Billy sidled out kind of guiltily. "Yeah, let's go before my friends all change their mind about allowing me outside."

He'd managed to leave only with his reassurance that he wasn't going to be on his own and that if anything potentially lethal - or, okay, severely ... slightly harmful in any way looked like befalling him he'd magic himself out of there as quickly as he could, but nobody had seemed very pleased about it and he felt kind of bad.

But he needed a new cape. None of his teammates really understood - well, no; Temeraire at least was pretty enthusiastic about capes, but he'd probably end up pressing for Billy to use something way more ornate than he needed or wanted. Everyone else just thought capes were dumb.

Not that J wasn't liable to spend the entire time making fun of him, but it was easier to take from someone who wasn't actually on his team and in the habit of making fun of his cape on a regular basis.

J laughed at that one, but Billy brought up a good point: he was a Healer, and the Tagruato guys were after the Healers. J would have to be on his toes and then some today.

Between Billy's body language and the tune J could pick up, it was easy to see something was bothering the young Healer. He slung his bat easily over one shoulder and walked with the teen. "Penny for your thoughts," came the casual offer.

"Haha, uh." Billy shrugged, stuffing his hands into his pockets, shoulders slightly hunched. He had a lot on his mind, but not all of it was much he was all that willing to talk about. "Is 'Aah aaah we're all gonna die' worth a penny?" he offered. "Because that's pretty much a constant lately."

Billy got half a smile and a quirked eyebrow for that one. Unfortunately for him, he was walking with the one Agent who had absolutely no qualms about prying into other peoples' business. "'Fraid not," J replied easily. "They're givin' that one away for free nowadays. What else've you got?"
