"Unused to huddling," he admits.

Mostly because it's Chloe. He's already admitted so much to her at this point that it truly doesn't feel anymore like it could hurt to admit even more. It's not a point Billy often gets at with people, but here he is. Huddling, indeed.

At least it's a productive huddle, since it's definitely starting to sound less like she's turning into an ice cube.

"This amount of physical contact has never been common for me." Or anyone in his time, really. And on a personal level for Billy, it feels even stranger to do it with a woman, when he's been so desperately trying to avoid any and all contact with them back home, lest he be trapped in a life that would be a nightmare for him. "I only ever share this much of it with Cornelius."
