while odin has been The Stair Master for quite some time, his skills have much favored crawling up the stairs; after making it to the top of a set of steps, if and when he decides that he might like to come down he seems to have not quite proven to himself whether or not coming down head first is more or less risky than attempting the task feet first.

i think he might intuit that although there are certain benenfits to be gained by getting a good look at where he’s going, it can carry a heavy penalty if he looses his grasp. but he usually tries the feet first method only after going with his head first.

i wonder why, but of course, he’s not telling 🙂
