"Ow, ow, ow..." Lin Ye lay on the floor, grimacing. The searing pain in his tailbone reminded him of the time Frisk had kicked him.
The little cat girl startled, her fluffy tail instantly puffing up to three times its size. "S-s-s-sorry! The carpet was too slippery!"
Lin Ye propped himself up with a wry smile. "It's fine, it's fine. I told you I was really unlucky."
