tree branch (and Webby) comes tumbling down. It's not a direct hit, but she still definitely crashes into him enough to knock him on his butt.
But after another moment to compose himself, his reaction is maybe a little... unexpected. He just starts laughing. Peals of laughter, doesn't even bother clambering to his feet. Just stays on the ground a few seconds as he takes in the culmination of this absurd interaction. Hands down strangest way he's met anyone — and he met his best friend by pretending he was a human about to murder him, so... The bar is high. But this still takes the cake. He sits up once she's to her feet, grinning at her and wiping a tear from his eye. He stays seated, crossing his legs and holding his feet with his hands as he leans forward conversationally. ]
Ahahah, brava, brava...! Nice falling. You called it and everything, hah!
[ ...Does not even think to ask if she's okay or not. She's fine, she's fine. He's far more concerned with congratulating her for that...? She probably didn't expect to be complimented for crashing into him, but here we are. ]
