❝ woah— ❞ emil leans back in his chair the moment he sees them stumble. it's one of those kinds of things that happen a little too quickly to react properly, but when she comes towards him emil does his best to break her fall. a hand reaches out and takes hold of their shoulder and his arm snakes around their waist to keep them in place, ensuring they don't spill onto the floor. he half chuckles at the mishap. she doesn't weigh much in his lap and he hardly minds. better to have ended up on him than on the floor or worse. they easily could have hit their head on the corner of the table. ❝ coulda been a real mess, ❞ he comments. ❝ you alright? ❞
