Oh, Billy. The memories of that last time when Katara and Renne had been hurt are still there in Jamie's mind, brought back to the surface by that slow stretching. The Scot moves to his friend's side to help him up, only to find it's not necessary. The shielding that Billy has built does seem to be helping, but it doesn't take a genius to see how he's hurting right now. Those quiet words only serve to drive it home that much further.
Without saying anything, Jamie moves to embrace his friend. He would do the same for his real brother if he were hurting, and there's certainly no reason not to offer his ship brother the same comfort, even if it seems to be a small gesture right about now.
He'll stay there as long as Billy needs him to. Hopefully the Doctor won't mind too much.
