You've reached Dr. Stephen Strange. Leave a message and my secretary will get back to you.

[ Billy's scrolled up far enough to see the picture, and - ah. Well, he's not going to point out that this was probably meant to be some kind of threat with Vanitas standing right there; weird covers it pretty well anyway. ]

You're telling me. I didn't think the babysitting duty was literal but I guess so.

[Unfortunately, after Vanitas's breakdown following Billy's death, Stephen's not inclined to take any of his threats to harm Billy too seriously. The kid's a dick and Billy would no doubt be better off without him, but gone are the days when Stephen assumes he's a deliberate threat, whether or not he'll be proven wrong at some point.]

What baby are you sitting? He said something about a kid?

[fanboyascended]

She's - three? Four? I'm really not good with ages. [ Or children. Or this kind of responsibility in general. ] Showed up with the last round of newbies and she was alone.

[thewarningafter]

Oh, the -- yeah.

[The developmentally delayed little girl he utterly failed to do anything to help.]

So you've got her. That...could be a lot worse.

[fanboyascended]

I think Steph's going to take her, after this.

[ He really does have his hands full with short and ornery. ]

Just, uh. Supervising.

[thewarningafter]

I'd offer to help, but....

[He frowns. Would helping take care of a child be such a bad thing for Peter? Of course, on the other hand, they'd both probably be terrible at it.]

[fanboyascended]

Busy in the land of the cat-people?

[thewarningafter]

Snowclan, Billy, get it right.

[There's no energy to put into the sarcasm, though. Not after everything that's happened.]

Busy, yeah. Let's call it that.
