That's... actually pretty close, yeah. Short version, missing a couple of reasons I was angry at him, but mostly accurate.

We already fought. I hadn't told him about something too, it was a mess.

Do you want to elaborate on that 'mostly'? You don't have to.

The parasite looked like my dead mom. He DID get very close to convincing me Billy made me up, and we nearly split up because of it. And he was going to steal Billy's magic.

He also made his guilty conscience manifest itself as real people, so there's that.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that.

Who manifested?

It's okay. I shouldn't have got my hopes up. And I was the one who decided to listen to Loki and Leah and spend some time away from Billy. So at least some of it is my fault, anyway.

A few people. Leah, America's ex-boyfriend, some of Noh-Varr's ex-girlfriends. I still don't know what was going on with the fake Patriot, that might not have been Loki at all.

That's ... a lot of people to spring from his own head. Who's Leah?

Oh, sorry. She kind of pretended to be my therapist, and then kidnapped me. You'd... probably better ask Loki who she was, really. We met the real one, but only for about five seconds. He didn't seem very comfortable around her.

He wouldn't like hearing we've been talking about him. He can tell me whatever he wants, whenever he wants.

Until then, I still trust him.

I'm just saying, I don't exactly know who she was. Just that Loki made her appear.

Trust is probably easier if you can tell when he's lying. And if it's been more than a week since all this happened, which it is for him and everyone else. I'm still having nightmares about being a chair.

Trust is harder when you can tell someone is lying. There are reasons they do it, even if I don't th

did you just say you were a CHAIR?

...Yes. It wasn't exactly a big deal.

[SO MUCH LIE.]

Yes, it was! Oh my God. WHY were you a chair? You're not okay, are you?

I'm a shape-shifter. Mother kind of just hijacked that after I got kidnapped so I wouldn't be able to go anywhere.

[Deliberate evasion of the question, yup.]

[ SHE SEES WHAT YOU DID THERE. ]

Jesus, Teddy. If you need to talk to someone, I'm here. I won't tell anyone what you say.

[ If he doesn't want to worry his boyfriend with it, that is. She wouldn't, if she were him. ]

I don't know, to be honest. There's not much more to say, I just got myself trapped in a shape I didn't choose and couldn't get out of. By something that still looked like my mom at the time.

Do you like wine?

I never really got a taste for wine, no. Beer or spirits, mostly. Why?

I do. You're old enough to drink, right?

I... actually am. Wow, I'd kind of forgotten my birthday even happened.

When was it? Now we have an excuse to go out for a drink and talk about nothing.

A couple of months ago now. In the middle of being on the run, before I left the group.

Do you want a real celebration? It's worth asking, a birthday is a birthday.

I did get one, it just got interrupted by aliens. I guess it might be nice to have one that didn't end in a fight and Kate sneaking off to smooch Noh.

You'll have to regale me with all kinds of stories. I'm about as out of the loop on things as anyone can be.

I'm not sure there's that much to tell. Most of the fun stuff happened after I decided to take some time out.
