[ It is much shorter than five minutes that he approaches the door next to his following this interaction. But there's a short moment where he pauses - tries to think about what to say - and quickly shoved it down before knocking on the door. ]
[Gwen answers the door-- wearing a pair of trousers and a simple tunic. She's mostly been keeping to herself after checking on Peter not quite sure how to handle her current circumstance and how other people react to it. She's hopeful that Billy won't make things too awkward.
But she is getting antsy, so having some company is probably a good thing. She gives him a small smile and wave since she can't really say anything, then gestures behind her to where her drum set is sitting. She's already started taking it apart to travel.]
[ The girl opens the room to her door and William smiles faintly - a small, short thing not sure what to do with itself. ]
Hey.
[ Embarrassingly simple as he steps inside. He's polite enough to not look anywhere but at the drum set in question as he shifts his weight. ]
If you don't want to take it a part further, I can move it no problem? I've been working on my magick for a while now.
[ Easy, an attempt, and then he offers: ] We can also speak - up here - if you want?
[ He taps his temple wanting to leave either of those things in her court, even if he by nature already hears other to begin with. Noticeably invading is different. ]
[Gwen looks pretty uncertain about that offer, but it is probably better than any alternative. Trading texts with Peter in person had been incredibly tedious. Finally, though, she nods at the offer for both the drum set and the speaking in the head.
Even though she's no idea how that works. Maybe it will be intuitive? Or... is he hearing her right now? Oh, god, don't think anything weird, Gwen. And that only makes her think of the strangest things her brain decides to pop in there. Don't mind her, she's just turning bright red, as she starts thinking about Miles. Kissing Miles. Nope, not that.
Now kissing Peter? Dammit. Oh, god. Kill her again now, please.]
[ He waits for her permission to move - although her permission isn't needed for the telepathic part of this. Unfortunately. Still, he'd rather not make a note of it without it. So he nods - the blue light she'd once seen tickling his finger tips as with a gesture he lifts the drum set as easily if they were feathers and - ]
[ Well. The thought of kissing boys is not what he's expecting. Really, he should, he's been in high school for way too long not to get more image than what he'd like but - ]
[ Knowing one of them and thinking one of them is cute is enough to earn pause. A flustered look passing before he settles on: ]
Sounds like you've been busy.
[ Looks? He's not going to rib her more as he inclines his head to the door. ]
You don't have to do anything special. I just hear people - all the time. I've been like this as long as I can remember. I can speak in their heads now, too, but — [ A beat. ]
[She's not been busy. As she'd not actually done either of those things? Just her brain being an asshole. There's been no kissing. There's been a distinct lack of kissing anyone at all. Not that she wouldn't kiss Miles if he showed up here, and Peter is nice too if she's honest. So much like her own Peter before she'd lost him.
Gwen's just been trying to survive in this place, truthfully. And failing, seeing as she'd died. Along with Peter.
The blush sticks around, but she takes in a deep breath and lets another out, trying to collect herself. She nods at his instruction, scrunching up her face as she thinks at him.]
Like this? Sorry, just the thought of someone in my head made me worried about what you'd see... so it, um, yeah. Anyway. Drums?
