[billy's going to learn (sooner rather than later) that 'outlandish' can't even quite describe klaus as a person. the building literally takes up a whole block-- if it were timed correctly, there's a chance billy could come, stay the night and head out before any of his siblings were aware. also, it'd be a safe place for him to go, considering the other superpowered people hanging around.]

Sure have, but don't worry, sweetness. [he waves a hand, dismissive, fluttering his fingers toward the sky before lowering them to pluck the pack of cigarettes from his pocket.] Explosiveness isn't new to the Umbrella Academy and it's nothing we can't handle, so my offer stands. [actually, he's pretty sure naming things off that haven't happened to the mansion would be a shorter list at this point.

after shaking out one of the tobacco sticks and the roach he'd tucked away earlier, klaus pinches the slightest amount of nicotine from the cig, replaces it with the tiny bit of joint then lights up, holding momentarily as billy talks about his own drug use. the smoke comes out on an exhale, followed closely by an amused snort.]

Damn, you must've been stupidly high to not have noticed that. [a considering raise of his eyebrows, his mouth curving up at the edges.] And super cold because I can't imagine it would have been all that warm? Unless, of course, your temperature runs higher than normal, which would make sense.

Either way, those were some lucky ass cops.
