[ sylvain, meanwhile, awkwardly clings to childe like a starfish as he tries (and fails) to regain his balance... peak romcom material. his head is spinning, but at least he can still make conversation ]
What can I say? I like to move fast.
[ yah, he's in wuv with tartaglia ajax childe now <3 (no) ]
...No, it would honestly make more sense if I had slipped. It was a book I read. Or tried to.
[ he points to the culprit now lying on the ground ]
I think I must've triggered some kinda spell.
[ also is childe gonna set him down now or what... ur gonna make him blush at this rate ///// ]
[ Luckily for Sylvain, Tartaglia has a firm grip on him. He does his best to steady the other man while he glances at the culprit, which is a book lying on the ground.
He isn't letting go just yet. ]
A book made you slip? [ Does it really need a spell for that... Well, okay. ] Maybe we shouldn't be reading anything while we look.
[ That won't help make their search any easier. If anything, it'll make it ten times more difficult but if books are capable of knocking someone off balance, what other tricks are possible? Better to be safe than sorry, in his opinion. ]
[ well, he takes note this (twink) slim-looking guy is actually much stronger than he appears, because sylvain is not light in any sense of the word. ]
It's too late for me, but save yourself the same mistake. [ but also don't leave him he's not sure how long this status effect will take to wear off. (oh goddess, what if it doesn't)
...he waits a moment, before tentatively answering, ] Should be good now, thanks.
[ if childe does let go... sylvain will immediately land ass-first on the floor. and flounder around a little. ]
...Let's keep looking around to see if there's a key somewhere.
[ it's fine, this is fine, he'll just SLOWLY CRAWL AROUND if he has to. NO BIG. ]

Are you good if I let go?
