A Gentle Balance

Um... hello? I blinked softly against the bright, clean surface beneath my boots. It felt... remarkably still. Tentatively, I tried shifting my weight from one foot to the other. To my surprise, my knees yielded, balancing me upright with a quiet rustle. Behind my hip, a small paper tag brushed lightly against the smooth white tabletop. I reached down cautiously, touching the crisp edge with my gloved hand, feeling the firm surface holding me steady. Everything seems quite tidy and safe right here.
