<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 15px">A little distracted with Jason's abrupt appearance, he didn't realize Edward had begun talking once again til he heard "gone and taken notes...". Amused, he sucked on the pine-green straw for a moment and aimed for the science department building. "Edward. I'm joking. We're not gonna ditch Biochemistry,". Perhaps the kid didn't understand the difference between playful and serious, or perhaps he hadn't been obvious in his own casual nature. On the bright side, he'd likely spend the majority of his time conversing with Edward since he claimed to have the notes accomplished. Plus, he couldn't afford to have a dozen 'sick days' on hs record if he hoped to maintain his GPA and punctuality. <br/>

Replaying their scenerio in his mind, he couldn't help but laugh to himself over Edward's 'assertiveness'. <i>Wait. </i>"What happened to your hand?" Halting on the sidewalk, he stretched for the sprained wrist but his cup blocked him from actually grasping the sleeve. A snippet of the cast poked from underneath the hem, which is how he noticed the awkward lump extending from the knuckles to the wrist. Shaking his head lightly, he rotated his coffee to the secondary hand, the limb weighed down with his laptop case. As opposed to seizing Edward's wound for inspection, he laced his free arm around the male's shoulders and subtly resuming their direction to the structure looming ahead.<br/>

"If you fought with someone and lost, you don't have to tell me,". This time, he meant what he said. Tiger had been in about thirty fights to understand; he never enjoyed admitting defeat or acting like a dog with its tail between the haunches. Regardless, he believed a little advice seemed worthy of lending to the Sophomore. "You should attend boxing sessions or self-defense. To bulk up these muscles,". Squeezing his fingers on Edward's bicep, he smirked softly and continued. "If you clear your schedule of a few study sessions, then maybe you can swing around my work and I'll show ya some tricks,". </span></span>
