Grinning from ear to ear, Billy shook his head, taking the moment to get back to his feet and mirror Teddy's own posture. "Tryin' to kill me with compliments now, buddy?" Billy darted forward a step then retreated - he'd gotten a lot lighter on his feet since being at the school. A lot of that had to do with Teddy being there - teacher and pupil and friend. Quite the deal they had going on.
Hopping back in with his left foot, Billy brought his right around, looking to make contact with Teddy's hip, thereby forcing the other to take a knee. His arms came up, fists on either side of his head, forearms covering his chest. No way would he give Teddy such an easy shot - but then again, there was a leg coming at him.
