"No." She was sure the stairs would pose a problem, but she wanted to go downstairs and so she would. "But I don't want to be alone in my room. I'm not good at being alone." She begged him with her eyes to not tell her to go back into her room, to simply let her try. The worst thing to happen was her falling down the stairs. "I can sit down there, listen to everbody talking and laughing. I can even sleep in a corner."

He looked back at her. “Do you need help?” Shana followed him out of the room, closed the door behind her. She took a steadying breath and walked to the stairs. They weren't long. She could do this. She had to. "Do you need help?" Rob asked and she wanted to shake her head, to tell him, that she could make it down safely on her own, but she wasn't sure about the safely part. "Only if it's not too much effort on your part."

She took her time, reached out for his shoulder now and then to catch her balance, made a short break, when she felt like her legs would stop working. Ben had been right, she should have stayed in her bed, but going back up was no option. It was on the last steps, that her foot slipped and her arm wasn't strong enough to keep her upright. Unceremoniously she stumbled down, into Rob.

Unceremoniously she stumbled down, into Rob. Rob had been prepared. He had underestimated how far she would get before slipping. Putting a foot backwards to steady himself she suddenly stumbled forwards into him. Using one hand to grab the railing, Rob made sure he didn’t also slip, acting like a little wall to prevent her from falling all the way down. Putting his other hand on her shoulder he tried to push her upright again. He looked down. They were on almost the last steps anyway. “Almost there,” He said, stepping a little back.

They were on almost the last steps anyway. “Almost there,” He said, stepping a little back. "I feel like a ninety year old woman." Shana complained, when she stood again on her own feet, her heart beating fast. This was embarressing. She'd known what could happen, but it had been distant, she hadn't expected how easy she would reach the limit of what her body could take. With a sigh she placed her foot on the next step. She'd never been that gravely injured before and if she was honest with herself, she'd been tired before they started their third round of sparring. "Thank you." She smiled at him gratefully when she finally managed to reach the bottom of the stairs.

She smiled at him gratefully when she finally managed to reach the bottom of the stairs. “It’s fine,” Rob said, and walked forwards to where everyone was sitting. “Hey everyone,” he said, sitting on a chair and tilting it towards them. He nodded to Jamie. “Another new person? That’s good.” @Dr. Dapper Edited April 24, 2019 by I think I am here.
+Sorana she/her Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 Shana followed him, but then walked over to Ben. She sat down on the floor and leaned back against the chair, reliefed to be sitting again. Smiling she rested her head against his leg and let the voices, the sounds of the house wash over her, listened to them without really thinking about the words, glad that they were here, that she wasn't alone. @Lunamor

He had been too absorbed in his book to notice her and Rob come downstairs. He almost started to say something, to reprimand her for not staying in bed. He stopped himself, however. Shana had been through enough today- she didn’t need him fussing at her. Plus, walking up the stairs again would just tire her even more. He reached down and placed a hand on her head, as if making sure there was nothing more he could heal.
