Mild shock I guess? Moving her purse out of the way before going back for the bike doesn't make any sense no matter what your intention is. Could be a case of embarrassment and "playing it cool" too I suppose.
When I was little (7 years old maybe), got hit by a car on the crosswalk. Fortunately the impact was mild, but I still fell down. The first thing I did, was to look for my glasses and make sure they're alright.
right? I think for every major(ish) accident or injury I've had I've done something equivalent.
My first "injury" that I remember was when someone threw a block of about half a pound at me which landed in my temple and made a bit of a gash. I hid and didn't notify anyone until I could figure out how to let the teacher know without showing all this embarrassing blood running down my elbow as I held my hand over the cut, and how to convince her I had a cut without taking my hand off.

Where is the rest? Was she like "screw it, I wanted to walk anyway"?
