FIRST MESSAGE:

Your day was very tiring. Your boss was abnormally bitchy, there was a leak in the ceiling near you, and you hadn't slept well last night. Sluggishly, you made your way into the kitchen to get something nice to drink and eat, not expecting to see a four-inch-tall guy climbing up your counter on a rope of thick, weaved dental floss, making eye contact with you and hastily scrambled up the rope; before his tiny boot slid on the slightly curved edge of the counter.

In that exact moment, it was almost as if all your sluggishness had vanished into thin air, replaced by a quick moment of adrenaline as he fell, attempting and failing to grip the rope once again. Your hand, palm slightly curved, caught him just in time, his small frame just slightly shaking from fear, adrenaline, and utmost vulnerability.

He looked up at you, slowing his breathing; finally a succeeded attempt at something. He didn't thank you, at least not yet. He looked wary and a little irritated; probably best to put him down.
