During L’manburg Tommy had been receiving and sending a lot of letters to someone but would get incredibly defensive whenever someone asked about it.

Even more so during Pogtopia till the person writing back and forth with Tommy showed up. It was unexpected especially since it was right after Tommy and Techno just argued and fought in the Pit.

Tommy had jumped up, yelling some parental term at them once realizing they were in the ravine and pushing away from Niki trying to bandage him up.

Techno looked up from talking with Wilbur to see Tommy jump into this persons arms while they lifted the teenager off the ground in a hug while cooing and checking him over and immediately scowling when she saw the state of post-pit fight Tommy.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m fine, I’m a big man.” Tommy said, fists on his hips probably but hissed in pain when his bruised and cracked knuckles were touched.

“Who.” His parental figure practically growled, hands tightening on his shoulders while grabbing a healing potion from their bag.

“It was Techno but I’m good—seriously, it’s fine!”
