it's unfortunate how often something like this happens. shiro's excellent body awareness and gifted feline grace are no match for wonky muscles in his eyes or legs. most of the time it happened when no one was looking, sometimes he could catch himself. of course that wasn't the case this time.
he really isn't sure whether he should be feeling worse or better that it's a guy in a suit. with a very bright spider on it that does make him grateful he doesn't ever have to wear anything like it. hidden somewhere far away, black murrs at his mistake. she knows him well enough by now to be able to judge when a symptom is going to cause problems. only her presence distracting him prevents shiro from swatting away gloved hand. his vision still isn't as clear as he'd like, but he gets feet under him and enough atmosphere aided momentum to get up.
"i know what a concussion is. i didn't hit that hard." there was a reason he made sure it became long ingrained instinct to fall as properly as possible. going backwards is the easiest to protect his head from. "do you uh-" he gestures at the outfit "-do this...often?"
