[Billy's face appears on the screen, it's clear he's worried. It's also kind of obvious he hasn't slept; dark circles rim his tired eyes. He looks exhausted and not at all like his normal bright self.]

Uh, has anyone seen my boyfriend? Tall, blond, incredibly too good looking for me, answers to the name Teddy. I seem to have misplaced him.

[Or he was still avoiding Billy. Or the real reason he couldn't find him was that he'd been sent home, home before they could even talk about what happened. Before he could apologize...at least Teddy wouldn't remember anything.]

If you see him, tell him...just tell him I'm looking for him.



Private text to Kate.

Tell me you're still here. I can't lose you too Katie.

(OOC: Action is also fine if you want to find him wandering around looking for Teddy. He could use the distraction :) Edit: He's also apparently now at the bar, someone keep him from drinking too much? Yeah? )

[ She listens to all of it with a careful expression, not judging him for any of the revelations he drops between them - and some of those are quite startling in themselves. The Loki thing especially. Although she's been getting a lot of interesting revelations about Loki lately herself, ones she's still trying to decide what to do with.

While he talks, she takes the ice cream scoop from his hand and finishes filling their bowls. When he's done. his is full and she hands it over to him, then offers him the bottle of chocolate syrup just in case. This conversation warrants an excess of chocolate, obviously. ]

'Accidentally' using magic on anyone is still that - an accident, which also says that perhaps your lessons in magic are warranted. Granted, you picked a pretty controversial choice in tutor, and I can understand his concern although I can't think of many more adept at wielding magic than him. [ Which was, in part, what worried her. What was Loki's angle in that little effort? ]

Teddy doesn't seem the sort to hold a long grudge, especially over things said and done in the heat of the moment. If he's off working through what you fought about, he'll be back when he's ready. Although considering not even your magic can't find him, it's more likely that this place is to blame. As his things are still here, I'm sure you'll get a chance to apologize soon.

[He has to admit he's a little surprised she's taking the Loki thing in stride, then again he probably shouldn't be. If anyone was going to listen to him it was Natasha.

He douses his ice cream in chocolate sauce and hands the bottle to her before speaking.] Technically Loki offered, but I know. I understand his concern too. I'd just like it if he didn't act like I was an idiot and he had to protect me from everything. Especially since not too far off in his future he walks away from me to deal with a magic eating parasite that wants to kill me. [So maybe he's still bitter about that.]

He wouldn't hold a grudge, or if he was and didn't want to see me he would let me know he was ok. [Especailly after Billy left him about five voicemails.] I have a feeling he's been sent home.

[widows_kiss]

Yes, but he's not his future, not yet. And everyone tends to be overprotective of the ones they care about. [ She points this out gently as she takes a bite of her ice cream, watching him thoughtfully. ] If he were in danger, I suspect you'd be just as worried and wanting to help. Considering how much effort you've tossed into trying to find him here, I'm guessing?

[ She steals the bottle of chocolate syrup back, adding it to her own ice cream as she nods and absorbs that information. ] Then the hardest part right now will be waiting for him to return. But it's still better than the alternative.

[actualwizard]

Guilty. [ He shrugged at her, smiling slightly as he ate his ice cream. ]

Yeah. I just hope the Teddy that comes back isn't like from before we even met. That would be my luck.

[widows_kiss]

I'm sure you could seduce him all over again.

[ She points this out with a gentle chuckle, but it's something she can sympathize with. Nothing like having someone who is an important figure in your life show up with no memory of you. Not that she's ever had that happen to her. Ever. Nope. ]

Most people seem to come back from further ahead, however. Not further back. I think you should be alright.

[actualwizard]

[That has Billy laughing.] I don't actually think I seduced him the first time. I would probably be horrible at that.

I hope so, there a lot I want him to know, even if it's painful. It's not fair to him that I have to keep secrets.
