He's really not up to much, today; he's got a paperback, a plate of cookies, and a glass of milk. Mostly he's ignoring all three for people watching.

Come say hello?

[[five little tags went out one day: Billy Kaplan, Hercules, Captain Viscen, Teddy Altman, Demyx]] Warning for random slowtimes.

The boy that shares Tonio's face, and is yet so utterly unlike him.

Billy Kaplan.

Teja had, indeed, been wanting to speak to him; so he approaches now that he sees him in the bar.

"Greetings, Billy Kaplan," he says, quietly.

[bluespells.livejournal.com]

"Oh, hi, Teja!"

He has no idea of the awkwardness to come, poor thing.

[ostro_goth]

Awkwardness? There need not be awkwardness, if all is well: - but that is what Teja is here to find out!

"I would sit, and speak to you awhile," Teja says, sitting down and sending a wait-rat for tea.

[bluespells.livejournal.com]

He's seventeen, and sheltered, and shy. There will be awkwardness regardless.

"Er, sure. Is something wrong?" Billy scoots the plate of cookies over.

[ostro_goth]

"Nothing is wrong," Teja says. The rat brings a mug of tea, and he does accept a cookie with it.

"I would speak to you about Xaldin," he finally says. "He mentioned that you, also, are giving him the support that he needs to keep his focus, until he gets heart, as I am doing as well."

His eyes never leave the young man's face as he speaks.

"Tiny Avenger!" Hercules greets. "Thou shouldst dine thyself on more empowering stuffs than these sweets."

[bluespells.livejournal.com]

"Milk is healthy!" He defends, automatically, before even looking to see who's there. "Oh, hi, Hercules. Sir."

[i-brained-clor.livejournal.com]

"Thou doth not need to call me sir," Hercules says. "But milk may do thy body good, but tis nothing like getting the proper amount of meat in you."

[bluespells.livejournal.com]

Hercules is giving him diet advice. It's like a walking, talking Avengers PSA. Sometimes Billy loves Milliways.

"I had bacon for breakfast! This is just a snack. Here, want one?"

[captainviscen.livejournal.com]

Hey, here's someone Viscen hasn't seen in a while.

"Hello, Billy. Are you studying?"

Casual reading? In Zelda land? Naaaah.

[bluespells.livejournal.com]

"Huh? Oh, no." He doesn't really remember you, Viscen. It's been a while. "This is just for fun."

[captainviscen.livejournal.com]

"What would you read for fun?" Bestiaries? That's what Viscen occupies himself with from time to time, but it's work.

[bluespells.livejournal.com]

"...Fiction?"

[alt-hulk.livejournal.com]

A cookie has disappeared. Oh, no.

Nom nom nom, the thief goes as the cookie gets loudly consumed.

Give it a few seconds, and there is a Teddy cuddling into Billy, equally suddenly. (Well, only if you don't count the loud *thump* it took to get on the couch. Shhh.)

[bluespells.livejournal.com]

Eeek! goes the Billy, before he realizes it is indeed a Teddy. At least he manages not to upset the milk. "Hi!"

[alt-hulk.livejournal.com]

"Hello!" Billy gets a kiss on the cheek for his troubles.

[bluespells.livejournal.com]

Such a nice boy!

Teddy gets a kiss on the lips in return, before Billy goes back to cookie-munching. "What've you been up to today? I just woke up."

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

So, if he's not paying attention to his cookies, that means they're fair game, right?

Right.

Nom nom nom.

[bluespells.livejournal.com]

"I was eating those!" Billy whines, even though he totally wasn't. It's the principal of the thing.

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

"You were ignoring them."

NOM NOM NOM.

"There's a difference."

[bluespells.livejournal.com]

"They were on a plate, in front of me, which clearly means that they are mine--!"

[dancewaterdance]

"Whatcha' reading?" Demyx asks, tilting his head to the side as he tries to peer over Billy's shoulder.

[bluespells.livejournal.com]

"Huh?" Billy jumps a little, then looks up. "Oh, hi. Lord of the Rings."

[dancewaterdance]

"Oooh!"

"What's that?"

[bluespells.livejournal.com]

"Only the best books ever."
