[Tig wasn't expecting the shout, and much like the last time Venus snapped it's plenty to stop him in his tracks, never mind that he's not up to anything. She approaches, and if she's close enough by the time paths intersect he'll lean into whatever she offers, but he's fairly sure he can stand on his own without it. He looks towards her regardless, an apologetic look on his face, then looks over at Jax when he stands, putting Allison on hold for a moment. It gains an understanding nod; he were in Jax's position he'd need a breather too. Hell, he almost needs one now anyway, but he's got an armful of teenager right now. Little difficult to get away.]

Yeah, you too. I'll catch up with you later.

[And then his attention's all on Allison, or at least mostly there. He gives her a pointed look even as he returns the embrace, carefully.]

And I told you Jax isn't the enemy. He's family. What the hell happened?
