...Is anything... alright with anyone?

[The answer is no.]

He's... he acts like it's fine. But things... have changed. I know they have.

[I'm scared.]

[She can admit to being a little surprised at the answer, because she would have suspected Teddy to be the one solid thing here, knowing the boy, but maybe she'd missed a step. Or maybe she'd just forgotten that despite who and what they are, they are both still boys.

She leans forward, resting her elbows on the bed again.]

How have things changed?

...He's... been shifting. Changing how he looks, a little bit every day. He thinks I don't notice, and... maybe sometimes I don't. But sometimes I do. And it's... it's not right. It's how he used to be, before we started going out...

[She absorbs that information with a troubled frown, thinking back over what she's observed in the days since the the shooting, seeing if she could pick up any subtle differences. She'd thought she'd noticed a thing or two, but she hadn't put much thought into why until now, with Billy bringing it up.]

Do you have an idea as to why?

[He glances sidelong at her, giving her a look, and gestures vaguely down at himself. You want the culprit? It's probably because of him. Everything else is, right now.]

I meant something a little more specific than that. [She gives him a wry look, but his motioned response has given her enough time to think about it. About Teddy and what she's observed. A few comments he made that she hadn't thought too deeply about, but connected with this new information...]

Could this be over the fact that there were two of him?

[Billy hesitates for a moment - he doesn't like to remember that - and then nods uncomfortably.]

That's... what he thinks. I think. And... I don't know how to tell him, otherwise. Not when... it's what he saw...

Sometimes words don't quite make up for an unintended hurt like that. [She gets that part at least. The whole 'let's talk about our feelings' was not one of her stronger skills.] Have you talked to him at all about it, or are you worried about how he'd react to the fact that you've noticed?

...Mm. I don't know what to say.

[...No. That's not quite right, either.]

...I don't... know if I can keep it together long enough to explain it. My head's...

[He gestures a bit helplessly, the movement erratic and unstable.]

...it's a mess...

[She gives him a small faint smile, the expression crooked and for once not wholly convincing, although there's still the same look of understanding in her eyes.]

Billy, I think all of us are a bit of a mess at the moment. [Although another thought occurs to her and she tilts her head, studying him intently for a moment.] Or are there more after-effects of the magic than you just being drained and exhausted?

[He chews idly on his lower lip, glancing sidelong at her. The surreal blue shade of his eyes glows a little, for just a moment or two, as if trying to give her an answer.]

In a way... I hope so. I hope... this isn't me...

[It's the first hint she's seen of that blue glow and there's part of her that tenses, because she can't help but relate it to the eerie glow that had looked out at her from Clint's eyes. She takes a moment, inhales and exhales, before reaching over and rests a hand light against his arm.]

It might take a bit to work it all out of your system, right? Be patient with yourself, Billy. Recovery doesn't happen overnight.
