Sid shook his head. Sighing might be taken the wrong way, so instead he ended up sucking back spit once again. He still wasn't quite up to the point that he could catch it before he started to drool. "Ih cool, reaw... really... I mean ih."

"I... ah... I'll j-just... um... l-leave you b-be, then... I d-didn't... m-mean to be a b-bother..." The frog-man sprung forward in a clumsy hop, landing heavily and clumsily. It was no wonder he still wore his janitor jumper, what with hos often he colided with the dirty ground.

Sid couldn't keep himself from uttering a frustrated scoff, but then he failed to realize how that could have been taken. "Ya-yo... yer not," he said, practically spitting the last words.
Then he realized how all that must sound. He sighed- at himself- and that perhaps only made it worse.

After another hop, he glanced over his shoulder, eyebrows raised, "Ah.. s-sorry?"

Newt opened his mouth and closed it again, feeling worse as he picked up his broom handle again, readying to flee.

"Whoa, hol' on... I din'n mean ih lih... lik... ah fug. ******** pressed his free hand to his forehead. If he'd only practiced a bit more then maybe he could have babbled something close to an apology... Or not so much an apology as a mess of words that would, the more he thought of it, make things worse.
He couldn't seem to win either way.
"Thih isn'... isn't wor-king so I'll jus'... go..." he thumbed behind him just before he turned to do just that.

"N-n-no! No! Ah..." Newt moaned, quickly leaping away, leaving his poll behind him, "I'll... I'll go! D-don't.... d-don't w-worry... I... I d-didn't... d-didn't mean to... to...!!"

"I know," Sid said, but by then Newt was already hopping away. Catching him would have meant moving quickly, reaching out, even risking falling to make a grab for him. And even if he did, then what? More misunderstandings, probably.
So Sid let him go, rubbing his jaw irritably all the while. He noticed the pole only after Newt was a good distance away. Sighing, he went through the slow and arduous task of bending down to pick it up. Returning it could, he hoped, be like a half-assed olive branch. Or something.
He'd get to that later.
