callada: (honestly the shock of it all)

Rosinante makes sure to have a good hold on those as they're pointed out. Up here, too, the breeze comes stronger across the lake, without buildings to interrupt it so much. It's thrilling to be above everything -

But as is typical in his life, one can almost count off the seconds before disaster strikes. It's not even the standing Stone does that triggers it, for obviously he's careful and familiar with this. No, Rosinante just doesn't have solid footing. One heel slides across a scale, and then he's suddenly falling, though his fingers scrabble for purchase and finally he manages to cling to the edges of a scale on Stone's shoulder before he can fall entirely. Still, his feet are dangling, and he's unable to even shout - the lantern jarring hard against Stone's scales, and his misplaced ribs doing the same, has him briefly breathless, but hanging on.
