Most of her weight shifted to the one shelf, the shelf beneath the shelf upon which the book she was reaching for rested, her other leg outstretched, awkwardly bearing only a minuscule proportion of her own weight, meant more as an emergency fallback than as any real means of support, twisted awkwardly and still stretching insistently to get the book she was aiming for - and Rin froze awkwardly, tensing at Edgeworth's voice.

The moment of tension did it, of course. Rin hadn't really thought about the possibility of falling, and the thoughtlessness of course was what had led her to reach so precariously for the book.

As falls went, she'd taken worse, and she took the full-body flail and scramble for grip before she fell onto her rear well enough. It hurt a bit, of course. Reminiscent, suddenly, of seeing Anotsu again for the first time, in a display that had been equally ineffectual and stupid.

"Oof."

She'd certainly had more articulate moments in the past. And more dignified. Instead of getting up right away Rin remained awkwardly sitting on the floor, glancing away and feeling the beginnings of a blush creeping over her features.
