Billy lets out a sigh and slumps back against the door. "Definitely slim, but I might just have to start keeping one if I ever get out of here." He's mostly joking, but he's also frustrated. He's been stuck in there for longer than he would have liked.

He decides to push his shoulder against the door one last time before he gives up. He's so convinced that it's not even going to budge that he doesn't prepare himself for the fact that this time the door gives way and opens and he comes tumbling out of the closet.

"Ah, just as graceful as the first time I came out." He is beauty, he is grace...

Wilhelm, equally unprepared for the door to pop open, can't scramble out of the way fast enough. He settles for throwing his hands up, a haphazard attempt to catch Billy and stop his momentum. And it...sort of works. They stay off the floor, at least — though it's a near thing, narrowly swerved around with a lot of stumbling. When it seems that Billy is all right to stand on his own, Wilhelm steps back.

Notably, he perks up as the joke registers. Oh.

"I must've loosened it for you," he quips back, pushing his hair out of his eyes.

So...now what?

“At least I didn’t end up on my ass. Thank you for catching me.” Billy grins as he rights himself making sure he’s steady on his feet before letting go of the other boy.

“Well, hello, welcome to my malfunctioning domain. I’m Billy.” He stuck out a hand grin still on his face.

"Don't worry, I've been stuck in worse."

Dead serious, despite the humor lightening his tone. He answers Billy's handshake automatically, a kneejerk reaction.

"Wilhelm," he supplies, before stepping back to survey the room with an admiring eye. He's...seen it all already, but eye contact is exceedingly difficult to maintain when he can't figure out what the hell to say next. "Your place is cool."

[actualwizard]

“Well, I’m glad this place isn’t the worst of it. Despite doors not opening.”

Billy grins at him, that says a lot about where he’s from, the fact that he thinks the place is cool and isn’t confused by technology.

“Thanks! It’s almost like my apartment back home. But I added some stuff because why not?”

He motions for the other boy to sit, because they might be here awhile with the whole door thing and they may as well get comfortable.

“So, where are you from?”
