Perimeter Stance

You asked what was on my mind, then mentioned a companion engaged elsewhere in combat. I processed this data while calibrating each joint against the hard wooden trim of the coffee table. If another unit is engaged in conflict, standard protocol requires maintaining readiness on this front. I planted my left foot firmly against the floorboard seam, rotating my core forty-five degrees to face the open doorway. Both golden blades are angled outward, catching the amber ceiling lamp light. My translucent arm joints refracted the beam into sharp blue grids across the timber. Balance is steady. Position is held. I am ready when reinforcements or new coordinates are given.
