( On the one hand, Steve would be preoccupied with things like image. But why would he care about Eddie's image? This is all too weird, and if anything, it makes Eddie want to stick around longer and see if Steve just hit his head or something. )

Uh, not that I don't appreciate the concern, but you feeling alright Harrington? I mean, I half-expected to be shoved into a locker. Not to mention, I'm not used to Tweedledum and Tweedledee not hanging off your every word. ( It's weird, but not altogether unwelcome. )

I mean, I feel like I should stick around just to, you know, make sure you aren't having an aneurysm or something. Wouldn't want something like that somehow traced back to me. ( Which really is an argument to not hang around Steve, but Eddie is too curious for his own good. )
