A gasp left Ember's mouth as she crashed down toward the hard tile floor, but before she could impact the ground, Elric dove toward her.
His sturdy arms supported her, righting her back on the floor. Ember's face grew red, and she gave a small nod to Elric.
"T- thank you…"
Elric looked between Ember and Otto, who was climbing off of the ground.
"Maybe we should get a step ladder or something, I don't want you to get hurt trying this again."
Ember pointed up at the cupboard angrily.
"Or just get rid of that thing and put the dishes elsewhere! There's no way you can reach the top shelf, either!"
Elric just shrugged.
"We don't need those bowls on the top shelf very often, they'd just be wasting space elsewhere."
Elric released Ember from his arms, then nodded toward the music room.
"The producer and the other lead singers are discussing something. I figured it would be better for you to add your input than for me to try to join in. I can take over the cooking for now."
