[Well he got told. Seriously tho River are you always this weird? He's trying to play it off like he's fine and while a good sleep has done wonders, he's still a mess.
You're going to trip if you keep doing that.
[But it's a warning through a lopsided smile. It's funny how familiar she feels, but its most likely the fact that she isn't taking any of his shit or being too careful with him. Really he's used to people either being total assholes or treating him like he's some special china teacup. River doesn't do either. It's refreshing.]
Really? What if she does this? [ She smirks a little - really, River can be a little brat at times, and she sure does love a challenge. It's rare that she has good days, days like this where she's almost that teenage girl that she's supposed to be, and Tom's lucky he's gotten his stalker on such a pleasant day.
Challenge in mind, she turns back to face the hall the right way, only not to keep walking. Instead she tips forward into a hand stand and grins brightly at him once she's up before walking forward on her hands for a few feet. Falling forward, she lands on her feet and straightens back up before turning to Tom. She has just about the most smug expression you can imagine on her face when she looks at him, and dips into a little curtsey as she raises her eyebrows. ]
[He can't help but crack a smile, stopping to watch her do her trick. He thinks she's going to fall and break her neck for a second but she seems to have it under control.
That might be the coolest thing he's ever seen.
Tom snorts and puts his hands in his pockets. No big deal, nooothing to see. It's not like that was super incredibly impressive and he is as coordinated as a brick in comparison.]
[ When he snorts she grins widely, doing a little spin before falling in step by his side again, hands in her cardigan pockets to match his posture as she wanders idly by his side. Granted there's far more skipping in her step, but she still keeps her pace matching his. ]
So she's been told. Don't be jealous. [ She teases him with a grin, removing a hand long enough to poke his side, and then abruptly grabs his elbow to turn them round a corner to a set of stairs. ] What does he do when he's not opening jars then? Back home.
[Apparently being in the company of River Tam means you have no personal space bubble. Taking his arm surprises him but he gets over it. Hopefully she didn't notice too much. It is in the smallest acts like this that she is obviously a younger sister and he an only child.]

[Most boring, vague answer possible.]
I'm kind of in between.. life things.
