The Battle That Ended The Century

People say that war is hell. This looked it.

Buildings and cars and bodies are scattered like broken toys as far as the eye can see, stretching out toward a dirty horizon. Even the clouds seems streaked with mud and blood, and they're taking it out on everyone below with a constant stream of cold, soaking rain.

The sounds of fighting seem to come from all directions, but at this moment, there's no one else in sight.

A breather. The calm before the storm.

It is honour to be help to thee. This is...what is the word? Walking upon cake. Thee, not a parasite. Thee, T'hy'la. One glad to be help to thee.

It is a cakewalk compared to some of the things he's taken on before and his Empathic gift had on more than one occasion been leeched by parasitic types.
As such, since Bee won't do it, he will. Poke a shoulder, that is. -- Ticke into submission?
Oh, is that so, hm? That gets an all-out grin and the beastie dares to tickle-skritch under an arm.

Cue the innocent look then.

A cakewalk, Billy translates. As much as I hate to see you hurt, I trust your judgment.

He has to fight to keep the corners of his mouth from quirking upward when Renne tries a tickling, but he instead manages to send an unmistakably fond rush of emotion. Very funny. But we have to get going---the King's real soldiers are advancing, and they'll start firing on us at any minute.

As One trust thee.

Well, he'd almost succeeded. Putting on his best "I'll get you yet!" expression, the beastie returns that rush. It should be noted that even now, the minor things he'd taken on begin to slowly fade and it seems that flood of emotion back and forth helps the process along.

Thee are healer to this jaded life. We go, side to side together, yes?

Now he's serious. Although reluctant, the oddity crawls down to the ground so Billy can have hsi hands free.

You're absolutely incredible, do you know that? Billy briefly touches his palm to the side of Renne's face, reasonably sure neither of them had been injured in that area. He marvels at the whole thing---despite his failure and the unforgivable acts, both committed atrocities and near-misses, Renne still wants to be near him.

He'll still have pain and guilt to work through regarding his other friends later, of course, but it's a great comfort to know that this friend won't leave.

As he reluctantly stands, peeking out to check on the progress of the enemies, he answers Renne's latest query with one word. Always.
