"Ah..." he started to say, then forgot it all.

He had been concentrating so hard on just finding her, that he realized that he didn't know what he was going to say when he DID find her. He stood there with his mouth open trying to find his train of thought...

She blinked at him, seemingly not sure what to say herself. He grasped at the only thought that came to his mind.

"Ah, I've been looking all over for you! I, er, need your help! I need to get a present for my sister for her birthday, and I can't figure out what to get her. Can you help me?"

It was literally all he could think of.
