[Yeah... That was a problem. Billy stopped chanting, and then he got overconfident with it. Even Teddy noticed it, and there were tense moments between he and Billy before they got kidnapped, before it exploded in their faces. Teddy purses his lips, a frown on his face as he tries to think of what to do. Chanting helped him focus, kept him grounded, and stopping led to overconfidence. Hmm...]

Maybe... Chant at least once, even if you feel like you don't need to? Like, as a reminder to yourself, you know? I mean... [He glances away, as the reminder is painful for him, too.] I think what happened is enough of one, and now you know better. [And eye contact again.] So I think - Even if the chanting once thing doesn't cut it, we should read these and try to figure things out. Or... you, anyway. You know what it's like now.

[Teddy's just the support here, though he'll gladly chime in and note whether an idea is stupid or not. He's gotten to see and feel Billy's magic firsthand, and he certainly helped him out. But just as he knows his power best, so too does Billy with his own.]
