Heath smiled when he saw his friend, and was still in the process of struggling to sit up when Gideon started talking. Not talking, scolding. Like his was his da. Which, to be honest, had happened a few times before and had never actually happened with his da, so maybe he was scolding like he was his Gideon... which made Heath laugh as he raised his hands, helplessly, like he could ward off his friend's concern.
Which pretty much put him on his back on the bench again. Balancing was a funny thing.
