Bruh, did you turn into an airhead in the way of being a ghost? Instead of throwing random pickups, what about apologizing for scaring her and explain your intentions? Maybe that will make things more easier and sensible, Jack Frost.
(For the question, E. I'd freeze, be cautious, and see what they'll do first. I've seen a hallucination/ghost a few feet away from me; I did just that, and then laughed when it vanished after half a minute.)
