"Or they're just non-demanding and prickly when disturbed." Simon laughed again, easing through the living room to deposit the zebra plant next to the door. He was just settling it down when he heard Billy say he was going to sit, turning to look back over his shoulder towards the other man, a certain amount of worry evident in his expression. He didn't rush over though, fiddling with the plant for a moment before rising back to his full height, hands sliding into his pockets.
"Hey. You doing okay? I mean. Honestly?" Simon asked, moving towards him slowly, his brows knit down just a bit in concern. The words were slightly worrisome, just enough to garner his attention, but again, he didn't know the man well enough to know if he should be worried. So he left the question open, prepared to handle the response, whatever it was.
