[ Kieren stares for a moment, processing: his relationship with Cornelius. It only takes a few beats before his expression softens, his head dipping a little as he smiles. He knew Cornelius was gay, but it hadn't really clicked where Billy was concerned and he's mentally kicking himself for not realising it sooner.

Yeah, best mates. Just like how Rick was his best mate, too.

It feels... bittersweet, just for a moment. With everything that happened for them back on the Expedition. But there's more happiness after that moment. He's happy for Billy. Cornelius too. He means that.

Billy's not looking at him when Kieren lifts his head to look back up at him. He gets it. This kind of stuff's not exactly easy. ]

Hey. [ It's offered softly. ] It's okay. I'm— uh, on the same team, for lack of a better word. Sort of.

[ He doesn't just like men. He likes people. ]

But... that sounds like a really good decision to me, Billy.
