Narrative:

I was working local control and launched small aircraft Y off runway 10. After clearing intersection, I launched air carrier X off runway 14. After observing air carrier X roll, I turned small aircraft Y right heading 180 degrees and issued traffic on air carrier X departing runway 14. Small aircraft Y had traffic in sight and I visually observed both aircraft from tower. Air carrier X later called back to state he had to modify his departure to ensure 500' vertical. Lesson: exchange traffic to both aircraft; don't surprise anyone!
