( that's his cue to pull back, give loki some space, and billy takes it. he sits back on his heels on the ground, weight balancing on his knees as he looks over loki, checks just to make sure the wounds have healed themselves over. he did come back, but he also has full intentions of leaving. makes this whole thing more difficult, doesn't it? he needs to go back--to find tommy, save teddy, fix his parents.
it's already all happened for loki--who can't leave here. and as big of an asshole as loki has been, he's still part of their team. he's still a friend. and he deserves a lot of bullshit, but he doesn't deserve being left here while others come and go.
and billy doesn't know how to say all of that in words without it sounding like i'm definitely abandoning you some day, because he's--he's not. he won't. not like this. not again. what else can he do, though? )
( what he says instead is so much less wordy, less complicated: ) Take me with you next time.
