It has him jerking backward, arms coming out automatically as though to catch himself, even though he's headed in the opposite direction of the drop. Hard not to over-correct when the alternative's a fifty mile faceplant to splat town.
Rather than acknowledging that the sudden stranger has a point, he opts instead for a frustrated glare. Clearly, this guy's the source of all of his problems.]
Gee, thanks. That's very reassuring.
[Except it's not, because it all feels pretty damn real.
Like, impossibly real. Like the wind on his face, the way his heart races when he peers down, it's all... real. He's not so sure he's ready to let go of that.]
