Tyler was late this morning, and looked a little scruffy.

... someone might have been a little hungover from some birthday drinking.

The fantastic role model tossed directions and boxes of popsicle sticks down on the lab tables.

"We're building catapults," he announced, and gave the world's shortest and sketchiest lecture on what a catapult was. "It's teaching .. engineering. And physics."

"Work together," he added, then looked at the student he had reason to assume was the despoiler of poor Smoochy "Miss Yamanaka, I'd like a second of your time after class."

"It's not something that makes it easier for me to sleep at night," Tyler said. "But -- if you don't think it'd be a very good threat, and I don't think it'd be a very good threat, I should probably just relax and enjoy the thought and the, um, artistry."

Her eyes were clear and guileless. "It's probably for the best," Ino said earnestly. "I'm sure who ever did it only meant for you to do just that."

"Good to know," Tyler said, waving a hand to dismiss her. "Oh, and next time? Type the sign."

Her grin deepened as turned away.

"Why would I do that?" Ino asked lightly. "Loses part of the personalization."

Tyler was laughing into his fist as he watched her go.

It was his first civil conversation with Ino in months, and all it took was the sad, painful death of a purple rhino.
