Your head feels a little clearer as you hop off the table, and from the looks of things Raj has cheered up a bit too… you can’t really speak to how effective it’ll be in the long-term, but you’re a <span class="mu-s">DELIVERY BOY,</span> not a <span class="mu-s">SHRINK</span>...
Hey Raj, you begin as you turn around to face your friend, what’s your next step anyways?
“Mine?” The skater remarks as he rubs his chin stubble, “I mean… my leg’s feeling better, so…”
Hey now, you interrupt as you notice the glint behind his bangs, he can take it slow if he wants-
“I don’t wanna take it slow, man!” He counters as he too jumps to his feet! “If I just stick around in this bunker I’m just gonna dwell on… well, you know…”
Yea, you mutter, but still-
“Look, dude, if you’re planning on doing something then I’ll be right there with ya.” Raj declares as he wipes his face on his orange sleeve! “<span class="mu-i">Some</span>one’s gotta be there to help you through all these weird thoughts and questions you’re askin’ me… plus…”
He thrusts Linda in front of your face with a fresh grin!
“Never know when you’re gonna need a kickflip, bro…”
Offering you his free hand for a shake, Raj smiles at you until you eventually relent and oblige him! Fine, you groan, but whatever happens-
“<span class="mu-i">Happens</span>.” He interrupts with a nod of his shaggy head! Matching his grin with one of your own, you point your thumb in the direction of the door. You’ve got some more stuff to do, you explain, but you’ll come get him when you’re done!
“Ten-four, dude.” Replies the skater before he suddenly clutches his wound! Y-you good!?
“Yep…” he winces with an apologetic smirk, “Been sitting around for too long–just stung a little, is all!”
Raising an eyebrow his way, you decide not to press the issue and shrug before heading for the exit.
“One more thing, dude!”
Pausing mid-exit, you turn towards Raj one more time. Yea?
“Thanks, my man…” He says, “For getting my mind off of things.”
You shake your head as a smile forms on your face. Likewise, bro.
