With the last rock, he swung himself forward and up onto his feet. He started to slowly stand upright when he lost his balance and plopped back down into the chair.
Trying to catch his breath, he explained to Tobias, "Some--sometimes, this takes...a few attempts." He looked over at Tobias with a little bit of a guilty look, "I'm sorry to ask, but would you mind helping me?"
