Don't start with that. You're not broken, you just screwed up. But I agree that you need to do some thinking.
[He moves to the door, opens it, pokes his head out, and whistles loudly. There's a brief scuffle, a jingling noise, and the padding of clawed feet on the floor as Optimus scampers in and circles around Billy. He leads the dog back over to the chair, where Optimus immediately starts sniffing at Loki. Billy on the other hand gets about as serious as he can possibly get.]
Optimus, Loki. Loki, Optimus. I promise you he doesn't drool, but he might lick your face off. I'm going next door for two minutes to get a first aid kit and some supplies for you. I'm also going to tell Teddy that neither of us are dead. My dog is going to babysit you for, again, two minutes max. Talk to him. Count down the seconds if you have to. Don't try to leave or my dog will sit on your face. I'm coming back and we are going to talk.
