She flops onto the floor, entirely over it and deciding that lying here in the middle of the dusty floor is exactly the right decision. Really, what was the point in trying more?

Saiden comes in, laughing, as he ought. He offers to help, and she really considers not moving. Two boys ought to be enough to push a stove. She could get up and start moving the other furniture, she supposes, or she could help the boys, or she could just keep lying here and give up. The third option is the most tempting.
Fine, she will not go with the third option. She props herself up and pushes at the stove with her legs, though admittedly, it’s a bit half-hearted this time around.
