life doesn't discriminate

Tim doesn’t look up at first from his papers when he hears the door open, assuming it’s just another student. He only looks up when he hears Althea’s voice. He’s a little surprised to see her here, but he smiles at her. “Of course you can stay. You deserve a break.”

          ❝ ‘N then if I tap my foot twice like this … ❞ Link’s taken the liberty of showcasing the new functions of the prosthetic leg they acquired in their absence. First day back at Paragon and the first instinct is to SHOW OFF to younger students ; how very Link Wayne of them. On brand , as they’d say. But they do what they describe , tapping their toe twice to the ground and watching as the food expands into a skateboard. ❝ - I get a coolass skateboard !! ‘N it works , just watch - ❞ They balance their other foot on the edge , perfectly whirling around the area. ❝ It’s fuckin’ li- SHIT. ❞ They collide with another body , hoping to not send them toppling over - and the kids watching them giggle just a tad. Link sighs. ❝ ‘Kay , I get it - it’s funny , now go to class since you wanna apparently laugh at my failed attempt at badassery. ❞ They step back , tapping their foot again to return to its normal state. They looked the other figure up and down , hands on their hips. ❝ Sorry about that - y’good ?? … What’s , uh , what’s poppin ?? ❞

Tim can’t pretend he isn’t at least a little bit alarmed when he sees this interesting new feature of his sibling’s leg. He’s equally incapable of pretending to be shocked when Link crashes directly into him, he sees it coming but he can’t make himself move out of the way fast enough to prevent the collision. Tim fidgets as Link shoos away the children who had been watching their performance, staring down at his shoes until they speak to him. “I’m fine,” Tim assures them. “What about you, are you alright?”

“It’s supposed to help,” Tim commented as he sipped his own coffee. “Technically, it’s bean water and sugar. If that’s not doing it for you you could try an energy drink.”
