Stepping onto the board it immediately slanted one way, taking a bit of effort to right itself as he adjusted his stance, barely biting back the urge to grumble beneath his breath. He did not want to lean on Kirko for support, out of pride honestly, but the whole affair was far more awkward than he would like and not what he had in mind at all.
