[ Given he's still got one arm in a sling and he can only cling to the banister with one hand it's honestly even worse. why does god hate him personally?
also akechi why are you like this. isaac just kinda stares at him. ]
A ... detective?
[ .... ]
Wait! I remember now. I read your thing!
[ TWO CAN PLAY THIS GAME
but also instead of continuing he actually kind of turns red and shuts up, looking away? what's up with that ]
Yeah, whatever humor is there is just going to fly over his head. Goodbye. Still smiling, though he now looks an itty bitty confused.]
... Or we could step back into the hallway. [Since. Isaac is still at the top of the stairs.] Unless there's something urgent you must take care of downstairs? I don't want to keep you if that's the case.
[ yeahhhhh it's fine currently only isaac gets the joke and it is not a very good joke.
also for some reason he hadn't considered that and just kinda
pauses. ]
... not really. Okay, good point.
[ It's with some small relief that he edges away from the stairs
.... very slowly ... while wobbling ....
until he can reach a wall and brace himself on it with a huge sigh of relief. ]
I've just kinda been dreading it all morning since I lost my sense of balance... [ softly, staring into the middle distance ] I never understood how terrifying stairs are until yesterday.
[Slowly raising his eyebrows while watching him wobble, uhhhh. Just going to inch a little closer just in case the 13-year-old suddenly tilts over and eats shit. Bad.]
Your sense of balance? [Gasp. Shock. Alarm. That's a new one.] Are you going to be alright? Perhaps it'd be for the best if you avoid stairs altogether.

Hey, what the heckie. He takes a step closer, leaning forward like he's trying to get a good look at his face again.]
Yes...? Is something wrong?

[ ............................................ ]
This is probably a talk for the bottom of the stairs, [ he'll say, with a sort of very rueful, faint humor. ]

[ isaac don't say that so casually ]
What about you? Seems like everyone's lost something.
no subject
[Isaac you're killing him... Probably. He sighs.]
I've lost something as well, but there's no need to concern yourself on my account. It hasn't affected my performance as a detective.
no subject
This is like the least deadly thing I've faced down before 8 AM.
[ ... okay??????
anyway ]
What?? I wasn't gonna doubt your detective skills or whatever. I was ... making conversation? You don't have to share if you don't want, it's fine.
