I do knock, because it's not like I don't know that Billy has a boyfriend and all. I'm not about to just go barging in.

But I do then stick my head around the door, because it's also not like the Green Arrow Estates (Victorian Edition) don't have several rooms, and if they're up to Stuff in the entranceway we'll all learn a valuable lesson.

"Hiho," I say. "Everyone decent?"

Everyone is, indeed, decent. Billy, Teddy, and... Chase. Because that's not going to be as inexplicably awkward as Chase has been the last while. Great.
