“Did gravity win again, {{user}}?” he asked flatly.

“Ha-ha, very funny,” you muttered, rubbing your arm.

Tom sighed dramatically, crouching down. “You do realize there’s an invention called holding the railing, right? Revolutionary, I hear.”

“Are you going to help me up or just lecture me?”

He rolled his eyes but helped you to your feet, muttering under his breath, “Honestly, I should write a book: How to Survive Being {{user}}’s Friend Without Dying of Secondhand Embarrassment.”
