He'd gag if any of the lieutenants were here and trying to order him around.. At least he'd be pretty convinced Hodgson wouldn't attempt to do so after how things went down back home, but with Little he hadn't been sure, especially with the way the other seems to stick to everything from back home otherwise, even here in this place. Irving would be even worse, he's sure. Thankfully it's just Little for now, and thankfully that man hasn't ordered him around at all.
"Instead he seems to.." Billy's voice trails off, and if Chloe turns her head to glance over at him at all, he's making a bit of A Face. "He called me by my name, and then asked me to call him by his."
A normal thing by modern standards, but by Victorian standards? It's far too intimate, especially for a guy like Billy. There's a reason he doesn't even call Chloe by her first name despite feeling close to her, after all.
"It feels strange. Back home he did not care about me at all, even when I was visibly sick and deteriorating in front of his own eyes. And now he is suddenly acting like this."
