It was probably a bit of luck that Izanami had decided to tuck his own beads in a safe place; the tightness of his obi. With the multitude of layers and how tight it was about his middle? It proved to be a well enough spot for them.
For the time being, at least.
The bump was cause enough for a bit of a stumble forward. Something like a surprised gasp is choked back and he turns, eye just a bit wide as if he had been expecting it to be some sort of friendly animal. But it wasn't. It was just a man apologizing and picking up his -
"Ah."
Izanami, smiling, knelt down a moment later. He may as well help him pick up those scattered beads, while making small talk. "No, it's fine. I hadn't been watching where I was going - this city's festival makes it so easy to make one's self forget their surroundings."
