...The guy talking that bully out of... uh... Bullying?"

You nod in response, relaxing your stance.

"Yeah, that was me this morning. I just did what I thought was right."

He rests his head in his hand and leans on the table, not taking his eyes off of you.

"Well, I thought you handled it pretty well if I do say so myself. Someone's gotta stand up to those sorts of people, and it didn't seem like anyone else felt like it."

He bumps you on the shoulder with the back of his hand.

"You did good, pal! That kid you protected would probably still be in Nurse Redheart's office if you hadn't stepped in."

He smiles a wide, toothy grin at you as he finishes his sentence, lighting you up slightly.

He's probably right. 

Onwards.
