[politehulk]

No, no it wasn't my fault. It's not - stop saying that!

[you can't hear the other half of this conversation, natch]

Stop it... There's nothing wrong with who I am. There's nothing wrong with me!

[rustle, fumbling around]

Hey! Give that back!

Teddy Altman caused the death of the woman who raised him. Hasn't taken responsibility

incoming!

[punnotintended]

[bursting in from the other room!]

Teddy?

incoming!

[punnotintended]

[Rolling his eyes. Most immature shadow ever.]

Darkness makes sense, as long as it doesn't mean you have to stay there all day. Want to see if the closet's dark enough?

incoming!

[politehulk]

I'd stay in the closet all day if it'd make it go away.

[Heading back into the bedroom and clearing out some things from the bottom.]

incoming!

[punnotintended]

I'd try to magic it away but-

[Shrugging, and trailing along after.]

incoming!

[politehulk]

[Sitting on the floor of the closet, chin in hand. Feeling a little guilty at being so brusque with Billy so he manages a smile.]

I know. And thank you. I'd give you a hug, but I don't want this thing in reaching distance of you.

incoming!

[punnotintended]

I'm sure I could handle your evil twin shadow.

[Small joke back! But he grabs a pillow from the bed in case there's sitting to be done.]

Are you looking for alone time? Or is it fine if I sit and squat with you?

incoming!

[politehulk]

[Pulling out phone and dialing Billy's number before turning off the screen.]

There. Now I can close the door, see if the shadow goes away, and we can talk.

incoming!

[punnotintended]

Peachy keen.

[pulling out his!]

You do know Blackberry's are very much cooler than anything Apple could make, right?

incoming!

[politehulk]

[With the closet door shut it's pitch dark, but with a little tweaking and some old high school Bio knowledge he manages to get enough sight to know where everything is.]

Blackberries might be more powerful, but you still have to carry around an iPod. Better to have two in one very pretty package. And I don't spend nearly as much time as you on the internet.

[Thankful for the distraction.]

incoming!

[punnotintended]

I don't spend that much time on the internet. Just... fine.

[Sprawling on the floor with his back against the closet door.]

Where do you think Tommy got an ipod? Apparently he gave Karolina's friend Molly one.

incoming!

[politehulk]

Yeah, don't even try to win that argument.

[The first real smile since he's woken up today, not that Billy can see it.]

Do you really want to know? Hopefully he paid for it.

incoming!

[punnotintended]

Yeeeeeah. Jail's not the problem. It's just I'd rather not deal with the idea he gifted a stolen ipod.

incoming!

[politehulk]

I'd rather he steal to make some little girl happy than steal to make himself happy, but maybe that's just me.

incoming!

[punnotintended]

[laughing!]

Karolina would probably kill him if it really was stolen. It's probably better if we don't ask.

incoming!

[politehulk]

[Can hear you laughing and does that sappy thing, touching the door where he figures you'll be.]

I think he's growing on Karolina, actually. She threatens to kill him less often than when I arrived. He's pretty good at that.

incoming!

[punnotintended]

[Oblivious Billy is oblivious, but if he were in Teddy's situation he would have done it the same.]

Being wily? I'm just glad he's - we're staying out of trouble.
