(Sly's Pov)

"No. I'm busy." He said in a clipped tone.

"What's wrong? Is the assignment that difficult?"

"I'm just having difficulties in the browsing section. Most of the results I got aren't the right ones. I'm just tired of this." Lee whined.

"It's okay." I tried not to chuckle at the tone he made use of.

He sounded tired and funny.

"You think it's okay?" He snapped. "I've been working for close to four hours now, and I've not got half of the assignments done."

"Do you need my help? Just send the questions to me, and I will help you with them."

"Don't bother. It's my assignment. I should do them by myself."

"But I want to take a walk with you. I've been working for a long time. I wish to get a break."
