Billy nodded, his tentacles winding around the arms of his chair and his other limbs. His brain was stuck on his own misery, locked down on the worm-like quivering tentacle tips in his lap, tears still dribbling down his face to soak in his scraggly beard.

The sight of that was too pathetic for Sid to stand. His first impulse was to turn and walk away, but then he remembered retreating to his duplex would mean stairs.
"Uh... Do you need anything else?"

"Doctor lockheart...." He sighed, clicking his psydo beak as his tentacles fidgeted and wrythed, "in .... a pretty lacy wee t'ing..." To that he gave a manic sort of little laugh.

"I'm not familiar with her... But that sounds nice."
He lingered awkwardly by the tree for a moment, before it all got to be too much for him. "Uh, anyway... I should probably get going." He turned, and made it a whole step before his manners caught up with him.
"I'm Sid, by the way. If you ever need anything- besides women in lingerie, that I can't help with- just..." he paused to mentally kick himself for putting the offer out. "Just call me or something."

"Wait..! Wait... wait, wait... wait..." The octopus extended an arm at him with a desperate cry, "Another smoke! Please! Please please please, another cigarette?"

"Alright, alright, gimme a sec." Sid hobbled back over and went through the process of lighting another cigarette for Billy. He held it out. "Happy to be of service... Just, uh, try not to get too excited."

The octopus suckled on the cigarette, tears still dribbling down his face, "Thank you..." He wimpered, "I missed it... missed it so..."

Sid nodded in response, not sure what else he could say, or what the octopus meant. "Right... See ya around."
Not knowing what else to do, he walked off.
