Room 405, Tuesday Morning

[l1ttle_billy]

Billy found himself trying to come up with creative ways to defy Umbrage's newest decree. There weren't too many loopholes left to obnoxiously exploit. Maybe he could somehow injure himself while in bed at the appointed time, so as to belie her claim it was for their safety.

ooc: For the fake sister.

"He's very paranoid. I think I'm one of a handful of people in the world who know what he actually looks like."

Well, if anyone should know, it'd be you," Willow said.

Billy chuckled ruefully. "Except that I didn't, until I was 12. The first ten years of my life I didn't even know he was my father. Then I lived with my first sensei for a year. After that I was in a coma." He touched his eyepatch. "When I woke up, he was there. Swore to make it all up to me."

"Unless his first attempt was a puppy I'm guessing he didn't really have much success," Willow said.

"Actually his first attempt was this leg." Billy knocked on the metal prosthesis. "Then things got complicated, and someone tried to kill him, and he went crazy..er. That was the end of the very short good times we had."

"I'm sorry to hear it," Willow said, with sympathy. "Other than being on guard, or possibly en guarde, for them trying to come after you, is there anything I can do t ohelp?

"Unless you know a cure for crazy, I don't think so. Actually I hear from my future kids that he might go so crazy later as to be harmless. So much so that he lives with us."

"Wow," Willow said. "Talk about your mixed blessings."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Heh. Yeah no kidding."

"Well, I may not know a cure for crazy, but I do know how to hug," Willow said, by way of an offer.

"That'll work." Billy smiled. "And at the same time you're helping me, you're also defying Umbrage."

"Then I am for both, and its cyclical relationship to how our encounter today began," Willow said, giving him a hug.

He hugged her back gratefully. "You're the best fake sister ever."
