What'd you almost lose?

I was telling Ellie good night and nearly lost my balance.

Ellie said, "what happened?"

Me, "I nearly lost my balanced."

Ellie, "I will fine it for you."

Me, "Thanks." while giggling to myself

Ellie, "Here you go." reaching out her hands to me. Still, not laughing, straight faced, and seriously returning my balance to me.

Me, while reaching out my hand, "Thanks Ellie for looking out for me and returning my balance."

Ellie, "You're welcome."

All of this was a serious conversation to Ellie except at the very end when she could tell I thought she was funny, she somewhat laughed too.
