Oh, he'll be more than glad to let Billy see the light. Why cry over robots when he can have a wonderful birb friend, all the better if that also helps Ace one day realize his secret plan of transforming their garden into a small chocobo haven. He also doesn't need a special opportunity to suggest a similar trip, that said I would be fine with logging it whenever, even as soon as my inbox is manageable again.

I do love how you mentioned the cat twice, though.
