Billy found a seat in front of them, folding his legs beneath him and smiling. This was much more comfortable! He looked up at Elli, very relieved to find that she was fairly...normal. For now.

"As I said, I've been directing the engineers around here for a while. I got there with my years of experience tinkering with things. Everything that I could get my small hands on was taken apart," he laughed, "and my parents weren't too happy with that. They had to build me a lab in the garage just to keep me away from their stuff."

He raked a hand through his hair as he thought, remembering the sorts of things Ronnae had wanted to know about Earth. "I'm from a planet called Earth, and the region I lived in was far more peaceful than Azeroth---at least it was for a while. I grew up simply studying and learning everything that I could. Most of my peers didn't like that and made their disapproval known, but I got by. I had a few friends eventually, though, and when war from an invading force began my friends and I were drafted and given powers. I was by far the weakest of the group---I still am, no doubt---but I've trained to the point that I can function on a battlefield without being too much of a liability now. I'm still training, hoping that I can be on more even footing with these three someday."

He'd come from a brief training session with a few of his friends, actually, wearing the loose top and shorts he usually saved for running, weights, and martial arts.
